I'm sure I will repeat some but here are the 5 favorite country songs on my set-list:
Poncho and Lefty (most folks recognize it because of Willie/Haggard version but it's still a singer/songwriter tune, to which I like to stay true whenever I can)
Sunday Morning Coming Down - (Kristofferson) Same thing here, Cash made it popular.
Me and Bobby McGee (Kristofferson version obviously - I mean I love JJ but I could never pull it off and Kris' version is very country.
I'm Still a Guy - Brad Paisly (he is about the only contemporary Top40 country artist I listen to and I love his songwriting / selection)
Big Iron - Marty Robins (My version is patterned after the Johnny Cash American Recordings version, which I like better than Marty's)
Others of note - Folsom Prison Blues, He Stopped Loving Her Today, Desperado (enough country folks have covered it to qualify I think)
