Best friends. Old friends. New friends. Besides country love songs, country breakup songs, and patriotic country songs, friends are one of the most popular subjects in country music. And with good reason! What would we do without our friends to make us laugh, take us through the hard times, give us advice, and celebrate the good times? Our friends love us in spite of ourselves, and every country song has a different way of celebrating that connection.
From classics by all-time country greats such as Dolly Parton, George Strait, and Johnny Cash to the more recent sounds of artists such as Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift, country music always knows how to tell a tale about friendship. And friendship has many forms. Whether your best friend is your sibling, your significant other, or your mom or dad, country music has it covered with a song. So, laugh, cry, reminisce, and be grateful for all your friends, wherever they are. It doesn’t matter how near or far away they are—or even if they’re still with us here. True friends are never parted, as these songs attest. So, grab the tissues, and call your BFF right now so you can listen to these best country songs about friends together.
