Texas Country - Father/Daughter Dance

KatC82

I'm trying to find a good Texas Country song for the father daughter dance and I am completely stumped.
For those who don't know... Texas Country and Country are two completely different types of music (no George Strait, Jason Aldean, Zac Brown, Taylor Swift, etc).
All of our important songs (first dance, etc) are going to be by Texas Country musicians, just am having a hard time trying to come up with one for this dance.

Any suggestions?

ok I really don't know the difference between Texas Country and Country (I'm from Jersey, lol) but does "Just Fishin" by Trace Adkins count?

Could you give us some examples of Texas Country artists?

kaytik

something by Wade Bowen, Jason Boland, Pat Green, Randy Rogers - I just don't know the specific song names.

kaytik

And can't forget Josh Abbott!!

KatC82

Kaytik has it right.

Pat Green
Stoney LaRue
Cross Candian Ragweed (even though they are from OK)
Bleu Edmondson
Charlie Robison
Bruce Robison
Jack Ingram
Jackson Taylor.. etc.

I really considered this song for the Father/Daughter Dance, but didn't go with it because neither one of us is into country music.   That being said, this is perfect:

My Wish - Rascall Flatts
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

KatC-  what are some of the other songs your using, specifically your first dance?  We are doing Texas Country and are having a hard time picking a first dance. I just dont think our father daughter dance will be texas country as my dad likes butterfly kisses!

MBS - We are doing Texas Angel by Honeybrowne for our first dance.
I listen to Pandora all day and have been writing down songs as I hear them and one I came across that is really good is Forever by Bart Crow. If Texas Angel wasn't our song, I would completely use that one. Also other ones I found are:
Feet Don't Touch the Ground - Stoney LaRue
Set the world on fire - Josh Abbott
Baby's got a whole lot more - Reckless Kelly
Reckless - Reckless Kelly
One thing - Pat Green
Good night for dancing - Josh Abbott
Stick Round - Reckless Kelly
Love finds everyone - Cory Morrow
Freeze Frame Time - Brandon Rhyder

Casey Donahew channel on Pandora is my favorite lol. Hope this helps you out some!!! Good luck   Hook 'Em!!

I'm from Texas but I live in Virginia- we haven't decided which state to get married in but if it's here in VA I plan on using Gary P. Nunn's "What Ilike about Texas"- tribute to home and one of my dad's favorite artists.

How about Aaron Watson's "Hearts are Breaking Across Texas"

I lived in Texas for 17 years...love love love Texas Country!
