Keeping up with the Texas theme, here’s one from your No. 24, Lyle Lovett.

The guy with the funny hair who once was married to Julia Roberts is responsible for some amazing country songs. This song, for instance, is just brilliant:

Lyle Lovett – God Will (buy album)

Who keeps on trusting you
When you've been cheating
And spending your nights on the town
And who keeps on saying that he still wants you
When you're through running around
And who keeps on loving you
When you've been lying
Saying things ain't what they seem
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

And here’s bonus track from another legend of Texas country music, your No. 21 most favorite country artist, Doug Sahm:

Doug Sahm – Wolverton Mountain (out of print).

I got this track from LD over at The Adios Lounge, which is a must-stop on my music blog surfing schedule. Be sure to check out his recent post on Doug Sahm.
