1. Everything I Love
Starting with a #7 hit on Billboard’s US Hot Country Songs, Everything I Love is a country ballad about the heartbreak that encapsulates the aftermath of a messy breakup accurately. This song also seems to be a reminder to people who said Wallen’s songs aren’t “country” enough.
The guitar riffs and Morgan’s Tennessee accent make this song infectious and I highly recommend you listen to it.
2. Thinkin’ Bout Me
This song is made for anyone who is, as the Gen-Z say, delulu (delusional) and thinks that their ex is still one hundred percent obsessed with them. The lyrics nudge at a past lover, asking them to stop lying that they are not thinking about them.
The rhythm of this song blends perfectly with the vocals and lyrics and I suggest you check it out, it will be worth it. The song ranked #2 on Billboard’s US Country Airplay.
3. Sand in my Boots
Don’t let the soft piano and the soothing vocals of the singer fool you as the lyrics of this platinum song are much deeper than it may seem. This track is about nostalgia and longing, yearning for a past summer romance.
There is no use in denying the fact that we all have spent sleepless nights, reminiscing on old texts and memories. Morgan just decided to sprinkle some salt in our wounds by putting this experience into a song.
4. Last Night
There is something so wholesome about the typical country music sound. Morgan embraces it fully in this song and perhaps that’s what helped the singer reach the #1 spot on Billboard Hot 100.
The song is about two lovers who know they are not good for each other and that it must end yet they keep going back to each other. The words “last night” symbolize a couple of decisions made in a hazy, drunken state even though they decided on something else earlier.
5. One Thing at a Time
The next song we have on our list is yet another incredibly relatable situation we have all been in. The singer bluntly addresses an old lover and their demand that he gets over her but he admits that he can only do one thing at a time, whether it’s stop getting high to forget her or to erase her memory from his mind or get over her.
I feel less lonely knowing someone else (Morgan Wallen) is out there who is just as unhinged as me after a breakup. If you feel the same then join our group and stream this hit song right now!
6. Thought You Should Know
Before I start, I recommend you watch the wholesome music video of this song. This track is a tribute from the singer to his mother, letting her know that he has finally found his way in life and that all the prayers she said for him did not go wasted at all.
It is an update about his life that he could have given to his mom on the phone but he decided to make it a song instead. It is a cute, heartfelt song regardless, one that went #1 on many charts and has platinum certifications.
7. Up Down
If you want a carefree song about enjoying life then Morgan has just the perfect song for you. Up Down is about the simple joys of life, whether it’s cold dri or having a good time at the beach, or hanging out with friends and family.
The upbeat melody of this song makes it the perfect summer song and I would recommend you to give this fan-favorite song a listen.
8. Wasted on You
If there is one thing you need to know about this Tennessee country music singer, it is that he likes his drinks, which will be evident in many of his songs. This one in particular portrays the numbing effect of alcohol that helps after breakups and when dealing with tough feelings.
I would not recommend this song to anyone under the age of 21, you know, just in case. It did go 5 times platinum in the US, I do have to add.
9. Don’t Think Jesus
This song, according to Morgan is one of his most personal songs even though it is not written by him. Some of his friends wrote this song for him, about him, in which the story of a boy who turns to Jesus after some shameful actions.
The song ranked #1 on Billboard’s US Hot Country Songs in 2022. This is a very emotional song and if you resonate with the story of it then you should check it out.
10. Whiskey Glasses
This track is about a man turning to Whiskey to forget about the pain of heartbreak and to cope with it. This is a very dangerous and unhealthy coping mechanism and I would not recommend anyone indulge in it.
The lyrics, however, seem to be very relatable to many people, which is why the track went 7 times platinum in both USA and Canada.
11. 7 Summers
Wallen released this song in 2020 and it portrays the reminiscing and longing of a person for a past love for 7 summers. Both, the lyrics and the vibe of the song are nostalgic and I would recommend you to check this superb song out.
The song charted #1 on Billboard’s US Hot Country Songs in 2020. The singer also released an 8-minute short film based on the song which was inspired by some events in his own teenage years.
12. More Than My Hometown
If you are from a small hometown and have big dreams then this song will be very relatable for you. Wallen sings about the choice he had to make, to choose his small-town romance or the pursuit of his dreams which will lead him outside of his hometown.
The universal experiences that Morgan targets are the reason why fans love him, it’s because they can connect with him on a personal level. This song went platinum in more than two countries, making it a hit.
13. 865
It turns out that Morgan did in fact choose his dreams and so this song appears to be for his past love. The number 865 is the area code of where the singer grew up and in the song, he says that the drinks he drown taste just like 865.
It is a very clever way to admit that everything you do still reminds you of that one person. This song did quite well on the charts and has multiple platinum certifications.
14. Cover Me Up
This track is originally by Jason Isbell and Wallen covered it later on, giving the song a whole different emotional twist. The track describes many things such as addiction recovery, love, and redemption.
Morgan’s version of the song is very raw and honest, making it an international hit.
15. F150-50
F150-50 is the name of a truck, which is used as a symbol to describe the relationship of a couple, in which they have both ups and downs. The main theme of the song is the severe distress of the boy who is not sure what the status of his relationship with a girl is.
The boy acknowledges in the song that the girl might miss him but there is the possibility that she will be better off without him. It is quite an emotional song and I recommend you check it out.
16. Man Made A Bar
This country ballad is a collaboration between Morgan Wallen and Erich Church. It’s about a man who was heartbroken and drinks helped him get through this tough time and so he ended up making a bar.
The lyrics describe how God made man, but the man got lonely so God sent him an angel (a woman) then the man got his heart broken and he didn’t know what to do so he made a bar. A very relatable experience for many, I believe!
17. Cowgirls
I think Morgan has had his heart broken by plenty of girls, he is the male equivalent of Taylor Swift at this point. This song is about cowgirls, how they are so lovely that your are bound to fall for them but then they will break your heart.
The beat of this song and the lyrics are perfect and I would recommend you listen to it immediately, you will not be disappointed.
18. Chasin’ You
This is yet another song about missing an ex and the memories so much that you long to reconnect with them. The lyrics are relatable to every person in this universe so you should give it a try, if you haven’t already.
The song charted #1 in 2019 on Billboard’s US Country Airplay. It also has platinum certifications in both America and Canada.
19. Somebody’s Problem
This country music hit by Morgan is about a girl he met who lit up any room she walked in but she had that kind of smile that implied that she has been mistreated by somebody in the past. He refers to knowing that she is “somebody’s problem, somebody’s goodbye”.
This song is a very unique song as we all have thought these things about someone but no artist have ever put it into words before like this.
20. You Proof
Wallen released this song in honor of his 29th birthday and it’s about wanting to forget the memories of a past lover. The singer pleads “I need something you proof” and his wish is heard as he finds alcohol to be the best solution.
The song was number 1 on Billboard’s US Hot Country Songs. At some point, you have to wonder if Wallen was letting any other artist get to the top of the charts or not.
21. Livin’ The Dream
Livin’ The Dream is basically a song that portrays the reality of, well, living your dream. The singer describes his wild lifestyle along with the challenges he faced in the pursuit of is dreams.
He informs people that this journey is not all happy, it is like roses. It has the good parts but it also has the thorns and you have to make many sacrifices.
22. More Surprised Than Me
This acoustic masterpiece is about a man who is with a woman who is out of his league. The singer talks about how everyone questions that there is no way she is with him but he himself marvels at the same thought and says “Nobody is more surprised than me”.
If you believe your girl is also out of your league then this song is made for you.
23. Devil Don’t Know
If you have recently been through a breakup with someone who you thought you were going to marry, this one is for you. This song is about the pain a person feels when they see their past lover with someone new and it feels like hell, one which even the devil doesn’t know.
Morgan is quite dramatic and clever with his wordplay and that is one of the many things his fans love about him.
24. Keith Whitley
Keith Whitley is a legendary American singer and songwriter who has paved the way for many other artists. Morgan Wallen paid tribute to him, expressing his gratitude for the talent of the singer who inspired Wallen to follow Whitley’s lead.
25. Had It
This track is a heartwrenching piece on a relationship that slowly loses its touch and fades out. The nights turn into arguments and the sweet love confessions turn into bitter words.
This song portrays this situation in a much more deeper and emotional way than I can convey. This is why you have to listen to the song to see for yourself what I’m talking about.
26. Had Me by Halftime
This track describes the strong attraction in a fleeting romance perfectly. It portrays the accurate intensity of feelings between two lovers at the beginning of a relationship.
Wallen is incredible at conveying deep emotions in his music and this song is a perfect example of that.
27. Dying Man
Dying Man is a very raw and honest song that shows the vulnerable side of Morgan Wallen. He sings about how he always thought he would leave this world like Elvis and Hank, meaning due to alcohol and drugs.
But then he met a woman and she saved him from this fate, she saved a “dying man”. It is a dark yet wholesome track at the same time.
28. Silverado For Sale
This song is about three things, a boy, his truck, and his love for a girl. The boy is ready to sell his truck to get the girl he loves an engagement ring.
He reminisces on all the happy moments he had with the girl in the truck, from singing songs to picking her up to go on dates. But now, the boy sings about how this truck will get him the prettiest girl in town and he has a “Silverado for sale”.
29. Neon Star (Country Boy Lullaby)
This country ballad by Morgan Wallen is about wishing on a neon star, that hangs at the back of the bar. What is the wish you ask? The girl he loves makes a “U’turn” and decides to come back and be with him.
The singer admits how he knows his little prayer is never answered yet he always sits and prays on the neon sign.
30. ‘98 Braves
If you love baseball and Atlanta Braves are your favorite team then you will love this song that pays tribute to them. this nostalgic track pays homage to the team after they came up short in the postseason.
We all know Morgan and his itch to mention love, and in this song, he cleverly compares the team’s loss to a past relationship. You can interpret the rest of the message of the song on your own by listening to it.
31. The Way I Talk
This is an iconic track from Morgan’s debut album, “If I Know Me”. if you are from the South and have that Southern accent that you are very proud of then this song is made just for you.
The Tennessee singer celebrates his Southern upbringing and accent, embracing his roots. The song gained a lot of recognition and became an anthem for people from the South in 2016.
32. Broadway Girls
This song by Lil Durk and Morgan Wallen, makes it an iconic mixture of hip-hop and country music. The song is about the two musicians going to a bar owned by another country music star, Jason Aldean.
The song describes Wallen’s night out with a girl he met in a bar. This song seems to be a playful banter between two friends and you should check it out to see the hype.
33. If I Know Me
This song is a different twist from the usual, romantic and heartbreak songs by the Tennessee singer. It’s about personal transformation and self-reflecting on who you are.
This song is from his debut album and I would suggest you check it out.
34. Ain’t That Some
The beat of this track is a lot more different than his usual songs, reminding me of some punk rock songs. The message behind it is open to many interpretations but in my opinion, it’s about Morgan finding his purpose in the South.
The song did relatively well on the charts.
35. HARDY
This track is a patriotic anthem that celebrates the hard-working men of America and their sacrifices to the red, white, and blue flag. This is a very clever song as the singer uses colors to explain different scenarios.
36. Bandaid on a Bullet Hole
If you desperately miss your ex and cannot get over her but you see that she got over you very easily, then this is your anthem for the next few weeks. The song describes how trying to forget her is like putting a bandaid on a bullet hole and that he doesn’t understand how she did it so quickly.
37. Sunrise
The feeling of missing and yearning for someone so badly that it is the first thing you do when you open your eyes in the morning and the last thing on your mind before you fall asleep, is described in this song.
Wallen talks about how he thinks about this girl and their failed relationship every minute of the day.
38. Me To Me
This song is different from his other sad, heartbroken songs as the singer is much more cocky and confident in this number. He urges the girl he likes, hinting at her that he is what she has been looking for.
If you also feel this way about someone then go ahead a make a bold, risky move by sending this song to them.
39. 180 (Lifestyle)
Morgan seems to love putting numbers in his song titles just as much as he loves his exes and alcohol. This track is about a Broadway girl who has now fallen in love with the Southern lifestyle.
The singer boasts that she went from heels to barefoot in a field and went from Mercedes to a four-by.
40. Wine Into Water
In this heartfelt song, Wallen uses a glass of wine as a means to mend a broken relationship, it is his apology. That sounds like a shitty apology but the glass of wine is used as a metaphor, the real meaning is apologizing with your actions not just words.
I hope I got you there with the plot twist and it was enough to convince you to stream this song.
41. Stand by Me
Yet another hit collaboration between Lil Durk and Morgan Wallen. This song is perfect for any person with abandonment issues or who needs reassurance every two minutes.
It conveys the fear of a person who is scared that their partner will leave them during tough times. They are also questioning the loyalty of the said person.

This song is a breath of fresh air from Wallen’s previous depressing songs about heartache. It’s about a deep, intimate connection between two lovers with one of them promising to take the other one for a spin around the world.
43. Still Goin’ Down
Morgan Wallen released this song in 2020 and it is a tribute to all the small-town Friday party nights. Beer, bonfire, and friends are the common themes in this song and I suggest you check this chill and laid-back song out.
The song went 2 times platinum in the USA.
44. This Bar

He instructs the flower salesperson to cut the thorns because his girl has already been in a lot of pain.

This song is about a girl who has left the singer and he is hoping to be the things she uses so that he can bring her back towards him. He wishes to be her car, radio, bible, and also a bartender.

This song is about how a heartbroken lover is trying to get over his ex and he uses whiskey to do that. He said he tried beer and tequila and his friends and family tried to cheer him up to but the only thing that actually helped was whiskey.
I really wouldn’t recommend Morgan’s song to anyone under the age of 21.
48. Talkin’ Tennesse

He feels many emotions such as happiness over the nice moments followed by pain and longing.
