|''D-I-V-O-R-C-E''
|[[Tammy Wynette]]
|This sad song was a huge hit in 1968, sadly about a family breaking up (ironically Wynette's two most famous songs are this one and "Stand By Your Man").

|[[Lee Greenwood]]

|The [[Charlie Daniels]] Band
|Patriotism makes a comeback in response to the 1970's triple whammy of double-digit inflation, unemployment, and mortgage interest rates (giving rise to the misery index), along with the fallout from Watergate and the then on-going Iran hostage crisis and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
|Eleven
|Classic/Country
|''Simple Man''
|[[Charlie Daniels]]
|A song about how drugs and poor politics are a result of people putting their Bibles down. Also a strongly pro death penalty song, though it does hint at on vigilante-style justice.
|Twelve
|Classic/Country/Rock
|[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=6547 ''The Devil Went Down To Georgia'']
|[[Charlie Daniels]]
|A deeper message here, variant on "deal with the devil" stories found in literature (such as Daniels explains''The Devil and Daniel Webster''); in this case, Johnny actually outplays the devil and defeats him. Does contain, in some versions, an expletive.
