3. “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems” by Kenny Chesney
Sometimes, we just want to ditch our hectic work schedule and head to the beach, where the sun warms our skin, the sound of the ocean gently lapping against the shore is beyond comforting, and perhaps, the drinks are endless.
For You
Well, this is what Chesney’s 2003 hit song is all about, which kicked off the country singer’s pattern of recording and releasing beach-themed music that appeals to his personal love of island life.
The song’s title was actually a popular phrase in the 1970s, which can often be seen in restaurants and stores. “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems” was a response to the 1960s counterculture movement of hippies who adopted a casual style of life.
4. “Simple” by Florida Georgia Line
While it’s as simple as it can be, it’s enough to make you feel good as it tells the endearing story of a simple love between two people. The upbeat, folk-tinged love ballad epitomized the childish thrill of love’s bounds in a day and age when social media makes things overwhelming.
5. “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” by Brooks & Dunn
Country music was changed forever when two former solo artists teamed up to form what would become one of the genre’s most successful duos. “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” was their first No. 1 hit. Its popularity led to the revival of line dancing and kickstarted a craze that lasted for years.
Indeed, it’s definitely going to feel impossible not to smile after listening to these happy country songs.
