While the genre can take you on a full rollercoaster ride of emotions, there are also those tracks that are full of fun and humor – just plain funny! So, we’ve gathered some of the crankiest lyrics of all time to make you smile or perhaps laugh out loud!

1. “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty

The beloved country duo of the ‘70s definitely knows how to poke fun at marital troubles and each other through one of the funniest country songs of all time. “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” tells the tale of two old lovebirds throwing major shade on each other that would be just plain mean, and then there are the ugly children they must share. Well, on the brighter side, the couple chose to stick with each other.

2. “Way Too Pretty for Prison” by Miranda Lambert and Maren Morris

Miranda Lambert and Maren Morris joined forces together for a murderous revenge fantasy against a cheating partner. However, the country superstars chose to behave, afraid that they might end up in jail. The big problem is that “the state won’t pay for lash extensions” and “that lack of waxing situation” inside the prison. 

3. “When It Rains It Pours” by Luke Combs

Perhaps you’ve known Luke Combs as the man behind some of the most soulful ballads in today’s country music, but did you know one of his first hits was this comedic song “When it Rains it Pours, about how a man’s luck started changing for the better the moment his girlfriend walked out on him?

4. “Did I Shave My Legs for This?” by Deana Carter

This is definitely one of the most humorous 90s country songs that describes marriage! Deana Carter finds herself fantasizing about a luxurious lifestyle with her husband only to come home to a deteriorating mobile home where she halfheartedly prepares supper for him as he watches television and drinks up his beer – absolutely not showing any sympathy towards her.

5. “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song)” by Brad Paisley

The country superstar brought some laughs with this song he had written long before he even had a record deal. The song tells the tale of a man whose lover has threatened to leave him if he goes fishing instead of staying home with her. 

And yes, you got it right! Our man has chosen to go fishing, saying he will “miss her when [he gets] home” from the lakeshore.

6. “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” by George Strait

George Strait shows his funny side in this late-1980s song, “All My Ex’s Live in Texas,” where he humorously sings about why a man can no longer visit the Lone Star State. And it’s all because of a string of failed relationships with women in that state, and they all ended pretty terribly. 

7. “Big Green Tractor” by Jason Aldean

Though fans find the song as a funny one, Jason Aldean thought of it as romantic. It tells the tale of a man who asks his lover if she wants to go to town with him, or he could instead take her for a ride “on [his] big green tractor.”

8. “Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart” by Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash had always shown his silly side through his songs such as “Everybody Loves a Nut,” and definitely with “A Boy Named Sue.” But his real crowning achievement as a comedian is definitely this love song expressing the emotion of heartbreak.

9. “Like My Dog” by Billy Currington

Billy Currington sings about his judgmental girlfriend by listing off several different things that his pet dog will never do, wishing his lover to “love [him] like [his] dog does.”

10. “I Don’t Even Know Your Name” by Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson revealed that the song was written as a joke requested by some of his family members, and it turned out to be a hilarious one with the most ridiculous stories in country music. It tells the tale of a man who ended up marrying a waitress after one wasted night, and the rest was pretty awkward.
