The Best Country Songs About Sons

Country singers love to sing songs about their families. We’ve already collected some of the best of them in our Holler playlist of The Best Country Songs About Family, and we’ve even got playlists of songs especially for moms, dads and daughters.

Now it’s the turn of the boys! Raising a son can be a challenge, but any parents of sons will agree that it's also one of the most rewarding experiences. These country songs about sons sum up all the ups and downs and wonders of having a son.

"That's my job, that's what I do, everything I do is because of you,” sings Conway Twitty in a loving explanation to his son of why he never needs to be afraid as long as his father is there for him, and Conway’s not the only one with words of wisdom to impart.

Whether you’re a brand-new parent or your sons have all grown up and left home, or even if you're a son yourself, you’re sure to find the perfect song to sum up just what your relationship means to you in our Holler playlist of The Best Country Songs About Sons.
