1. “The Long Way,” Brett Eldredge

“Take me the long way around your town
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
I want the secrets you keep, the shine underneath
Of the diamond I think I just found
Take me the long way around
I’d love to see just where your daddy met your momma
Your hand-me-down ’99 Impala
Show me the field you danced in Clover
The harvest in October
When the leaves fall from the sky just like a Sunday drive.”

2. “Unapologetically,” Kelsea Ballerini

“And I’m unapologetically in love
And I’m so unapologetically in love

From the second that I started falling
And it don’t even phase me
When they call me crazy
I’m unapologetically in love.”

3. “Unforgettable,” Thomas Rhett

“It was the 14th of October
And that t-shirt off your shoulder
I was drunk, said I was sober
And you said “yeah, right”
We were talkin’ for a minute
Then some guy tried to cut in
You took my hand and we pretended
Like I was your guy
Oh, and I tried to guess your middle name
For thirty minutes bet we played that game
That mango-rita you were drinkin’
And that Coldplay song that you were singin’
And I bet right now you’re probably thinkin’
That it’s crazy I remember every detail, but I do
From your blue jeans to your shoes
Girl, that night was just like you
Unforgettable.”
