It’s Springsteen’s Birthday-Here Are A Few Country Songs That Shout Out The Boss
Country music and Bruce Springsteen, they just go together. He is the quintessential singer/songwriter and loves a story song, so it only makes sense that country artists gravitate to the Boss. They just get him.
There have been quite a few songs by country artists over the years that mention Springsteen.
Let’s take a look:
- 1. SPRINGSTEEN by Eric Church
It’s no secret that Eric is a fan, and in 2012 he showed his appreciation for the icon with a song about a teenage love story…
“Funny how a melody sounds like a memory… Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night”
- 2. IT’S AMERICA by Rodney Atkins
“It’s a high school prom, it’s a Springsteen song, it’s a ride in a Chevrolet/It’s a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids sellin’ lemonade/It’s cities and farms, it’s open arms, one nation under God/It’s America.”
- 3. HELL YEAH by Montgomery Gentry
In the summer of 2003 the popular duo took this one top 5
“She yells out to the band
Know any Bruce Springsteen
Then she jumps up on the bar
And she, and she starts to scream”
- 4. DAVID NAIL- Sound of a Million Dreams
Phil Vassar wrote this 2011 gem with the Bruce reference, ““My 18th summer I was a cocky up-and-comer/Crankin’ up ‘Born to Run’ ”
- 5. KENNY CHESNEY- “American Kids
The first single released from Kenny’s 2014 Big Revival
“We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby…Born in the USA”
- 6. LADY A- “Stars Tonight”
“Girls in their heels and a skinny pair of blue jeans/Boys in black pearl buttons looking just like Springsteen.”
