Tim McGraw Reveals His Favorite Songs To Sing
Tim McGraw recently revealed that there really isn’t a song of his that he is sick of singing live. He said there might be nights where his voice is a little tired, and he’s leery of singing certain songs because he’s not sure if he’ll be able to hit the high notes, but that’s the only time he wishes he didn’t have to sing certain songs. But when it comes to his favorite songs to sing live, he does have a few.
Tim told us, “It changes all the time. I think every artist will tell you when you get a chance to play your new stuff, that’s always fun. You look forward to that. The problem is you only have room to play a couple of new songs because during the show you might have a chance to play 20 songs. And so, the hardest thing to do is put together a set list, ’cause you’re not gonna get everybody’s favorite songs sometimes, or most of the time.”
He added, “And so, you just try to create an environment that everybody’s having fun in and everybody enjoys it. You know, ‘Live Like You Were Dying’ is always something that I don’t think I could ever get away from performing live and not doing, so I love doing that one. ‘Cowboy In Me’ is one I always enjoy singing live. And ‘(Where the) Green Grass Grows’ has always been one of my favorites live.”

McGraw just recently celebrated the 20th Anniversary of his song “Live Like You Were Dying.” He posted some images from the time period he released the song on his Instagram. He wrote in the caption, “Still can’t believe we’re celebrating 20 years of “Live Like You Were Dying.” It’s been an honor to be the messenger for this song, and thank you to all the fans for being on this journey with me.”
Many fans reacted to the post, including one fan who wrote, “One of my absolute favorite songs ever!.” Another fan commented, “My brother Bob, a veteran, passed away on July 5th from complications due to cancer. He found out he was sick in May and was gone in July, but the whole time his mantra was ‘Live Like You Were Dying.’ He’d say to me, ‘You’ve got to Tim McGraw, he gets so much out of life!’. He was right. Thank you for this song and so many others!” One more fan said, “Congratulations, I love your songs.”
