Ghost Riders in the Sky has some of the most evocative lyrics ever:
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he moved along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed steers he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard
And he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-yay
Yippie-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on, hear their cry
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul from hell a-riding on our range
Then, cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Lastly I'll mention one that isn't exactly country western, but the band sure is with the guitar work and peddle steel. Damn!

"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
I say that this is the best ever performance of this song, only because it was Alan's sendoff for George.
See below for a classic George Jones version.

I feel this is somewhat a country song but not really but this is such a beautiful song I first heard on Guiding Light years ago.

Marc Broussard-Hope For Me YetOh, it HAS to be this one...
https://www.youtube.com/embed/UVvojl4JrDsNone, definitely not a fan of goat roping music.
Blake Shelton has some good ones, Country Boy. It’s hard to say, lots of them out there but I don’t listen to that much country music
So many good ones. I think that Willie Nelson 's Blue Eyes Crying in the rain.
Last country song I like was "May the Bird of Paradise Fly up Your Nose" by Little Jimmy Dickens. Not a fan of country anyways.
One of my favorites:
