Valentine's Day is a beautiful day for all the romantics out there. All the couples take to the streets for their intimate dinners, their tender displays of affection, love on full display. Chocolates, candles, plenty of PDA at the movies, for those helplessly in love, they mark February 14th on their calendars like clockwork.

However, there are plenty who either just lost their flames or are just plain lonely and miserable as single people. For one day out of the year, they have to bear through the rest of the world thriving in their love lives. Meanwhile, you're spending the day all alone. You need a soundtrack for this kind of situation. Wide Open Country has you covered with four country songs to play as you battle the Valentine's Day blues.
Four Country Songs for The Single and Lonely on Valentine's Day
Brooks & Dunn- "Neon Moon"
Every bar down south will surely blast this song out of their speakers on Valentine's Day. There's going to be a lot of drunk people trying to either hook up or sob under that Neon Moon tonight. They're all trying to evade that crushing feeling in their chest that the love of their lives aren't going to be with them.
Morgan Wallen & Eric Church- "Man Made a Bar"
The spiritual successor to "Neon Moon," I expect Morgan Wallen's "Man Made a Bar" to echo out of every old Ford pickup this Valentine's Day. Country music look at the local hometown bar like a beacon of hope in the worst moments of our lives. It only serves as second place to heaven above. To drink your sorrows away is the best way to forget the fact that you don't have a love to call your own. On a day like this, no one can fault you too much for picking up the bottle and sobbing a little bit.
Tracy Lawrence- "Can't Break It To My Heart"
Denial is a hell of a face to go through when battling a heartache. That sort of delusion is primed for Valentine's Day. Tracy Lawrence understands this sort of aching pain on "Can't Break It to My Heart." His ol' lady leaves him so down bad that even though he knows it's over, he can't help but feel like there has to be a way to fix things. Yearning is powerful stuff on Valentine's and Tracy feeds that flame all too well.
George Strait- "All My Exes Live in Texas"
Some people don't want to mope around on Valentine's Day. We have every other day to grapple with that lonely, isolating feeling. Why not have a laugh with a George Strait classic? Surely, your love life can't be much worse than his. He's an outlaw in Texas and can only visit via transcendental meditation. Unless the law is also looking for you on the day of romance, you're doing a hell of a lot better than he is on that song.
