Here's my list of some of country music's best breakup songs. Usually, when we go through a breakup, the first thing we do is look for a song to get us through it. And, as we say in the south, a sad song that we can wallow around in as we feel the pain. Ha!

My all-time favorite is George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her Today." I've played that song a couple of thousand times over a few good exes.

What's yours?

Keith Urban: Tonight I Wanna To Cry

Little Big Town: Shut Up Train

Miranda Lambert: Mama's Broken Heart

Kenny Chesney: I Can't Go There

Sam Hunt: Break Up In A Small Town

Blake Shelton: Goodbye Time

Blake did a great job on this old Conway Twitty tune!

Cole Swindell: Ain't Worth The Whiskey

George Jones: He Stopped Loving Her Today

Carly Pearce: What He Didn't Do

Dierks Bentley: Drunk On A Plane
