I've seen lists of the top songs of all time, top love songs, top cheatin' songs, and so on...but, how bout the top opening country music lyrics of all time? 

The folks at The Boot have put together a list of the top 20 opening country music lines of all-time.   Lists like these are done for two major reasons - good reading and to open up channels of conversation on the topic.
