Ranking Country Songs Based on How Obsessed They Are With Their Trucks

Country songs and trucks go hand in hand. Or, perhaps, hand in gear shift? However way you want to describe it, trucks are a huge part of the country aesthetic. Here, I’m going to rank a selection of songs about trucks based on how obsessive they are, from “mildly interested” to “having dreams about trucks.”

Ranking Country Songs About Trucks

7. “Truck Yeah” — Tim McGraw

“Truck Yeah” by Tim McGraw is your typical country ode to a hard-working Friday, rowdy Saturday, and a worshipful Sunday morning. It’s an exploration of a country weekend: picking up girls, having a beer, and driving around in your truck. A solid anthem, but not too heavy on the truck obsession. “Truck Yeah” is more about the country lifestyle than anything.

6. “Somethin’ Bout A Truck” — Kip Moore

In a similar fashion to “Truck Yeah,” Kip Moore’s “Somethin’ Bout A Truck” is a celebration of the lifestyle. It’s about beer, girls, late Saturday nights, drunk skinny dipping, and parking your truck in a field for a romantic night. “Somethin’ Bout A Truck” is what every rural teenage boy dreams about doing when they get their first truck. Still, it’s not as obsessively about trucks as some of the other entries.

5. “Boy Gets A Truck” — Keith Urban

Speaking of rural country boys getting their first trucks, Keith Urban tapped into that rite of passage with his song “Boy Gets A Truck.” It does exactly what it says on the tin, exploring the love that boys have for their trucks mostly because of what the trucks will bring them: love, in the form of a rural country girl.

4. “My Truck” — Breland

Here’s where we get into the more obsessive side of truck ownership in country music. Breland blended hip-hop and country for this catchy track, even bringing Sam Hunt in on a remix, but overall he really understood the importance of the truck as a symbol of country music itself. Essentially, says Breland, you can diss me all you like, but if you touch my truck, it’s over for you.

3. “That Old Truck” — Thomas Rhett

In “That Old Truck,” Thomas Rhett goes introspective, painting a picture of a beat up hand-me-down truck that he drove into the ground, but not before growing up and becoming a man. He makes this truck out to be his first love, the place where he had all his firsts, and where he learned about himself. It’s a little bit obsessive, but maybe you have to be a country boy to really get it.

2. “If It Wasn’t For Trucks” — Riley Green

“If It Wasn’t For Trucks” is Riley Green’s loving ode to trucks, and it’s straight forward with no frills or embellishments. Really, he asks, what would we all do without trucks? Would we even exist? If a country boy has no truck, is he even a country boy?

1. “Look At My Truck” — Chase Rice

Finally, Chase Rice wants us to look at his truck. In this country song, he describes his truck in painstakingly obsessive detail, letting everyone know that if you want to know Chase Rice, just take a look at the truck sitting in the yard. This is ideally the obsessive truck song of all obsessive truck songs, but I’m sure another will come along any day now that blows this one out of the water.
