Blige, Natasha Bedingfield, Mariah Carey and Rihanna. It will be released to radio and available to purchase exclusively on iTunes beginning September 2.

Country's Best Cheating Songs: No. 20

Posted Aug 15th 2008 2:00PM by Brian Mansfield
Filed under: Countdown, Songs

If Will Rogers had been a country fan, he'd probably have amended one of his most famous quips to say that nothing is certain but death, taxes and cheating songs. Just like trains and booze, songs about sleeping around have long been a staple of country music. The Boot counts down infidelity's best.

'Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under' --Shania Twain (1995)

Wandering Words: "Don't act so blue/I know I'm not the only girl you run to"

She presses her paramour for details about his multiple trysts, but the affairs don't seem to bother her as much as his flaunting them. A coquettish Twain, whose real-life husband was recently accused of cheating, seems to relish telling this guy off, as if to prove he never meant that much to her, either.

'The Thunder Rolls'
-- Garth Brooks (1991)

Wandering Words: "The thunder rolls and the lightning strikes/Another love grows cold on a sleepless night."

Bad weather's moving in, which is what the woman hopes is keeping her husband from driving home on a late night. The song never says what she does when he finally shows up smelling of strange perfume. But in the video, famously banned by CMT, she blows the guy away.

'Whoever's in New England'
--Reba McEntire (1986)

Wandering Words: "You'll always have a place to go when whoever's in New England's through with you."

Reba's no dummy. She's got a pretty good idea the business her man has in Boston is of the personal variety. But Reba takes the Tammy Wynette tack and decides to stand by her man. Or at least she gives him that option -- packing his bags but telling him he's welcome back home.

'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town' --Kenny Rogers (1969)

Wandering Words: "If I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground."

Ruby may be the most cold-hearted woman in country music -- not only cheating on a paralyzed war vet but also forcing him to watch as she prepares for her dates. The song's cuckold merely dreams of shooting his unfaithful mate, but apparently the man whom writer Mel Tillis based the song on actually did.

'When I Think About Cheatin''
--Gretchen Wilson (2005)

Wandering Words: "When I think about cheatin', I just think about you leavin'."

Wilson may not have done the deed yet, but she's clearly thinking about it. She admits that strangers tempt her, and she let one guy buy her champagne and whisper in her ear before ditching him on the dance floor. Maybe she's never crossed the line, but she likes getting close.

'The Window Up Above'
--George Jones (1961)

Wandering Words: "I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong."

In the 'Rear Window' of country songs, the singer witnesses everything: the lovers' embrace, the ardent whispers. As he confronts his wife, he tries to maintain control, but his voice betrays his pain. The background vocals become a funeral choir as his marriage dies before his eyes.
