What's The Saddest Country Music Song Ever Made? People Have Clear Answer

What's the saddest country song ever made?

I recently wrote about the song "David" by Cody Jinks, and in my opinion, it's the saddest country song ever released. It tells the tragic story of two friends who go separate ways in life.

It's a brutal and heartbreaking ballad.

After writing about "David," I had many OutKick readers email me (always feel free to reach out at David.Hookstead@outkick.com) saying that they had different choices.

As a man who loves a great debate, I decided to throw the question out on X for people to discuss.

There were a ton of answers, and you can dive into all the replies on X. I've compiled the most popular answers for the greatest sad country songs for everyone to enjoy.
