Easiest way for me to cry is to listen to Tumble in the Wind. It's probably one of my favorite songs, but you can honestly hear the toll life took on him in his voice especially when you compare it to the way he sounded when he was younger. https://youtu.be/A_4N05coN2g

Also, I've really gotten into Yellow Walls lately. Never really liked it the first time I heard it several years ago, but heard it again a few months back and it stuck with me for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99LAONJ1c_0

Yeah that was very touching. My tearjerker is Red Dirt Girl, I don't even know how she can sing it without crying.

Never heard it before, but just listened to it and yeah, I'm not crying you're crying!

My mom grew up in the town she sings about. Spent some time around there a few years ago. Not much has changed since she wrote that.
