Though its title may suggest a rowdy ode to wilder days, in reality, “If I Was A Drinkin’ Man” is a thoughtful ballad about how a man copes with his lover’s departure. The lyric says, “If I was a drinkin’ man like I used to be, I’d get myself a bottle, and you’d be history. You made me a thinkin’ man when you walked out. If I was a drinkin’ man, I ...
The song was released as the fourth single from his album You Gotta Love That. The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in April 1996. Here, McCoy proved that he’s one heck of a live performer as “You Gotta Love That” is a party song that you’d want to play on full blast during road trips.
“They’re Playin Our Song” is another hit of McCoy, it peaked at No. 3 on the U.S. Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and No. 8 on the RPM Country Tracks in Canada.
The song was first recorded by American country music artist Bryan White on his self-titled debut album in 1994 and was later cut by Neal McCoy. It was released as the second single from the album Neal McCoy and peaked No. 35 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
With lyrics that go, “Well, I used to curse the thunder. I used to run for cover when it came. But since I let it strike me, I never looked at lightning quite the same. Now I pray for rain,” this pop-accessible country song quickly made it through the heart of many country fans.

“No Doubt About It” is McCoy’s first No. 1 country hit in early 1994. The song sweetly says that the narrator and his woman belong together, “Like a hammer and a nail, socks, and shoes. We go hand in hand, like a rhythm and blues. What good is a man who hasn’t got a dream? ‘Bout as good as a car with no gasoline. You’re the one I’m dreaming of got ...
Of all his songs, this is the most personal to McCoy. “There’s a song called ‘For a Change’ that really speaks to my life,” he said. “When I first met my wife, I was a happy man for a change. I had been through a few relationships that didn’t work out, and that song just hit the nail on the head all those years ago. And I like to think that my wife...
