Lainey Wilson Songs — The 10 Best Tracks By the 'Yellowstone' Country Star
Although Lainey Wilson may have risen to fame for her role on the show Yellowstone, the Louisiana born, 32-year-old songstress had been putting in the work for years before her big break came along. Now, with her upcoming album titled Whirlwind set to release on August 23, let’s take a look at some of the most popular songs in her catalog. Do you agree with our ranking?
10. “Atta Girl” (2022)
Wilson shares a few words of encouragement to a girl having recently gone through a breakup as if she were a friend you’d turn to for a pep talk.

On this fun country track, the songstress explains that she isn’t ashamed of who she is and the things that make her her.
8. “Rolling Stone” (2021)

7. “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” (2022)
On “Wildflowers and Wild Horses,” Wilson reflects on her roots as a hardworking woman from Louisiana.
“I'm five generations of blazing a trail/Through barbed wire valleys and overgrown dells/I'm barefoot and bareback and born tough as nails/Whoa, whoa, whoa/I'm four-fifths of reckless and one-fifth of jack/I push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracks/Yeah, my kinda crazy's still running its courses with/Wildflowers and wild horses.”

6. “Workin’ Overtime” (2018)
On this track, Wilson sings about living on the edge and taking risks in life, while giving credit to her guardian angels who are looking out for her and “workin’ overtime.”
5. “wait in the truck” (2023)
While yes, this song is technically by HARDY featuring Lainey Wilson, it was a win for the both of them. It paints a clear picture of a woman abused by her partner and the man who comes to her aid, putting an end to it.
4. “Dirty Looks” (2021)
On “Dirty Looks,” Wilson meets her man at a bar at the end of a long day — and their lovey PDA is enough to earn them a few judging glances from the other patrons. Simultaneously, she sings about how the dirt from a long day of work looks rather fitting on him.
3. “Watermelon Moonshine” (2022)
This lighthearted country track recalls the bliss of young love in the summertime, in which Wilson looks back on fond memories with her first love, drinking none other than watermelon moonshine before they were old enough.
2. “Things a Man Oughta Know” (2021)
Lainey begins the song by listing things she can do that a man traditionally is expected to know how to do, like change a tire or catch a fish, before going into the deeper things she would hope a man could get a grip on, like “How to know when it's love/How to stay when it's tough/How to know you're messin' up a good thing/And how to fix it 'fore it's too late.”
1. “Heart Like a Truck” (2022)
“Heart Like a Truck” not only showcases the songstress’ vocals, but lyrically, it’s truly a winner. On the track, Wilson compares her heart and soul to a truck, saying much like the vehicle, she has a desire to keep moving and despite the journey and roads it’s gone down, it’s still just as good.
“I got a heart like a truck/It's been drug through the mud/Runs on dreams and gasoline/And that ole highway holds the key/It's got a lead foot down when it's leaving/Lord knows it's taken a hell of a beating/A little bit of love is all that it's needing/But it's good as it is tough/I got a heart like a truck.”
