It's hard to pick just one but if I absolutely had to it would be Digging up Bones:

This is Where you Post your Favorite Randy Travis Song
- Thread starter Falselogic
- Start date
This thread, it was made for me. Diggin' Up Bones is the oldest song that I can remember singing. It must have played in the radio for some car trip (my parents exclusively listen to country) and I just seized on it for whatever reason, because I considered it to be my favourite song as a young child, and constantly asked my parents to play it. Of course, I had no idea what it was actually about, and derived great irony from it in the wake of my divorce.
I can sing the entire song from memory, including back-up vocals, and that's far from the only Randy Travis song that that's true of (it might be true of every song on his Storms of Life album). I have multiple Randy Travis cassettes on my bed-stand, next to the clock radio. (That was one of the things I used to mention in my online dating profiles under the "two truths and a lie" section.) Since you already stole my actual favourite, I'll go with another that I adore, which also had maximum irony value later in life for me:
Other faves include:

Forever and Ever, Amen would be my #2. So good!
Same. I had no idea what the song was about. During my separation and then divorce there were many a times I was doing exactly what the song is about. I think it was sometime near the end of my mourning period right before I started going back out, I was up late with insomnia just pursuing old songs on Youtube and this came up and when I listened to it for the first time as an adult it was like a punch in the gut.
Ayuuuuuuup.
Either Always & Forever or No Holdin' Back was the first casette I got when I got my own tape player, and the other followed quickly. One I like that I've not seen mentioned is Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart.
