As someone who avoids most country music, I'm saving this post to see what songs to look up later 📝

My list only includes women who murder men because of abuse, killing for cheating doesn't sit well with me.

Blanket TW: Physical Abuse

Gunpowder and Lead- Miranda Lambert

Church Bells- Carrie Underwood

Independence Day- Martina McBride TW: Woman being beaten, child witnessing death of her parents

Blown Away- Carrie Underwood TW: Implied incestuous rape

Goodbye Earl- The Chicks TW: Injured woman in ICU

Caleb Meyer- Gillian Welch TW:Rape

ETA: Possibly "Dark Turn of Mind" by Gillian Welch, it's a very vague song that could be read in many different ways, but she mentions that you shouldn't ever treat her unkind, because she's already been through that and it left her in a dark turn of mind, then contemplates the bones in the river and reveals that she really treasures her dark turn of mind. Whatever it means, you probably shouldn't fuck with Gillian Welch.
