The CDC recommends rinsing your hands, scrubbing with soap for at least 20 seconds, and then rising off before drying. Turns out 20 seconds is way, way longer than you think. People suggest singing common songs to help keep the time. The “Happy Birthday” song or the “ABC’s” will surely annoy the shit out of you so I think you should try these Country and Texas-based songs, all at least 20-seconds long. Enjoy! 

Country Songs to wash your hands to | Flu Prevention

All My Ex’s Live in Texas
George Strait
All my ex’s live in Texas
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in Texas
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Luckenbach Texas
Waylon Jennings
Let’s go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we’re livin’
Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams’ pain songs and
Newberry’s train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain’t nobody feelin’ no pain

God Blessed Texas
Little Texas
God blessed Texas
With His own hand
Brought down angels from the promised land
Gave ’em a place where they could dance
If you want to see heaven, brother, here’s you chance
I’ve been sent to spread the message
God blessed Texas.

The Gambler
Kenny Rogers
You’ve got to know when to hold ’em
Know when to fold ’em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you’re sittin’ at the table
There’ll be time enough for countin’
When the dealin’s done

If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band)
Alabama
If you’re gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot,
But not for “Louisiana man”
So rosin up that bow for “faded love”
And let’s all dance
If you’re gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band

Family Tradition
Hank Williams Jr.
Hank Why do you drink?
Hank why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over
Everybody makes my prediction
So if I get stoned, I’m just carrying on
An old family tradition

Achy Breaky Heart
Billy Ray Cyrus
But don’t tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don’t think he’d understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Man! I Feel Like A Woman!
Shania Twain
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy, forget I’m a lady
Men’s shirts, short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild yeah, doin’ it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action, feel the attraction
Color my hair, do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I want to be free yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

Deep in the Heart of Texas
Bing Crosby
The stars at night, are big and bright,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
The prairie sky is wide and high,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The sage in bloom is like perfume,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
Reminds me of, the one I love,
Deep in the heart of Texas.

Wagon Wheel
Darius Rucker
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me
