I am not a BIG follower of country music so I can only comment generally - I only know the more popular old country music and know nothing of the modern country scene.

The best songs can have a little bit of nostalgia or have a slightly regretful tone or lyric inside the tune but it MUST still have a (at least a little) tinge of hope in it as well).
This is the reason many years (decades) after the Country Road (John Denver) became a hit, many people still like the song. It is good song (country or not). Telling the story of a country boy that had travelled far from home and is either attempting to get home again or dreaming that he is heading home again. You can even hear the regret (or nostalgia) in part of the tune of the song. The verses seem like a slow, long car ride then gives the feeling of boredom or disappointment then it builds to the chorus - filled with hope and expectation (with higher notes). But the chorus ends with a more sombre tone of quiet hope and calm.
Hope this helps. This is a popular country song that I like - I don’t expect you to like it. But if you don’t like it look for a reason why the song is good - not just because the tune is “nice”. The relative niceness of the tune will diminish and fade. A good song is anchored in something more - it expresses what is in many peoples’ hearts.
