Songs to Perk Up The 5 Most Miserable Cities in America [WATCH]

According to a recent Gallup well-being poll, there are 11 cities in the United States with the lowest "Overall Well-Being" scores. The poll takes multiple factors into consideration for scoring purposes: how many adults have a college degree, how many adult smokers live there, what the median household income is and how many adults have been diagnosed with depression.

While these 5 great songs won't give you a college education, make you quit smoking or bump up your income if you live in one of these cities, they can at least make you smile...

1. The metropolitan area of Huntington, West Virginia, Ashland, Kentucky; and Ironton, Ohio came in at #1 of the most unhappy places to live. While Brad Paisley hails from Glen Dale, West Virginia, which is 177 miles away from Huntington. Perhaps his song, "I Can't Change The World," can remind residents that even if you can't change things in your world, you can find enjoyment in it.
   
2. Troy Gentry, half of the duo of Montgomery Gentry, was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, which is 119 miles from Ashland. Their "Titty's Beer," they say will "get you grinnin' ear to ear."
   
3. Dwight Yoakam lived 118 miles from Ironton for years. Perhaps he was singing "Thinking About Leaving" to those who live in Ironton, but the residents, like Yoakam, thought about long enough to change their minds.
   
4. Born in Sumter, South Carolina, Lee Brice would have only had to travel 141 miles to get to Spartanburg, which came in at #4 on the list. If the people of Spartanburg are as unhappy as the poll says they are, then meeting a "Woman Like You" probably wouldn't have happened there.
   
5. Obviously, Hickory, North Carolina was a much different place when Eric Church lived there than it is now. Otherwise, he would have probably never recorded "Give Me Back My Hometown."
