10. Oh Love
“A beautiful ballad is the track, “Oh Love”, sung with the help of American Idol winner Carrie Underwood, where she plays the woman in the love relationship.”
9. If Love Was a Plane
” A song with a very creative title, “If Love Was A Plane” is just as clever in its lyrics and gives the statistics of love’s “failure rate” and compares it to airplane “flight failure”, and states that people would avoid falling in love if the consequences were similar to a plane crash and they knew the odds that their love would fail (crash).”
8. All I Wanted Was a Car
“The album begins with “All I Wanted Was A Car”, a contemporary style song telling the story of every teenage boy’s dream of owning a machine that brings fun (and maybe friends and dates).”

7. Bigger Fish to Fry
“Bigger Fish To Fry” has a Western Swing rhythm and would make a great party song or dance song. The lyrics here imply that the sins of smoking, drinking too much, cussing, laughing at dirty jokes, and causing trouble at the bar might disappoint parents but would not be noticed by the devil, for there are many worse things that people do, that would attract the devil’s attention.”
6. Better Than This
“Better than This” is a great song – an uptempo number about where Brad and his mates are camping out with a fire and a few beers, but insists that camping out is good, but if a coach full of “really good lookin’ women” stopped by, or if Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard came to visit then it would be a lot better.”
5. Some Mistakes
“Some Mistakes”, has a brisk drum beat, with guitars and banjo sounds. The singer notes that some forms of improper behavior, such as driving too fast, are so much fun (note the mention of trying to shift into 5th gear), that you should do them while you are still young, before you start thinking like your parents.”

4. Ticks
“The first of his great hits from this album is “Ticks”, the 2nd track on the disc and a recent #1 hit on Billboard Magazine’s Country Music Singles chart. It begins with a high-energy thumping with fuzzy guitar sounds, and the lyrics present a humorous twist of a boy searching a girl’s body for tick infestation after they have been romping in the country fields.”
3. I’m Still a Guy
“I’m Still A Guy” is another good song about how a man’s personality doesn’t change when he is in a relationship There is a lot of truth in this song, and that is why I like it so much.”
2. Online
“Online”, the 3rd track on this disc, is currently enjoying frequent radio airplay and is climbing up the Billboard music chart. In this modern, lively county hit, a young man shows how he distorts his stats and profile in the cyberworld through a popular networking website, so he can attract new girlfriends.”
1. Letter to Me
“In “Letter To Me”, a soft, more traditional country sound, a man writes a letter to his 17-year-old self, telling him not to despair over the unpleasant things during that time of his life (breakup with girlfriend, trouble with schoolwork), and reminding him that things will get better in the future.”
