13. Last Dollar (Fly Away)
“The first single “Last Dollar (Fly Away)” was a number 1 for Tim but that was no surprise. His little girls sing on the very last part of the song and it sounds really cute.”
12. Let It Go
“The song rocks and the guitar work by Darran Smith at the end is creative and a nice thing to hear in a genre that relies so much on “cookie cutter” arrangements. The songs’ message of redemption and moving forward feels good to sing because of its take that/fist pumping tone.”
11. Suspicions
“This one is a curve ball. I never thought I would hear and Eddie Rabbit song on a McGraw album, but here it is. Tim has been doing one of these funk/blues songs the last few records and I usually don’t like them very much, but this one is different somehow. This song is fun for me because my wife is a hottie like in the song and while I would never have a suspicion about her, the line “when I go out to a party with you, you always turn every head in the room. I just know what’s on every man’s mind” makes me smile because it reminds me of her. Another very sexy song.”
10. Put Your Lovin’ on Me
“Awesome song; sonically incredible throughout with piercing lyrics. It’s a “you’re a gorgeous woman and I’m a strong-but-vulnerable man” kind of song that is simple, but works because it conveys so much with so little…..very sexy.”

9. Between the River and Me
“Between the River and Me” is a great story song that you feel just a bit guilty for liking, given the subject matter and the message. He sings it with such intensity that it is frighteningly believable!”
8. I Need You
“Those who are sick of Tim/Faith duets (I probably fit into that category), please don’t kill me, but this should be a single as it has “monster hit” written all over it and is too well written to not let the whole world hear it. Different from their prior efforts in all the good ways….primarily because for some reason you don’t immediately think of their relationship when you hear it…you think of yours.”
7. Shotgun Rider
“This is quickly is becoming my favorite on the CD. It is so plainspoken, everyman in the writing and Tim’ voice. It paints a simple, real life picture of a family. A man trying to make better for his family and struggling with all the loneliness and guilt of not being there as much as he likes in that struggle to make better for his family.”
6. I’m Workin’
“A very emotional song. I am an aspiring law enforcement officer so the subject of this one really hits home. From a broader perspective the song is about our busy lives in general and how, no matter how bad it seems, we should be thankful for what we do have. When Tim sings “I know I couldn’t do it if you weren’t there….there would be no home to come home to, no reason to care” I just crumple.”

5. Whiskey and You
“Whenever a song title like this makes you think Tim is going to regress to some stereotypical country fare, he surprises with something a little deeper and better executed than normal. No exception here…the song is hard to explain, but it’s got nice hooks-well done and immediately likeable.”
4. Kristofferson
“A Tim McGraw album that borders on unlistenable, even trying to give it my full attention it slipped away into being little more than background noise. I was disapointed to say the least after the last album was so good, I played it again and decided I wasn’t wrong, this album was a guy”
3. Nothin’ to Die For
“This song is specifically about a man caught up in alcoholism. More broadly: ever felt like, for all the great things in your life, you just can’t take much more? That’s this song. The word that comes to mind with this song is “powerful”. There is a surprise at the end I won’t spoil, but suffice to say when Tim sings “and the in-box, out-box, box you in and the money you make ain’t worth the time you spend to make your pay…doctor says the numbers don’t lie…yeah the graveyard is full of those who didn’t have the time to die” the message hits home that sometimes those “big deals” in life, maybe aren’t such a big deal after all.”
2. Train #10
“What a cool song!!! We have all been standing at a crossroad in our lives where we want to do something but can’t seem to do it? That is this song. Get past the first chorus and the odd title finally makes sense too. Well crafted lyrics and rocking music make it a joy to listen to and the line about a procrastinator making up his mind to procrastinate more makes me smile every time. Tim co-wrote this one and he should be very proud (Another potential single).”
1. Comin’ Home
“The first time I heard this songs’ opening the name “John Denver” jumped into my head. This is unlike anything Tim has recorded before. And I love it. A really sweet song that just feels good; you feel like you’re coming home as you listen to it. The whole song is basically a big metaphor and, while songs like this usually come off cheesy, this one does not. I love the line in the chorus that goes “Then I looked at you and knew I never knew nothin’ and it broke this heart of stone. It’s a lot like comin’ home”.
