This lyric is about the craziness of living in the world today. No one has time for anybody anymore, everybody's just moving at such a fast Pace. Simple pleasures are no longer simple, everything is a fight, it's just an arduous task to get through a day. All the distractions, the traffic on the roads, and the angry people behind the wheel. There's so much distraction, so much temptation, and so much aggravation. It's really hard to take, and it won't be long before the world just blows up totally. There's so many wars and so much hate I'm not sure how much longer this can last.

This lyric is about the mountains. I'm an avid hiker, and a professional mountain guide. Nowhere have I ever found the peace of mind that I do when I go up to the mountains. It's been such a spiritual and ultimate physical experience for me. To become one with nature, just to become one with the Earth. Someday I'm going to live up in the mountains, and get away from all the hustle and bustle. There's just too much bad news, bad politics, and aggravation living in populated areas. The mountains are my home for feeling safe, the mountains are a place where I feel needed, the mountains are placed that gives back, and I can give back to nature as well.

This lyric is about a relationship that went wrong. At first the person says to the other person please don't ever leave me and they're reassured that they never will. They both believe they'll always be together. But then one day she decides to leave and he's left alone. He can't believe it, and it's beside himself. He loves her so much, and we'll do anything to get her back. All he wants is another shot.

This lyric is about the way I used to be when I was younger and when I was using drugs and alcohol. I was so self-centered, narcissistic, it had really no sense of what other people were thinking or feeling. And quite frankly I didn't care. It was a very lonely existence. Today, I've gotten help and understand that it's not all about me. But this lyric is basically focused on the self-centeredness that I showed before I got sober.

This song describes the hopes and dreams of a poor cotton picker in the Southern United States. He picks cotton by day and picks on his guitar at night. He stays humble as he starts to get noticed and gets signed up by an agent. The rise is rapid as he soon opens for some big stars in Nashville. Through it all he remains humble.
