Unfortunately, this is a song that all too many people relate to now. Myself, I've been out of work for a while, and the bills are piling up and money in scarce. Millions of people are stuck in dead-end jobs and are miserable. Working their fingers to the bone isn't what they wanted to do with their lives. But they need the money. Most of us don't have a choice in the matter. I wrote this song out of respect to all the hard-working people who never seem to get ahead.

A simple, fun song about a guy who really wants to a southern girl. In the US south, southern girls have a particular set of stereotypes surrounding them, and a lot of men are definitely drawn to them. They're known for being a little rowdier and tougher than girls from other parts of the world, and so they definitely have a special section all their own.

I was watching some poker game on TV and the announcer said "That's like sugar and salt," but I think he meant to say bitter-sweet or sweet and sour, or something in that vein. I'm not sure "sugar and salt" is an actual saying. But it did strike me that it might make a good song, so I went ahead and wrote something with that as the theme.

A song about a guy who lives in Texas but can't travel anywhere without remembering just how broken his life is without his woman. Everything he loved about the state has now changed. This is a very region-specific song that most won't get unless they're familiar with Texas.

A musician falls in love with a girl, and his dream is to travel around and play his music. The girl in this story needs to stay put for her life. Her wants her to go, she wants him to stay. So they end up parting ways. It ends up being something the guy just can't get over in the end. A more poetic take I tried on a classic love song, instead of the same cookie-cutter words and themes.
