This Time | | | | | It's supposed to be a feel-good song about being at each other's throats one minute, then the next minute you're not. Things are looking bad for a little while, and all of a sudden they're not. It's like everything panned out all right -- this time. |
| | 2.
Rescue | | | | | Diane Warren wrote that one. She called me up out of the blue and was like, "I wrote your song. This is your song. Nobody else can do it." It's like the ultimate "Take me back" song. I wish I'd have written it, dammit. |
| | 3.
Further Down the Road | | | | | That song's really about my attitude, I guess, the way I feel day to day. Everything is everything, and there's nothing left to report. That's it in a nutshell. It's the one song on here that if I never write or record anything again, I'm glad I did that one. It really sums me up; I feel like I don't say much and I don't have much to say, but it's everything that I need to say all in one song. |
| | 4.
Don't Know How (Not to Love You) | | | | | I co-wrote that with a guy named Frank Myers, who writes a lot of country stuff. It was in the same week as "Songs About Me, Songs About You." I met him through Mike Bradford. |
| | 5.
What Do We Want? | | | | | That's just more self-realization -- Where did I fuck up? Where did I go wrong? Tell me what you're thinking. OK, I care, I care, I care. Uncle! I give up! |
| | 6.
Writting It Down | | | | | Mike Bradford wrote that one by himself. It was originally supposed to be for a movie soundtrack he was going to write, and it didn't work out for that. But when I heard it, I said "That is a beautiful song, and I need that for the record." The strings were such a trip. I get chills listening to that song. |
| | 7.
Place at My Table | | | | |
Bradford sent me this track, this country track he had done, and I was like, "All right, I'll re-do it and make it something different. And I thought about growing up and the whole Motown thing, and how my dad listened to Motown all the time. Even when we were doing yard work, there was a speaker aiming out of the window out to the yard playing Motown. And if it wasn't Motown, it was Patsy Cline and George Jones. |
| | 8.
Some Things You Can't Take Back | | | | | Maybe I did write a song about regrets, even though I said I didn't in "Songs About Me, Songs About You." |
| | 9.
Blues Man | | | | | It's the same kind of thing I do a lot -- "Here I am, nothing left to report." I get so annihilated in the press; most things I read, I just get destroyed. But this isn't an attack on anybody or anything. It's just saying that I don't have anything to say, really, to anybody or about anybody or anything. |
| | 10.
Songs About Me, Songs About You | | | | | You can almost tell when the divorce papers kicked in; this was definitely written right at the beginning of all that. I went through every emotion known to man, and I put `em into this one. There was some stuff we left out of it, too, once we made up and I knew the song was going on the album. I don't want to rub anybody's nose in anything. Not yet, anyway. |
| | 11.
Please Come Home | | | | | I co-wrote that with my keyboard player, Mark Meyers. He came in with this idea and we needed one more song for the record, and this was something I thought we'd be able to pop up a little bit. I finished the second verse and put in the na-na-na's and the little talking bridges, like an old doo-wop song. |
| | 12.
You're Not Free | | | | | Everybody has those friends or acquaintances, maybe in high school, the hippie kids that just didn't do anything, y'know? Well, you see `em now and they still don't have jobs, but they're free and, boy, they don't have a care in the world. I guess part of me was jealous about that, but most of me was like, "Fuckin' grow up!" |
| | 13.
Last Night Again | | | | | I stole that from Bob (Kid Rock). The actual quote was when he and DMC from Run-DMC were hanging out in Nashville; they went out one night, burning at both ends. The next day DMC cracks open a beer, and he's like, "Man, I can't believe it's last night again." Bob kept saying he was gonna write something with that. So I started writing this track, and I was e-mailing him on my little two-way -- "I'm stealing `Last night again.' Just letting you know so you're not mad." He e-mailed back, "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission," and I wrote "I'm not asking for permission. I'm letting you know it's mine."...That's actually Bret Michaels from Poison and Phil Vassar doing harmonies with me and Kenny. |
