“And I swear it so/As long as blood flows/I will struggle to hold myself a little bit higher/Maybe I can be a new man…”  Wonderful Day is a song about a man struggling with alcoholism.  With his life deteriorating, he holds onto a splinter of faith that today can be a better day.

“There’s no way to disguise/All the pain that hides behind your eyes.”  Love can sometimes be a barrier.  Unrequited love, jealousy, and even grief are all examples of love acting as a stumbling block to happiness.  Still Holding On is about the downward spiral that can result from losing love.

“Right is right is right/The more I think, the more I think I might/Be wrong for you and wrong for me/The pages of these two stories will never be the same for you and me.”  Low is a song about the moment when a man realizes that the woman that he is with, is putting him in the ground.  

“Turn left, turn right, I’m turnin’ side-to-side/She got me up, got me down, she done, spun me around.”  A woman can make a man weak at the knees and question his sanity.  Roller Coaster Girl describes the turbulent ride that a man experiences when in love with an unpredictable woman.

“So I’ll take my boots and walk away/and let the bottle take the sting from me/As I stare into the distance/I wonder why I never listen/I guess it might be time to change my ways.”   In relationships, there are times when people reach an intersection, a crossroads.  If they turn to the right, they may recognize their differences, make sacrifices, and grow together.  This song is about taking a left.
