In "That's Why I Picked This Guitar," a jealous man decides he will make the woman choose between her guitar or him - and he was taught a lesson when she chose the guitar. She'd leave him all alone at home feeling insecure while she enjoyed the time away. When decision time rolled around, he couldn't compete with the cheap therapy being on stage gave her so he became old news. Sassy song number two is "Firestarter" and there's some edge to it. The man may think he's dealing with a simple schoolgirl, however the joke is on him. She won't just let a man tease her and walk away. She'll finish what he started because "I light a match then fan the flames, watch you burn and then walk away." She's a tough woman.
"Something Worth Saving" has an attitude completely different from the previous song. In this one, the woman tells her ex-boyfriend that they should give things another try, because she realizes how much their relationship means to her. "The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving" has some standout dobro sounds if you listen carefully. You might think going home will lift your spirits after a breakup, but nothing is the same when you're depressed. "I'm moving like a stranger through my own past." Another song with standout lyrics is the slow-tempo, "Lean." In it, the woman tells the man not to be afraid of asking for help because she'll hold him & make his life's load a little lighter.
