Y'all...what on earth am I not hearing?! Lol this is one of the dumbest songs I think I've ever heard. The production is nice but the lyrics are atrocious and it's just overall not a song that I would ever have wanted to hear on the radio nor will I ever be re-visiting it. Jake Owen is hot as f**k in that MV tho. Mm!!!! Since this song had a #1 ranking from gardyfan , and "Places to Run" didn't have any, I reluctantly pushed this up to win the tie. The next song beat out "Yee Haw" by ONE POINT!!!!!! Sweet lord are you not old enough to remember this album being current on the radio?! Put me in a home, Dorothy! I'm ready!

Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day I'm bustin' it, I'm breakin' my back Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel Boss man says, "Boy, you're pullin' a double" It's always me, pickin' up the slack Nobody said it was easy
But girl it's been a long hard day It seems we work our lives away Five o'clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet But girl when I come home to you The only thing I wanna do Is baby hold you tight 'cause all that gets me through

"Long Night With You" is quite a nice song. It's got some sultry lyrics, like at least one other song on this album! The production is also really nice. tim and sabre14 pick up yet another perfect ranking here.

There's nothing I like more than a song with a great melody and "Long Night With You" is a good example of that. I could easily see someone like George Strait or even Sammy Kershaw singing this.

I was born October 5, 2000 and when this album was released, I was 5 going on 6! I remember the big songs like JTTW and "Teardrops On My Guitar," "Because Of You," etc. Jake Owen didn't register with me until Barefoot Blue Jean Night was on the radio! (When I was 10-11 ;) ) Happy belated 28th :kii: :kii: :kii:

I had a one night stand with my best friend's baby sister And to this day he still won't speak to me I pawned my grandpa's old guitar in college For a case of beer and a tank of gasoline
I took a swing at my old man one Christmas I never dreamed that it would be his last I wish mom had rung my neck when she caught me with those cigarettes Which reminds me, I'm down to my last pack
If I had a dime for half the things I did That didn't make no sense at all, I'd be living a little higher on the hog If only I'd've known that later on down the road I'd look back and not like what I see

Two of the best songs on the album by far! It would've been interesting had the label opted to release "Ghosts" instead as the third single in lieu of "Something About a Woman" as I wonder if it would've done any better at country radio. "Startin' with Me" is hands down one of my all-time favorite songs by Jake and I'll just never forget how great it sounded on radio at the time. Thanks again kamala 2024 truther!

And there you have it! Singles bias takes over, and the title track beats out "Ghosts" to win the rankdown! With a whopping SEVEN #1s, this ran away from the beginning as the primary #1 contender. "Ghosts" was no slouch though! It also wiped the floor with its closest competition, beating out "Long Night With You" for the runner-up spot by nearly FORTY points!!! Without the questionable #11 from Kris Kringle, it would've only lost the winner's position by ONE point!!!! "Ghosts" is one of Jake's best songs, period. I can't BELIEVE that this song (which was written for Kenny Chesney, who expressed interest but ultimately never recorded it) was overlooked in favor of the likes of "Yee Haw," when it's the very song that got him discovered in Nashville. Some repayment! Thanks for following along y'all, and being so patient over the past month while I took care of life and tried to find a minute in my calendar to sit down and reveal these results. The next album in the series will be revealed soon!

The correct Top 2 and in the correct order. "Ghosts" is incredible but "Startin' With Me" is just the highlight of this album, easily. Should have been a much bigger hit than it was.

Y'all...what on earth am I not hearing?! Lol this is one of the dumbest songs I think I've ever heard. The first time I heard "Yee Haw" I thought "what is this?" It was played on a new country segment on our hometown station and everyone called to bash it lol. But after a few listens it really grew on me. It's not as dumb as you think after listening to it more. Jake's vocal delivery is overly twangy but it's just a fun country song that's not meant to be deep in any way. The melody is strong and so is the instrumentation.

Lol what album was Kringle even listening to?
Happy with this outcome. Would've obviously preferred for "Ghosts" to win, but "Startin' with Me" is fantastic too. Both are incredible and among the best songs of his entire career.

Would've liked to see the top 2 in reverse order, but both are great songs so it's certainly not a big deal. "Ghosts" reminds me of one of my all-time favorite songs, "Little Rock" and manages to hold up well in comparison. Just a devastatingly effective lyric. Startin' With Me isn't far behind it though. It was certainly the better choice for radio, with a really strong chorus melody to go along with the great lyrics.

I'm willing to bet many people are gonna just skip it (I know I already have), and was frankly considering for a couple seconds whether or not to just chop it from the list

Some people really failed at that last time, and they need a chance to prove themselves worthy of Jesus' forgiveness

Well, time has really snuck up on us this month! April 2021 has really been flying by quickly, and as a result, the due date for this is fast approaching. We're already just two weeks away from the deadline! tim 's is the only list I have received thus far, but I'm certain I'll receive a flood of submissions once April 30 creeps closer. Still a bit of time to worry about this one! Due: Friday, April 30

Time continues to fly by, and we're now one week away from the deadline for this album! I can likely give a couple days but would like to have all lists in by April 30. I still only have two lists from tim and ClevelandRox. My list makes three total. If an extension would be helpful, please let me know! Due: Friday, April 30

I just noticed this...i think i wanna play. Love me some Jake Owen! You'll wanna get in on this pretty quickly as there are now just three days remaining to submit a list for this! gardyfan now brings us to 6, and I am missing several notable people ( fearlessarrow?! .indulgecountry? ClevelandRox?! bboat11?!?!). I know there's lots going on still in the rankdown world, which is why I've been submitting for rankdowns the very night they're due, lol. I'm sure that's what a lot of you are also doing, which means I'm still certain I'll get a flood in my inbox by the time the next three days are behind us ;) I also can't really extend too far out. George Strait's first set of album tracks are due just two days after this, and I don't want to encroach on it. Please get your lists in ASAP!Lists Received:1. tim2. Kanenrá:ke3. someguy4. castleoblivion265. kamala 2024 truther6. gardyfanDue: Friday, April 30

I assumed it was going in order of albums but now i see it is not 🙁 Yeah, most of the time album series are done in chronological order either forwards or backwards, or sometimes even both if we're doing two albums at once, but for this one I wanted to shake things up. Unfortunately, we're already five albums in and have just one album left after this. We still have his extras and album tracks to look forward to as well; you're welcome to join in on those!

Hi y’all. My WiFi is going haywire on me, and my laptop is where I have these results on. I have your lists and you can keep submitting, but since I don’t know when I’ll be able to get this issue fixed, I will continue to accept lists until further notice. Hopefully this gets resolved quickly!!!
