Highway Don't Care

This Mark Irwin, Josh Kear, Brad and Brett Warren penned tune features harmony vocals from McGraw's labelmate Taylor Swift whilst Keith Urban adds some guitar licks. "Those are two of my favorite artists," McGraw told Billboard magazine. "Keith and I had talked about recording a song together - something he could play guitar on, it was just finding the right song that worked. When I got the demo, I knew I wanted Taylor's voice on this song. When she came in and sang it, it could not have been better, and to have them both on it is great. I think this song would have been something I would have wanted whether anybody had sang on it. The fact that they are on it makes it really special."

Lyrically, the song is a take on freedom tinged with regret. "There's a sultriness to it," McGraw told Billboard. "Taylor sang her ass off on that thing. This was also one of the first songs I found for this album, and I knew instantly I wanted Taylor on it. The great thing about that song is the perspective it's told from, her voice is the song coming through the radio."

Taylor Swift's debut single was "Tim McGraw," in which she disclosed that a song by its namesake was her favorite song during an early romance. Swift is heard on this cut as a voice on the radio as the protagonist is driving. making it something of an answer song to "Tim McGraw." "It does tie back to the same sort of theme that her song had," McGraw admitted Radio.com. "I don't know that I've ever thought about it that way."
