The lyrics of "Most Beautiful Thing" combined with a smooth melodic structure is sure to make you feel loved, important, and empowered. "Country Enough" is a song that just about anyone can relate to. It's simply about being who you are, nothing more, nothing less. And that statement alone is Brandon's main message he wishes to share with people. [You don't have to compromise or conform to be loved and accepted. There can't be a more perfect you]. "She's My Kind of Country" brings it home with a very unique chord structure contrasting the verse and chorus with a modulation. Lyrically, it ties together Most Beautiful Thing and Country Enough, revealing a girl who values God, herself, family, and friends. From start to finish, you will be taken for a ride.

Brandon Chase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day you kissed my lips
Light as a feather
And it went just like this
No, it's never been better
Than the summer of 2002
We were only eleven
But acting like grownups
Drinking from plastic cups
Singing love is forever and ever
Well, I guess that was true
Dancing on the hood in the middle of the woods
Of an old Mustang
Where we sang
Songs with all our childhoods friends
And it went like this, say
Oops, I got 99 problems singing Bye, Bye, Bye
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better Hit Me Baby, One More Time
Paint a picture for you and me
Of the days when we were young
Singing at the top of both our lungs
Now we're under the covers
Fast forward to eighteen
We are more than lovers
Yeah, we are all we need
When we're holding each other
I'm taken back to 2002
Dancing on the hood in the middle of the woods
Of an old Mustang
Where we sang
Songs with all our childhoods friends
And it went like this, say
Oops, I got 99 problems singing Bye, Bye, Bye
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better Hit Me Baby, One More Time
Paint a picture for you and me
Of the days when we were young
Singing at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love
On the day we fell in love
Dancing on the hood in the middle of the woods
Of an old Mustang
Where we sang
Songs with all our childhoods friends
Oh, now
Oops, I got 99 problems singing Bye, Bye, Bye
Hold up, if you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better Hit Me Baby, One More Time
Paint a picture for you and me
Of the days when we were young
Singing at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love
On the day we fell in love
On the day we fell in love
On the day we fell in love
On the day we fell in love, love, love
In "2002," Brandon Chase sings about a nostalgic summer love that he had when he was just eleven years old. He reminisces about how carefree they were during that summer, drinking from plastic cups and singing about love lasting forever. Despite them being so young, they still acted like grownups and held onto the idea that their love would last forever. He vividly recalls a moment when they were dancing on the hood of an old Mustang in the woods with their childhood friends, singing popular songs from the early 2000s.
Fast forward to when he's eighteen and he's with his partner under the covers. He's taken back to the time when they fell in love back in 2002, and it feels like nothing has changed since then. The memories of that summer love are still vivid and strong.
The lyrics of "2002" speak to the experience of growing up and looking back on the innocence and naivete of childhood. Even though those relationships we had as kids may have come and gone, they still hold a special place in our hearts and help form who we are today.
