McComas later attended college, but soon dropped out to move to Nashville, Tennessee. McComas briefly signed to Mercury Records, before he landed a deal with Lyric Street in 2001, charting the singles "Night Disappear With You" and "I Could Never Love You Enough". In 2003, he landed his first Top 10, "99.9% Sure (I've Never Been Here Before)" and the follow up "You're in My Head", a #21 hit on the country charts. Another single for Lyric Street, "The Middle of Nowhere", fell short of the Top 40, and Lyric Street dropped him not long afterward. He later signed to Katapult Records, where he released Back Up Again, his second album.

I got to you
We got somethin' that's steady and true
It's a good good lovin'
Backroads boy
Bright-eyed girl
With our own little piece of the world
Yeah, it is
Chorus
Gimme that sweet, sweet surrender
For as long as I can remember
It's been the real thing
We ain't pretenders
Yes, you're somethin'
Ooh baby, that good good lovin'
Rooster crows
Up with the sun
Come home runnin' when the day is done
For the good good lovin'
Front porch swing
Starry night
Doin' our thing and doin' it right
It's a good good lovin'
Yeah, it is
2nd Chorus
Gimme that sweet, sweet surrender
January through December
Baby, it's the real thing
We ain't pretenders
It's next to nothin'
Ooh baby, that good good lovin'
Time for bed
Steal another kiss
Ain't no feelin' better than this
It's a good good lovin'
Close my eyes
Start to pray
Ask the Lord for one more day
Of the good good lovin'
'Cause it is
3rd Chorus
That sweet, sweet surrender

We ain't pretenders
Yeah, extra somethin'

Good good, good good lovin'
That's good, bro
The song "Good Good Lovin'" by Brian McComas is a tribute to the beauty found in love between two people. The lyrics speak of a deep, steady and true love that has been there for as long as the singer can remember. The song highlights the intimacy and closeness that only exists between two people who deeply love and care for each other. It's clear that the love that McComas is celebrating in this song is not a fleeting or superficial feeling, but rather a bond that has stood the test of time.
The first verse introduces us to the two lovers who make up the subject of the song. They are described as a "backroads boy" and a "bright-eyed girl." Despite their different backgrounds, they have found something special in each other that transcends any differences they may have. They have created their own little world where they can be themselves and experience the joy of true love. This verse and the following one set the stage for the chorus, where McComas asks for that "sweet, sweet surrender" that comes with deep and meaningful love.
The second verse sees the lovers enjoying the simple pleasures of life, like running home after a long day's work just to be together. They spend their nights on the front porch swing, enjoying the starry sky and each other's company. McComas emphasizes that this is not just any kind of love, but a "good good lovin'" that feels next to nothing else. The final verse shows the lovers preparing to sleep, asking for one more day of the love that they share before ending the song.
