The title track, "That's Why," with it's pretty melody is a song that speaks to and about the everyday folks. It's not a song about tiki bars or beaches but rather about the everyday life we all go through. The mid-tempo melody guides the song as Morgan sings about why he does what he does, even if he may not like doing it all that much. "Ordinary Angels" is another song that speaks to the common folks, it may be a clichéd power ballad to some but it is real to the audience who will hear it. And that's what's at the heart of this album and all of Craig Morgan's albums to date; Music for the common man. Craig Morgan may be a recording star but he can relate to being a salt-of-the-earth worker and he records albums that appeal to those kinds of people. It's also why this album may relate more to men than women. Sure the love songs will get the girls to listen but their boyfriends and husbands will likely enjoy "That's Why" even more.
