So when I started this, I noticed that a lot of the songs I was picking were country songs. Then I thought the hell with it, and cut out the two other songs I had. Country fits these two so well.
01. Keith Urban - Better Life
Oh now there's a place for you and me / Where we can dream as big as the sky
I know it's hard to see it now / But baby someday we're gonna fly
Life on Serenity isn't always glamorous, but River and Jayne are moving towards something better. Together.
02. Tim McGraw - Real Good Man
Girl you've never known no one like me / Up there in your high society
This is such a Jayne song. He's a different kind of man than River is used to, but he's going to treat her right.
03. SheDaisy - I'm Taking the Wheel
You and me we're quite a pair / We make a mess out of thin air
You know I love you still /But I'm takin' the wheel
I always see River as the one who came on to Jayne. She knows what she wants, and she's going to make sure she gets it. She's in charge of this relationship, and Jayne wouldn't have it any other way.
04. Montgomery Gentry - She Don't Tell Me To
When I wake with her head on my shoulder / An' I know I've got to love her
Until my life is through / 'Cause she don't tell me to
Jayne tries to do everything right, because River isn't going to boss him around and try to make him into something that he isn't. He's never had a woman like that before.
05. Dixie Chicks - Cowboy Take Me Away
Oh it sounds good to me I said / Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can /Into the wild blue
River just wants to be with Jayne. She doesn't want to deal with the inevitable judgments from the crew over their relationship. She just wants to be swept away by her cowboy.
06. Gary Allan - Life Ain't Always Beautiful
No, life aint always beautiful / Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful / But it's a beautiful ride
Life out in the black isn't beautiful at most times, but it's a hell of a ride. River and Jayne are just making the most out of what life tosses their way.
07. Josh Turner - Your Man
I’ve been thinking 'bout this all day long / Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on / Just to be your man
Jayne's used to dealing with whores, and he's never really had a woman of his own. He can't believe how good it feels just to belong to River.
08. Trisha Yearwood - She's in Love With the Boy
Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick / When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But Katie's young and man she just don't care / She'd follow Tommy anywhere
Just replace daddy with Simon and Tommy with Jayne. It's a perfect fit.
09. Johnny Cash - I Walk the Line
I find it very, very easy to be true / I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you / Because you're mine, I walk the line
Jayne's not used to being in a relationship, and he's bound to want to wander. He loves River though, so he's trying his hardest to keep himself in check.
10. Gretchin Wilson - I Don't Feel Like Loving You Today
But you know I will anyway / Even though we make it hard sometimes
I'll wind up forgiving and probably loving you /For the rest of my life
There's a huge possibility that Jayne's going to mess up at some point. River will be mad for awhile, but she'll end up forgiving him.
11. Sara Evans - A Real Fine Place to Start
Shootin' out lights, huntin' down dreams /Figurin' out what love really means
Baby, givin' you my heart / Is a real fine place to start.
River doesn't have much experience with love either. She's kind of going with the flow and just letting herself fall in love with Jayne.
12. Trace Adkins - Rough and Ready
Got a hot date, girl named Kate / Think's I'm cool - 'cause I shoot straight
Ain't one thing about her fake
Jayne's pretty rough and ready, don't you think? River loves him for more than his shooting skills, but it's a good common ground.
13. Miranda Lambert - Kerosene
Forget you high society / I’m soakin’ it in Kereosne
Light ‘em up and watch them burn / teach them what they need to learn, HA!
River's done with the society she used to live in. It only hurt her and taught her how not to love. She's giving up on that kind of love and trying something new with Jayne.
14. Kane - Crazy in Love
I don't think that it seems really all that strange / When I'm skipping down the road singin' her name
But if you could see her walk across a crowded room / Then you would understand why I go insane
Basically Jayne and River are crazy in love. Plus, these lines make me think of how Jayne felt seeing River make her way through the Maidenhead bar. You know he got turned on at the way she fought. It's Jayne.
