* "Church Bells" is a heart-breaking story, especially to anyone who has been in an abusive relationship. The song is about a sweet farm girl named Jenny who marries a rich oil magnate, but soon finds out he's an abusive alcoholic and she's forced to hide the bruises with makeup and sunglasses while just praying for things to get better. Eventually she snaps from the strain and slips a poison into his drink to escape his abuse.

* "Jesus, Take The Wheel". It's about a woman who's driving home for Christmas, with her kid in the backseat. Then she loses control of the wheel. It's depressing to say the least.
* "Mama's Song" is another one -- with the bittersweet, low-key instrumental backing as a key component.
* "Temporary Home".
* Hell, pretty much any song involving God or her mother is gonna be emotional.
