* LyricSwap: For most of "You Should Probably Leave" the narrator is trying to resist spending the night with someone; accordingly, the chorus ends with "You want me to say that I want you to stay, so you should probably leave." They do spend the night together, but he suspects they'll [[NotStayingForBreakfast leave as soon as they wake up]], so the last chorus ends with "I want you to stay, but you'll probably say that you should probably leave."

Stapleton is known for his minimalistic traditional sound, leading to favorable comparisons to the "outlaw country" movement of TheSeventies, with critics also noting his soulful blues and R&B-styled phrasings.

* WanderlustSong: "Starting Over":
-->Well the road rolls out like a welcome mat\\
To a better place than the one we're at\\
And I ain't got no kinda plan\\
But I've had all of this town I can stand\\
And I got friends out on the coast\\
We can jump in the water and see what floats\\
We've been saving for a rainy day\\
Let's beat the storm and be on our way

A CountryMusic singer who emerged in TheNewTens as a popular purveyor of "neo-traditional" country music, Christopher Alvin Stapleton (born April 15, 1978) made his debut at the TurnOfTheMillennium as a popular songwriter, having penned #1 hits for Josh Turner, Music/KennyChesney, Music/DariusRucker, Music/ThomasRhett, and Music/LukeBryan. He then fronted the bluegrass group The Steeldrivers for a short time, then an even shorter gig in the Southern rock band The Jompson Brothers, before making his mark as a solo singer. After a false start with "What Are You Listening To" in 2013, Stapleton recorded ''Traveller'' in 2015. While the lead single and title track flopped, he got a sudden boost in popularity with the hits "Nobody to Blame" and "Parachute". A cover of "[[Music/GeorgeJones Tennessee Whiskey]]" was also immensely popular from the album, becoming his highest-charting entry despite never being shipped as a single -- this was due to him performing the song with Music/JustinTimberlake on that year's CMA Awards, helping greatly in boosting his profile.
