In current country music, titles have gavitated to very innocuous phrases, "Dirt", "Cruise" "American Kids", I Drive your Truck, Burning it down." What most country songwriters are trying to do is make "The ordinary, EXTRODINARY." (Although they don't always do it)
Most are taking an every day events and giving it an interesting spin. A few titles do reflect a different twist:
"Drunk on a Plane" and "House that Built Me", are differently presented. But as always in Country, the story and development of the action is what is important.

Also, double meanings are important. Fla. Georgia Line's "Dirt" is about the core values that many Americans adhere to, family, land, home. "Chesney's American Kids are the same thing, except from a 'mobile" gypsy type family that moves around, making "home wherever they are."
The titles usually indicate something in the story that stands out. Helps to have a good one.
