"Good Directions" Billy Currington media type="youtube" key="X4lBRJUTyLc" height="315" width="420"

Rationale:

This song is an example of a modern day ballad. Some characteristics include that this ballad has a plot. Physical courage is practiced when hes scared to ask her name. Love is a frequent theme because he says that the women of his dreams is coming back to him. In the structure repetition is common when he says a left will take you to the interstate and a right will bring you right back here to me. The ballad is also brought to a close when she comes back to him. There is narration when she is asking for direction he tells her how to get to the interstate or how to come back to him. The only dialogue would be when he gave her directions, and when he asked her to stop at Mrs. Bells for some sweet tea and to turn around and come back his way. When she left and he was left alone there was some language. He said that he threw his hat and "kicked himself" for not catching her name.
