"Damn Good Day to Leave" is a song by American country music singer Riley Green. It was released as the second single from Green's second studio album, Ain't My Last Rodeo on March 18, 2024. It was written by Green with Erik Dylan, Jonathan Singleton, and Nick Walsh, with production handled by Scott Borchetta, Jimmy Harnen, and Dann Huff.
Green co-wrote "Damn Good Day to Leave" with Erik Dylan, Jonathan Singleton, and Nick Walsh in March 2022 at 50 Egg Music. [1] Inspired in part by Green's days playing football for Jacksonville State University in Alabama, he brought the idea for the song title to the writing session, and they wrote something that detailed the end of a relationship, permeated by dark imagery of vehicle taillights and Hank Williams singing about trains, but contrasted by the protagonist instead seeing blue skies and newfound freedom in the wake of her leaving. [1] Though not done intentionally, the writers noted thematic similarities to "I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)" by Brad Paisley, "I Was on a Boat That Day" by Old Dominion, and "When It Rains It Pours" by Luke Combs after completing the song. [1]
It was issued to country radio with an impact date of March 18, 2024, and was the most-added song that week at the format with 84 first-week adds. [2] Originally promoted as the second single from Ain't My Last Rodeo, the song was also later included on Green's 2024 EP, Way Out Here and his third studio album, Don't Mind If I Do, which will be released in October 2024.

Green performed "Damn Good Day to Leave" on Fox & Friends on June 14, 2024. [4]

Sweetheart of the Rodeo is the sixth album by the American rock band the Byrds and was released in August 1968 on Columbia Records. Recorded with the addition of country rock pioneer Gram Parsons, it became the first album widely recognized as country rock as well as a seminal progressive country album, and represented a stylistic move away from the psychedelic rock of the band's previous LP, The Notorious Byrd Brothers. The Byrds had occasionally experimented with country music on their four previous albums, but Sweetheart of the Rodeo represented their fullest immersion into the genre up to that point in time. The album was responsible for bringing Parsons, who had joined the Byrds in February 1968 prior to the start of recording, to the attention of a mainstream rock audience for the first time. Thus, the album is an important chapter in Parsons' crusade to make country music fashionable for a young audience.

"A Satisfied Mind" is a song written by Joe "Red" Hayes and Jack Rhodes. Hayes explained the origin of the song in an interview: "The song came from my mother. Everything in the song are things I heard her say over the years. I put a lot of thought into the song before I came up with the title. One day my father-in-law asked me who I thought the richest man in the world was, and I mentioned some names. He said, 'You're wrong; it is the man with a satisfied mind.'"
