Yeah, why haven't we been ranking them this whole time - lol - let's see...

1 Hey God
2 Last Man Standing
3 I Believe
4 Lay Your Hands On Me
5 Let It Rock
6 Runaway
7 Lost Highway
8 Undivided
9 It's My Life
10 In And Out Of Love
11 We Weren't Born To Follow
12 Because We Can

And it's not necessarily that I like certain tracks over others, it's just how well I think they work as opener

Sometimes I get confused at 3:30 in the morning :-p Replace it with Have A Nice Day. I loved Last Man Standing as a live opener though.

I'd say...

=1. Lay Your Hands On Me, I Believe and Hey God (all pretty much perfect)
2. Runaway (where it all began!)
3. Let It Rock (just a great fun statement of intent)
4. Have A Nice Day (a great rock song to start the band's most out and out rock album since Keep The Faith)
5. It's My Life (an important enough song in the bands career to justify the opening spot)
6. Undivided (a great song, but it sets it up to be a 9/11 album when it's really not)
7. Because We Can (better than the bottom two on the list)
8. Lost Highway (not a fan of the song but it definitely sets up what you're going to get from the album
9. Born To Follow (uninspired and exceedingly average)

I'm not sure how I'd rank the ones in the middle, but the worst is definitely We Weren't Born to Follow. It makes me cringe every time I hear it.

11. We Weren't Born To Follow (the album should have opened with When We Were Beautiful as I think it was originally meant to before someone, somewhere decided We Weren't Born To Follow was a good idea.)

My pick is I Believe. It sets the mood for a rejuvenated band and a fresh, exciting album.
I second this. Great start to the album.
