As DevilsSon says, you don't know he wrote those songs on his own.
I don't want to believe it but I can't reconcile the same man writing the Miracle lyrics and also writing some of the cringey stuff he wrote around that time. Maybe he did but when you see the stories around All About Loving You, Ugly, Blaze of Glory, I do start to wonder if the whispers of Jon using ghost writers or claiming songwriting credits purely to get royalties are true.
As for Dry County, Jon wrote a four minute song. At the suggestion of the band it turned into a 10 minute epic with a great solo. I find it hard to believe that Richie wasn't as involved in creating that song as much as Jon was in writing Ugly for example.
