She Put the “Y” in “Try”

This song represents the peculiar crossroads of three things: 01) Nashville music production, 02) a foolish man’s broken heart, and 03) the dimmest imaginable light of inspiration.

On a side note, it’s worth pointing out that the song is exactly 3:00 minutes long, which is the length that all songs would be if the corporate music world had its way.


She’s Got a Way with Words icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 02 from the If I’m Honest LP by Blake Shelton icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

When you put two and two together you figure out that “love” has got four letters
I should have known that when I met her, but she had to spell it out for me
After all that second guessing, it’s been a long hard history lesson
That’s a class I got an F in, but now I understand perfectly

She put the “hur” in “hurt”
She put the “Y” in “try”
She put the “S.O.B.” in “sober”
She put the “hang” in “hangover”
She put the “ex” in “sex”
She put the “low” in “blow”
She put a big “F.U.” in my “future”
She’s got a way with words

Little words like “I” and “do”—lying, cheating, screwed
Yeah all the words I thought I knew, they got a brand new meaning now

She put the “hur” in “hurt”
She put the “Y” in “try”
She put the “S.O.B.” in “sober”
She put the “hang” in “hangover”
She put the “ex” in “sex”
She put the “low” in “blow”
She put a big “F.U.” in my “future”
She’s got a way with words

Musician’s Humor

Ana Vidovic Plays Asturias icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (posted by SiccasGuitars icon-external-link-12x12 )

I’ve always had this peculiar S&M fantasy where a smokin’ hot girl guitar player tells me that my vibrato sucks in front of a large crowd of people, and then everyone starts laughing and jeering at me.

I’m sure Ms. Vidovic is much too nice to ever do something like this, but she has everything else dialed in to make this desire of mine a reality.
