Imagine...

...You are a songwriter and musician, in Nashville, the holy grail of tunes. And imagine you got writer's block while you were in the one place you expected to find inspiration...Oh the irony!

Well... that is exactly what I just did. My favourite, mr Wes Carr has just landed in Nashville Tennessee for a songwriting stint,and in true mad hatter style, I thought about how amusing it would be if you got writers block while there and just to add to the irony, ended up writing a country song about having writer's block in the Country/Blues capital of America.

After I randomly wrote the chorus and tweeted it to Wes, I thought I'd better finish it off, after all this is genius right here. Just for a bit of background, Wes met Reba McEntire who was sitting next to him on the plane and he was too shy to talk to her at first (it's true), and he did go to all the bars when he got there, but I made up the story about the nude cowboys.

So, ahhhheeeem, mr Carr... feel free to take credit for this. It's genius after all... I wouldn't blame you for stealing it. :P




Oh I went down to Nashville
And I got writers block
Yeah all my words got stuck my lord
And it was such a shock
I somehow forgot all the things
That I had to say
Yeah lord I fell off the beaten track
I guess I lost my way
Oh yeah. Oh Oh Yeah



Reba she sat next to me
When we was on the plane
Her hair was swishin’ near my face
It was a bright red flame
And I was much too scared
To even say hello
But then we started talkin
And the conversation flowed
Yeah she was nice
As nice could be
Cos I told her I was a personal trainer,
I had her fooled ya see
And then the plane, it landed
Oh yeah it touched down
Now it was the time
For me to hit the town

Oh yeah. Oh Oh Yeah


So I went looking for my words
When I got off that flight
I searched in every bar in town
Oh it was quite a night
I saw two naked cowboys
Have a massive fight
And then they kissed when they made up
It didn’t feel quite right
I tried real hard to look away
My face was turnin' white
But still I glanced back over
Cos it was quite a sight
Here I was in Tennessee
In the middle of the night
All alone, my mojo lost
What a load of shite...
