As a working musician, I really like this song.
It has a commercial sound that lends itself to the guy playing 4 nights a week in a dance hall or bar.
It’s traditional & sticks in your mind.
Currently, it’s getting a lotta airplay in my area.
The more I hear it, the more familiar it feels.

I agree that the performance is nondescript, but it’s also true that this song knocks the socks off of pretty much everything was performed on the CMAs last week. It’s encouraging to know that there’s somebody out there that’s still trying to make authentic country records. At least it’s a step in the right direction.

Jim, since your ambivalence about the song seems to center around Miller’s vocal performance, could you see yourself giving it a “thumbs up” if it were recorded by a more capable vocalist?

Rainbow … Yes, that one and the ‘It’s Your Call’ and ‘Greatest Hits Vol. 2′ covers by Reba all show her lazy eye. You’d think they could have found better photos for album covers.

Im pretty late for the party here, but ill put my two cents in.

First of all, there are parts where he really does sound just like John Conlee.

Second, I think this is a decent song. Like someone said earlier, classis Paul Overstreet. He cant be the first to say im sorry, because he views her frying bacon as an apology.

Someone asked how frying bacon is such a surefire sign that everythings ok. For my taste, thats a detail that makes me enjoy the song. It is those little things in relationships that are the reality of where they stand.

I dont know if this song has staying power, and i dont know if that has anything to do with the industry or Lance Millers forgettable vocal performance, but I do know I like the song.

I like the song. I don’t love it, but I think I would give it a thumbs up.

JR, check Reba’s “Secret Of Giving” cover out. There you really have some crossed eyes.

I think the song is okay … but how can that guy walk in a straight line with his eyes crossed like that?

Wow, all this heated discussion over what is basically a decent but non-descript traditional sounding single! I remember when Lance was on Nashville Star and his vocals didn’t impress me then either, but this is a likeable song. Okay, back to the heated discussion….

Jim – no rubbing the wrong way at all, and like I said last week, “I dont know how to quit you!”
