Truman,

I agree with most of what your saying.
I think that however most lyrics in todays country hits can almost stand on their own.

Rock songs don't count here.
I could give thousands of those examples.

To answer your question:

I think that Jimmi Wayne's song is a good song musically and vocally so I guess some folks could like it. (but which)
But I think how it got cut was probably due to someones hype and pushing it. Especially if Kenny Chesney wrote it.

I see your point that if it was total crap that no executive would let it out.

So my final conclusion is that they must of anticipated a Younger target audience than the usual 35 year old female.
I'm guessing they thought this would appeal to a young female audience 15-23
Must be a label marketing genious behind this one.

So I guess if I was to judge this as a 15 year old female I would think this song was just Dreamy...

Another solved case...
I figured this out with no DNA.
