Learn the rules so you can break them. Find out the generally accepted song forms, then you can change 'em up a little and still have it be mediocre enough to interest Nashville folks. This "learn 'em to break 'em" rule is a good maxim for everyday life as well: When you're sober, figure out where the traps usually are so later you can get to' up and still make it home without having to say the alphabet backwards if you know what I mean. Get your wife used to you coming in at 12 so she'll start drifting off about that time, then you can slip around up past 2 (Tiger ain't learned shiyatt). That's enough help. Figure this stuff out yourself. It took me years to get this pimpin' in the songwriting and sack shaking games.Not actually written by John Rich.
