If you thought Jason Aldean<\/a> and his wife Brittany Aldean<\/a> would debut with a love song, you’d be mistaken. The lyrics to “Easier Gone” describe heartbreak and sorrow.<\/p>\n The duet is a first for the couple. Previously, Jason Aldean had said\u00a0he and his wife were open to sharing a vocal but needed the right song.\u00a0Those lyrics came from an unlikely source.<\/p>\n Read More<\/strong><\/em>: The 23 Saddest Duets In Country Music History<\/a><\/p>\n Charles Kelley<\/a> and Dave Haywood<\/a> \u2014 two-thirds of Lady A<\/a> \u2014 wrote “Easier Gone” with Jimmy Robbins and Josh Kerr. The melody, structure and vocal obligations would have fit the trio, too. Rarely have we heard Aldean hold on to notes as long as he does in the chorus, but Kelley and Hillary Scott<\/a> do it all the time.<\/p>\n Jason Aldean begins this power ballad\u00a0by describing an unexpected run-in with an ex. This rattles him, and the rest of the song finds the two\u00a0lovers describing how\u00a0life was simpler when there was distance between them. Find the full lyrics below.<\/p>\n Brittany Aldean enters during the first verse but really opens up at the chorus. She also gets a pair of solo lines to begin the second verse and then has the chance to prove her vocal talents through the end.<\/p>\n Prior to marrying Jason in 2015, Brittany Aldean was an aspiring singer who tried out for American Idol<\/em><\/a> but was cut during Hollywood Week.<\/p>\n I wish I didn\u2019t know your name \/ Wish you were just another stranger \/ So you walkin\u2019 in this bar \/ Wouldn\u2019t put my broken heart \/ In danger.<\/em><\/p>\n I wish I didn\u2019t know your drink (know my drink) \/ Was the one that he just bought you (he just bought me) \/ Everything I tried forgettin\u2019 \/ Came rushing back the second \/ I saw you.<\/em><\/p>\n Chorus:<\/strong> Why\u2019d you have to turn that car around (turn that car around) \/ Why\u2019d you have to come and crash my party (crash your party) \/ Throwin\u2019 happy in my face \/ Smilin\u2019 like you ain\u2019t \/ Even sorry.<\/em><\/p>\n Repeat Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n Safer as a memory \/ Better on the run \/ Your eyes were cutting through me \/ Messin\u2019 me back up \/ Baby would it kill you \/ To go back wherever you came from.<\/em><\/p>\n Repeat Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n Country is well known for duets, and there is no shortage of collaborations between men and women, women and women, or two men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
