My Favorite Songs 39


 Smoke In Her Eyes ; Ty England ; Ty England ; 1995

Ty England is the self-titled debut album from American country music artist Ty England. Formerly a guitarist in Garth Brooks' road band, England recorded and released his solo debut album in 1995 on the Nashville division of RCA Records. The album's first single, Should've Asked Her Faster, peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts; the second and third singles (Smoke in Her Eyes and Redneck Son, respectively) both failed to make Top 40 on the same chart. Her Only Bad Habit Is Me was originally recorded by George Strait on his 1991 album Chill of an Early Fall.

Even though this song did not make it commercially, I love it for its passion and how much I can relate to the main character’s situation. Unlike the subject of this song, I am male but have experienced similar meetings throughout my life where I knew I was in trouble and had to make a choice, but these meetings came after my heart had already been broken numerous times when I was blinded by love, so I understand the feeling of “knowing” the possible hurt which could lie ahead, but also not wanting to miss out on the emotions that accompany chasing someone, flirting with someone, hoping, dreaming, caring for someone, and possible sharing a life.
