Everyone else I've heard sing that lyric has difficulty making it work.AVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409136828655321461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-80296864291549144892018-11-30T09:27:05.233+00:002018-11-30T09:27:05.233+00:00On "Smoking Gun", Robert Cray finishes e...On "Smoking Gun", Robert Cray finishes every verse with "gun", which he rhymes variously with "one", "sum" and "drum". That's sort of the same thing that Kenny Rogers is doing. <br /><br />If you look through the whole rock and pop canon you will find far worse infelicities, including songs that don't rhyme at all.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-37955337535787356562018-11-30T02:04:31.794+00:002018-11-30T02:04:31.794+00:00Inelegant alright.
