Bass Pro Hat (Commentary)

"Bass Pro Hat" was written

Two years ago when I was in Canada

And it was the same weekend that we wrote

"Be A Light" and "Want It Again"

Those kind of weekends hardly ever happen

Where you go out with one writing crew and

You end up writing five or six songs

And three of them end up making a project

So obviously, "Want It Again" and "Be A Light"

Were recorded last year

And "Bass Pro Hat"

Somebody had that title in their phone

And I just started playing this lick in open G tuning

And I love when I can't figure out anything else to say

I love tuning my guitar there

'Cause that's how Keith Richards plays his guitar in The Stones

And I just started singing melodies

And I think it was Josh Thompson was like

"My baby's got her Bass Pro Hat on"

And then we just thought like

"That's an interesting way to look at a title"

"Bass Pro Hat", what does that mean?

And so we literally started writing a song about

You know, me and Lauren just loving, living simple life

And the melody is so fun, the track is so fun

It sounded like a big ol' hit to us after we wrote it

And turned out so cool
