Mark, I'm probably being as thick as two planks here, but I don't quite understand the question. blush

Do you mean that you can't write lyrics with logical sequences, and you'd like to? Or that you do write logical lyrics, but would prefer to write something more vague and cryptic?

As I understand it, for most genres, a clear and consistent story is desirable. (In genres like New Age, prog-rock, heavy metal, and so on, one can get away with a lot more fanciful stuff.) In country, however, things need to be clear, with plenty of visual imagery and a conversational tone.

Do you write in a specific genre?

Good suggestion from Colin: Perhaps post a lyric here or to one of the Lyrics Feedback forums. (Forum 3 gets the most traffic.)
