Every album has that one song that artists tend to build the entire project around. In Lee Ann Womack's case, when she heard "I May Hate Myself in the Morning," that was the song. The tune, penned solely by Odie Blackmon, was the lead single from Womack's There's More Where That Came From album that was released in 2004 on MCA Nashville.
"I wrote that one by myself," Blackmon tells Roughstock of Womack's Top 10 hit single. "That was a true story. It was something I was going through at the time. I was actually living in a house that was a duplex next door to the girl I wrote the song about.
"It has become a sticky situation," adds Blackmon. "That song poured out in 30 minutes. One morning, I was just down about the whole deal, and I didn't have a co-write, but I had a guitar. It just kind of poured out. I sat there looking at it on the page while playing my cassette back, going man ... I think this is really, really good."
