Backstory:
Jan and I got together to write a few years back. He came in with a melody that I thought was pretty cool. It was one of those songs where we didn't start off with a hook but followed the story of the verses. Pretty In Blue came to me as something that felt like it fit (way before "Blue Ain't Your Color" was ever released, by the way!). We brought it to Chip Martin to help polish it up and give it that boost up we felt it needed to be a finished song.
Lyrics:
Pretty In Blue

I couldn’t help but notice
You sitting here alone
One eye on the front door
The other on your phone
Hey, what’s that you’re drinking?
Is it a straight tequila night?
I don’t know who hurt you
And put the red in those green eyes (But)
Chorus:
You look pretty in blue
Under the glow of a neon night
I know that look and I think I might
Know what you’re going through
Girl, I’ve been there too
If you don’t mind me saying so
I just had to let you know
You sure look pretty in blue
If you feel like talking
I’d love to sit with you a while
Has anybody told you
You’ve got the sweetest saddest smile
Bridge:
Don’t worry about your make up
Sometimes tears are gotta fall
If you need a shoulder
I don’t mind at all
