Vince Gill – It’s Hard To Kiss The Lips
“It’s Hard To Kiss The Lips” is one of those songs that sneaks up on you with a grin and a wink. It’s a cheeky tune that manages to blend humor with a touch of real-life honesty—a mix that only certain country songs can truly pull off. The song speaks to the inevitable quirks and frustrations that come with long-term relationships, especially when that initial spark fades and the little annoyances start to become more apparent. But instead of being a downer, this song turns that reality into something you can laugh at, reminding us that love, in all its imperfect glory, is still something to treasure.
The song’s lyrics are what make it stand out. They capture that mix of love and exasperation in a way that’s both relatable and hilarious. You can’t help but picture the scenarios it describes, nodding along as if the songwriter has been spying on your own relationship. And that’s the beauty of it—it’s playful, it’s real, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s like a conversation you’d have with your best friend, venting about your partner’s quirks, but with that underlying message that at the end of the day, it’s all part of the package.
Musically, the song has that classic country feel—easy-going and melodic, with just enough twang to give it that down-home charm. It’s the kind of tune that would be right at home at a backyard barbecue, where everyone’s gathered around, drinks in hand, sharing stories and laughs. It’s comforting in its familiarity, yet clever enough to keep you coming back for more.
This song isn’t just about the lyrics or the melody; it’s about the way it captures a universal truth with humor and heart. It reminds us that love isn’t always perfect, but it’s those imperfections that often make it all the more special. So, when the lips you’re kissing have driven you crazy all day long, this song is there to help you smile through it, and maybe even laugh a little too
