Aaron, who hails from Auburn, Indiana, was surrounded by music growing up. After a brief stint in college; his father Jeoffrey, a professional gospel singer, invited Aaron to tour with him. Together they played more than 130 concerts annually for several years and recorded three CD's. The experience sculpted Aaron to the techniques of duo singing, which may be one reason why he never quite hit the jackpot after leaving to seek his fortunes as a solo artist.
Scott, who was born in Delight, Arkansas - and raised in Los Angeles started singing at an early age with his Uncle Jack; but, his strongest musical influence came from close family friend, Glenn Campbell. After high school, Scott, who had been acting as well as playing music, picked up work in commercials and on television shows.
Aaron and Scott teamed up after meeting on a music video in Nashville five years ago. It was an instant brotherhood! The two were inseparable! After years of friendship, and a bit of gentle pressure from their wives - the guys decided to see how it felt to sing together. They discovered not only did they have a perfect friendship, but also perfect harmonies!
One fateful day, the duo made it to Curb Records. There, they sat down in front of Doug Johnson, the A&R director for the new Asylum subsidiary, and performed. When they were finished, the first words out of Doug's mouth were "Man, one of you is really gonna have to screw this up to not make it work." With that, Blue County was officially born. Scott and Aaron have finished their sophomore album and it will be released very soon. Their new single "I Get To" can be heard on a radio station near you.
Time Well Spent
Blue County Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Schitz and Innocence
Half a pack of daddy's cigarettes and
A casset of Jimmy Hendrix
We parked beside the railroad tracks
Kick back and wonder what it might be like
If we were president
Let another fade away, wastin' time well spent
Chorus:
A million miles of dirt road dust
Learnin' love or lovin' lust
Tastin' life as it came to us
On a dead end road that had no end
Wishin' we could make time fly
Not knowin' it was flyin' by
While we were makin' plans
That didn't make sense
Waistin' time, waistin' time, waistin' time
Well spent
She matched my tuxedo
To a 't' in those pictures
On my floor
As I stared at me, I could finally see
What she saw when she said
She couldn't see me anymore
But I'll never forget the night
We parked that prom night ride
On the side of a road
We've never been
And let another day fade away
Waistin' time well spent
Chorus:
A million miles of durt road dust
Learnin' love or lovin' lust
Tastin' life as it came to us
On a dead end road that had no end
Wishin' we could make time fly
Not knowin' it was flyin' by
While we were makin' plans
That didn't make sense
Waistin' time, waisitn' time, waistin' time
Well spent
Bridge:
Bitter sweet what might have been
Comes to mind every now and then
Makes me want to go back again
Waste some time, waste some time, waste some
Time well spent
Chorus:
A million miles of durt road dust
Learnin' love or lovin' lust
Tastin' life as it came to us
On a dead end road that had no end
Wishin' we could make time fly
Not knowin' it was flyin' by
While we were makin' plans
That didn't make sense
Waistin' time, waistin' time, waisitn' time
Well spent

Line by Line Meaning
That '73 Monte Carlo had a car load of Schitz and Innocence
Our car was filled with both chaos and purity
Half a pack of daddy's cigarettes and a casset of Jimmy Hendrix
We had my father's cigarettes and music from Jimmy Hendrix to keep us company
We parked beside the railroad tracks, kick back and wonder what it might be like if we were president
We stopped beside the train tracks, relaxed and imagined what it would be like if we were the leader of our land
Let another fade away, wastin' time well spent
We let time pass without regret, for we knew it was worth it
A million miles of dirt road dust, learnin' love or lovin' lust, tastin' life as it came to us, on a dead end road that had no end
We had journeyed through countless rough roads, experiencing both love and lust, tasting every aspect of life on a journey that seemed never-ending
Wishin' we could make time fly, not knowin' it was flyin' by, while we were makin' plans that didn't make sense
We wished time would pass by quickly, oblivious that it was already flying by, while we made pointless plans without realizing it
She matched my tuxedo to a 't' in those pictures on my floor as I stared at me, I could finally see what she saw when she said she couldn't see me anymore
When looking at pictures of us together, I finally saw myself the way she did when she said that she couldn't see me anymore.
But I'll never forget the night we parked that prom night ride on the side of a road we've never been and let another day fade away wastin' time well spent
I'll always remember that night we parked our car on an unfamiliar road, and let time pass without regret
Bitter sweet what might have been comes to mind every now and then makes me want to go back again, waste some time, waste some time, waste some
I can't help but think about what could have been, and sometimes wish to go back in time to waste more time with her
Time well spent
The time we spent together was worth every moment
