Introduction
Have you ever had one of those nights where the weight of a memory feels heavier than the world around you? That’s the kind of moment Scotty McCreery captures so perfectly in Cab in a Solo. It’s not just a song—it’s a story, a snapshot of heartbreak wrapped in the warm, familiar tones of McCreery’s deep, soulful voice. If you’ve ever been in love, lost it, and found yourself replaying it all in your head, this song will hit you right in the feels.
At its core, Cab in a Solo is about the bittersweet ache of moving on—or trying to. The song paints a vivid picture of someone sitting alone in the back of a cab, drowning in the echoes of a love that’s no longer there. The clever play on words in the title (a mix of “cab” and “Cabernet”) sets the tone for a night of reflection, where the only company is a glass of wine and the memories that refuse to fade. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s the kind of song that makes you feel like Scotty is sitting right there with you, sharing the pain.
What makes this song so special is how relatable it is. We’ve all had those moments where a song on the radio, a familiar street, or even the smell of a certain perfume brings back a flood of emotions we thought we’d buried. McCreery’s delivery is so heartfelt, you can’t help but feel every word. His voice carries a mix of vulnerability and strength, making the song feel like a conversation with an old friend who just gets it.
Musically, Cab in a Solo leans into McCreery’s signature country style, blending a modern sound with classic storytelling. The gentle strumming of the guitar and the subtle, melancholic undertones of the melody create the perfect backdrop for the lyrics. It’s the kind of song you’d play on a quiet drive home, letting the words sink in as the world outside blurs into the background.
For Scotty McCreery fans, this track is another reminder of why he’s one of country music’s most authentic voices. He has a way of taking everyday emotions and turning them into something extraordinary. And for those who might be new to his music, Cab in a Solo is the perfect introduction to his ability to connect on a deeply personal level.
So, the next time you’re nursing a broken heart or just need a song to remind you that you’re not alone in your feelings, give Cab in a Solo a listen. It’s not just a song—it’s a companion for those quiet, reflective moments we all go through.

Lyrics
I’ve sent a dozen text and I ain’t heard jack
I guess she’s busy playing hard to get back
So I bought her roses and her favorite wine
Thinking we’d be making up in no time
But I’m parked out here on her street
Looks like the joke’s on me
Sitting here, I can’t believe what I just saw
Couple shadows kissing on her bedroom wall
It’s looking like my plan didn’t work out at all
Heartbreak turned into broke up
So now I’m finding out how a heartbreak taste
With a Silver Oak, 1998
Drinking Cab in a solo, solo in the cab
Of my truck
Yeah I thought about taking it back to the store
‘Cause it’s the nicest bottle that I ever paid for
But then again if I had that money back
I’d just find a bar and go run up a tab
I could go for a whiskey, I could go for a beer
But hell I’m already here
Sitting here, I can’t believe what I just saw
Couple shadows kissing on her bedroom wall
It’s looking like my plan didn’t work out at all
Heartbreak turned into broke up
So now I’m finding out how a heartbreak taste
With a Silver Oak, 1998
Drinking Cab in a solo, solo in the cab
Of my truck
She just turned out the lights
Guess she meant it when she said goodbye
Man I swear I can’t believe what I just saw
Couple shadows kissing on her bedroom wall
It’s looking like my plan didn’t work out at all
Heartbreak turned into broke up
So now I’m finding out how a heartbreak taste
With a Silver Oak, 1998
Drinking Cab in a solo, solo in the cab
Of my truck
Yeah I’m drinking Cab in a solo, solo in the cab
Of my truck
