BRAND NEW SINGLE – “7500 OBO”
Tim McGraw’s brand new single, “7500 OBO,” centers on a truck, but it’s really a song about heartbreak. “‘7500 OBO’ is about a guy who’s trying to get rid of his truck that he loves because there’s too many memories of his girlfriend in it.”
For people not familiar with the acronym ‘OBO,’ Tim explains that it means “Or Best Offer,” because the guy in the song, “he’s just tryin’ to get rid of the truck because he can’t get in it anymore because all he thinks about is his girlfriend and all the great fun that they had and the times they had together.”
So he’s asking for $7500 for the truck, but he’s open to other offers, and he’ll take the best one, because Tim says, “He keeps picturing her beside him in the truck, so he’s gotta get rid of the damn truck so he can move on with his life.”
“7500 OBO” is off of Tim’s latest album, Here on Earth.”
