Jam of the Week: "Eighteen Inches" by Lauren Alaina

It's likely that you haven't heard of Lauren Alaina. She's one of many shoulda-coulda-woulda American Idol hopefuls who just didn't make a big impact after coming in second place on the show's tenth season. Still, her song "Eighteen Inches" is a jam. Written by Carrie Underwood but ultimately scrapped from her third album, the song talks about the dumb decisions you make when you're in love. After all, "there is no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart."
