Well...hate to be the one to say something negative, but in case you really meant it when you asked for suggestions... Maybe it's just me, but it kind of seems like the 2nd verse pretty much says the same thing as the first one. As I writer, I make this mistake all the time, and I guess it's easier to see in other people's work. But if you could give us some different information in verse 2, that'd make it stronger, I think. Also, the "that Webster can't define" sounds, IMHO, a little too close to the line 'Old Mr. Webster could never define" in the song "When You Say Nothing At All"...it's such a unique line that I think your using it will make people think about the other song...and think that you just copied the line. As for the "down on the farm" part, maybe it's just me, but it seemed like it didn't really fit in with the rest of this lyric. It makes me think, "Well, wait a minute, why the heck WOULD we think this guy would be on the farm and not in his 3 bedroom brick house in the suburbs?" and then, when you mention the country club, well, okay, but the song doesn't really give any reason why this guy would go to a country club, either. i mean, not everyone is a country club member. so that means he's in the wealthier spectrum. i don't know, it's just my opinion, but i think if you spent more time developing this song...maybe introducing us to the singer a little more so we know who he is and we care about him. right now, you tell us in kind of generic terms that a beer in your hand and a woman in your arms makes you happy...can you elaborate on that more? make it stand out a little more? one more thing, and then i'll shut up: in the bridge, when you say "i could die a happy man if you fulfill my last request", it's really jarring, b/c we don't know who you're talking to. Picture it: the listener is in his car, listening to the singer tell about how these two things make him so happy, and then suddenly, it's like the singer addresses the listener personally, saying, "hey, you, by the way..." it's kind of jarring. hope that all makes sense! i like your concept, but i think it could lyrically be a lot better. hey, at least you've already got music for it! erin

Momof4, thanks for taking the time to give this one a listen. This lyric cames about in a weird sort of way. It was a co-write of Jeff Knight and myself. I see where you're coming from but I think we were going for a song here that was more musically oriented. I see your thought about the verses saying similiar things. I'll have to see if Jeff would like to pursue this any further. Thanks again for your comments. Marvin.
