Did a quick mix before I left my buddy's house. It's close to what I want but needs some dialing in. IMO, background VOX need to come up and the guitar is a little loud. A technical question: The lead VOX is a bit honky and has the tunnel sound. What frequency is that to bring down?I would appreciate any feedback on lyrics/song structure, etc...Also, I have had 3 rejections all my songs, saying great songs, wrong listing. I have a hard time differentiating contemporary country and neo-traditional. It's pretty easy to figure out traditional country. What would you consider this?Thanks a load, yall'!!!www.taxi.com/jwhamptonSouthern Girl (Northern Wife)I sat across you at the breakfast tableMy grits were colder than my cup of coffeeYou hid yourself behind the morning paperWhistling Old Glory way out of keyAll my work shirts were still in the hamperCouldn’t find my keys to save my lifeWell it’s a quarter to eight and I’m running lateYou don’t even get up to kiss me goodbye(Chorus)You were my southern girl from a southern worldTee shirts and cut off jeans, you left your hair in curlsGot me a northern wife, become the Nordstrom typeWe should have never left our Dixie lifeYou’re my southern girl, northern wifeI’ve never bothered keeping up with the Jones’sI work hard at what I got and that’s just fineOur new life was supposed to bring us closerI’m still drinking beer but you’ve switched to wineYou spend your days spending all our moneyTook a second mortgage on your nip and tuckAll your Prada bags, outfits with Gucci tagsYou drive a new Mercedes, sold my old pick up truck(Chorus)(Bridge)You’ve lost your roots, threw out your cowboy bootsIt’s all gone to your headA Southern man’s gotta take a standWe’re heading to our Georgia spread(Chorus)You are my southern girl from a southern worldTee shirts and cut off jeans, you leave your hair in curlsHad me a northern wife, became the Nordstrom typeWe never should have left our Dixie lifeYou’re my southern girl, a southern lifeSouthern girl, Northern wife

Hey John, I really like the chorus/hook here, would consider repeating the first chorus at the end. The first verse and the second verse have different feels to me, maybe use the "used to do this, now you do that" theme throughout (1st verse), just an idea (I off genre so please factor that in). Production sounds good. Geo

Thanks for taking the time to listen Geo. It means a lot.
