Wow this is HEAVY country. I realize you're emphasizing the piano, but a bit of distorted guitar might help balance that bass. Alternatively, put some space between the notes of the bass as it really is overwhelming throughout and there's very little contrast to the sections of the song.
You have a great opportunity in the bridge to drop the bass to pianissimo while she's singing about her friends seeing her looking at him, then build to a climax as the bass kicks in again for the third verse.

In the third verse she sings "I'm so shy..." which is kind of expected, what if she sings "I'm a barfly..." just a thought.

The banjo sounds like it was played on a keyboard(?). There's something about the twang of the strings when played on the real thing that I'm not hearing.

Hope this helps.

Michael
