Here are some suggestions...The chorus x2 is way too much. I would save that for an outro and fade at the end of the song.There is no consistent rhyming pattern. Sometimes you can get away with that, but when sending to publishers, they immediately look for that. For film and TV, I have found that the general sound and subject matter can overshadow that requirement. If you were pitching this to publishers for artists, especially Nashville, this would most likely be a show-stopper.When labeling verses and choruses on a lyric sheet, mark as "Verse 1", Verse 2", "Chorus", etc. If you sent this to a publisher like this they might thing it has no chorus and not even listen.Of course, these are the 90% rules, there are exceptions... But best to play by the rules... Best regards Casey
