Country Boy - Lyric Feedback

by Serena
( Scotland, UK)

Well, I certainly aint no cowgirl
And you aint a country boy
I've never drove a pick-up truck
and you used to live in Detroit

We never went to no hoedowns
But it's not like we never had fun
I never owned no cowboy boots
And we never went to Jackson

I remember how you'd hum your favourite song
When you thought I was asleep
It was that night when we watched the stars
I thought you were one to keep

The next day I bought the record
That you kept humming along
I put it on my stereo on repeat
And listened to it all night long

And now everytime I hear his voice
Through the headphones in my ears
I cry at night and I wonder why
On earth you arent here

But it don't matter anymore
Last I heard, you'd found someone new
I tried that so many times
But I couldnt get over you

And then as time went by
I didn't cry when I heard that song
Then I realised I'd only loved you for
One whole summer long

But it don't matter anymore
'Cause I found someone new
And it took a while
But I now smile
'Cause I got over you

And I know that I'm no cowgirl
But he's a country boy
He's got his own pickup truck
And he's never been to Detroit

He was raised in downtown Nashville
Born and bred in Tennessee
He's got seven pairs of cowboy boots
And I know that he loves me

But sometimes when he's not around
I'll still play that old song
And I'm happy now
As I found out
Exactly what went wrong

We didn't match
But it's nobody's fault
It wasn't destined to be true
Turns out it was just a crush
And I never really loved you

But that don't matter anymore
'Cause I've got someone new
And it took a while
And I now smile
'Cause I let go of you

And I know that I'm no cowgirl
But he's a country boy
He's got his own pick-up truck
and he's never been to Detroit

(Instrumental)

And I know that I'm no cowgirl
But I'm in love with a country boy
And last I'd heard, you'd given up
And you'd moved back to Detroit










Thank you for reading!

Good song.
by: Anonymous

This song is pretty good.
Might think about shortening up the lyrics.
Unless it's like a real up-beat song.
Just a thought though, it's your work- not mine.
Good work though.

Great song!
by: Lisa

This is one of the best songs I've read so far. The flow is great. Towards the end there's a few spots where you might want to work on the way it flows but for the most part it is awesome. I'd really like to see what this sounds like when it is put to music.

Just my humble opinion hope this helps
by: Charlie

I had trouble with the ryme try this in your first verse

Well, I aint no cowgirl
And you aint no country boy
I've never drove a pick-up truck
and you ain't from Detroit

I really like this verse but try this for ryme

and headphones would be on not in your ears.

You said his voice are you talking about your boyfriend or the singer on the record?
try this

And now everytime I hear that voice
Through the headphones on my ears
I cry at night
and I wonder why On earth
are you not still right here


If this is your chorus think about this as a twist

But it don't matter anymore
Cause you found someone new
this has happened way too many times before
Now I'm gettin over you

2nd chorus
But it don't matter anymore
Cause I 've found someone new
And it may have taken me a while
But now i'm finally over you


I really like where you are going with this good story keep working keep it simple tell the most you can about the stiory in the fewest words
