Wow! I wish I had a six to share. As a country music fan, I can honestly say that these struck me as classic lyrics. You've got the hardcore elements here. The tone and timber is just right. If only Keith Whitley were here to sing this one. It's got his voice written all over it. I love the chorus; those sorts of lyrics can be traced back to the Carters and came on up through Hank Sr and Johnny Cash.
Awesome job. Awesome.

Awesome poem/song here. I kept reading and seeing so clearly the scenes - the sadness, the walls closing in, the patience of the woman, the heartbreak of the situation, knowing it will not change. The fear that she may leave one day. Love how you ended with the same verse - it kind of pulls it all together. The scenario is very believable and must happen quite a lot. Am glad that you can focus on a particular genre, which makes your work so much more believable and strong. Thank you very much for using my collage to illustrate. It is much appreciated and I am honored. Luv, Liilia

These are really good and I can definitely see this as a song. As I read along, I kinda had a little tune going in my head along with these words. Just my thought, but if you had a chorus line between your stanzas, you would have a great song. Seriously, I think you ought to check into finding some one that pays music and get these out there.

Your author's notes confirmed the very first opinion I had on reading your great lyrics. I thought, man this would really work as a Country Western song. Lo and behold that was the intention. In case no one has told you yet, they work very well. Good job.

I would like to write music but have no idea how. I do know that I like this piece of your very much. Will you put music to it or send to someone else to do. This fascinates me. Bottom line, I agree with you... it is very well done as a poem and story so it must be a great song. Thanks for sharing.

Got it but as a former charge nurse in a Psych and Rehab hospital, I perceive this in a different way. I've seen my share of drinkers and druggers along with the families that feel a purpose by always being there for them.

"My woman's wearing wings"--what a wonderful tribute to your better half! Your sincerity is nicely reflected in your verse with excellent rhyming. Thanks for sharing.

This does sound like a country western song looking for a singer. There is another site associated with this one called FanSong, but there does not seem to be a lot going on there. I tried it for a while but left. You may want to have a look though.

Sounds as he knows he has an Angel. One would think he would wish to please her by throwing Jack out the window. Besides, Jack has problem driving. Good strong worded poem.

this is well written. It is nice that he is honoring the loyalty of his wife in spite of him being an active alcoholic.He counts on her being there for him.this is a different viewpoint expressed than what I have read about alcoholics.Original and interesting.
