This is a very well-written song. The lyrics are engaging and easy to follow along with. I could imagine this tune as a song playing on the radio. Excellent job!

I thought I read the winning form moments ago but this rings the bell more for me for its simplicity, which is a given in most country songs, save for agoraphobia, but even that worked after I looked up what it was. Much too strenuous though for most C/W listeners.

This is a great song. It is the best I have read thus far. I like how you formatted it with headings. I was trying to imagine what the melody would be. The font size is large enough to be read. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest. You have a great entry and probably my vote unless I find better. Great stuff!

Very nice! I'd love to hear some music behind these words. You have included many county tropes and It was really funny. Thank you so much for sharing!

Well he got a dose full force of I don't cares. His world is spinning to fast to catch up fast. Soon he will be sleeping out doors. Singing his sad song of woe is me.

Gosh, this poor cowboy so
down on his luck. I hope his
luck improves. I have heard
stories about some people
suffering misfortune after
winning the lottery. Then again, I'm taking the poem too seriously, lol! You've
penned this country song so
well. Blessings!

Perfect response to the prompt. What a great country song full of woe and lament. I loved the rye humor in some of the parts and the chorus was very effective. Well done.

This is priceless! I loved this and especially, "my wife's done left me." So sorry about your horse. A serious song of lament with a little grin at the end.

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sally :))
