When I think of well written songs, this one comes to mind.

"Maybe It Was Memphis" ..... a song written by Michael Anderson.

The imagery in the lyrics is brilliant. Structure is sound and melody is great.

Have a listen and pay attention to the lyrics in all the verses. This is a good example of how to write a country song.
