Floyd, another well written song. Great production chops as usual.
Yes, this flows nicely.....
regarding rhymes.....
Macon rhymes nicely with BACON..... perhaps next time... huh? (wink wink)

hi floyd!
great production – you really got a voice that "is perfect from this style of country", as alyn said!
there are so many great details in the arrangement , i would loved to hear the song with a little less drums, just a to make all the other things shine even more molsenhouse - thanks. Drums are always a BIG part of (most of) my productions. Everything I listen to these days is based on up-front drums.... commercial Country, pop/rock type things, etc. Drums are a real foundation these days (I often suggest to people they need to turm 'em up...). That being said, these were a bit loud. Rather than turned them down, due to your comment, I remixed to bring out some details in other instruments... a little more clarity to the piano. a little bit of "crisp" to the acoustic. some volume to the banjo... Drums should be big, but not to the extent to hide the details... Thanks.

Floyd, this is really, really good. Fantastic lyrics, put together with a great feel. Just loved the way you used the double-rhyming like Noel mentioned. Very nice touch.
Definitely should be in the C&W Charts
Going back for another listen right now! Trev Trevor - always appreciate you droppin by for a listen. Thanks for all those nice things... Driving to Florida by way of Atlanta, making it to Macon was always the pit stop for us too. Cool idea for a song.
Solid write - well crafted country song - well sung. Gets me feeling good routing for the guy to get his girl back. I think Al might be on to something with dirtying up the production a bit but also agree that's it's fine as it is too and could go either way. There's lots to like here. I especially liked those higher parts added to the harmony.
Josie Josie - appreciate you "headin' down the highway" with us on this one! Always glad to "catch your ear"  Hi there Floyd, As usual, another fine country song (although we never made it to Macon  ) We think this song has one of those classic country themed lyrics. Great quality and the same goes for Janice's background vocals. Regards, Rob and Anne-Marie R&AM - Thanks for all of that! We appreciate it! Yep been on I75 in GA a number of times.
You have the knack for taking every day events and turning them into great country songs. This is no exception. As I have said many times I don't know why you are not signed yet. Each and every song that I have heard from you and you and Janice is ready for airtime IMHO.
Another winner! Mario - You say the nicest things! Country ought to be about "every day events"... ah, the good ol' days, eh?....

Hi Floyd,
I'm sorry I'm so late, but I had troubles with my new notebook. Now I finally can listen again.
This is one of your stories I like so much.
And I like the Janettes!
Only thing I can say about this production: professional.
Guenter Hi Guenter. No such things as late... Thanks for the spin... Floyd, another well written song. Great production chops as usual.
Yes, this flows nicely.....
regarding rhymes.....
Macon rhymes nicely with BACON..... perhaps next time... huh? (wink wink) Thanks, Herb... I should have had him stop for breakfast!

Floyd,
Great song. I've only been down I75 through Macon once, but I can definitely relate.
Thanks for post.
