Tunemonger,

There are many ways to comment on a song, so let's get right to it:

1) is it a pleasing listen? Oh yeah! Very nice in fact!
2) how's the mix? To my ear it sounds very clean and well-panned
3) use of real tracks: The gold standard of RT use is whether or not you get the tracks to work together as seamlessly as real musicians playing on the same stage. Mission accomplished!
4) Lyrics : The meter of the words is perfect for the melody... it doesn't feel forced at all. And although I'm not one who listens to much country music, I do live in the south, so I know how country people turn a phrase. Your choice of words here sounds mostly authentic to me. Such phrases as "She tells me I ain't worth a dime" and "Who knows, might even make her up and run" are exactly the sort of thing I might hear from a friend here in North Carolina. On the other hand, some of the lyrics are borderline yankeefied. I'd never expect to hear this line in spoken conversation in the south: "The guilt it will be magnified" (unless Yoda moved to Raleigh...) Granted, lyrics are typically sung differently than they would be spoken... but the best lyrics are crafted in such a way as to make it sound like a real conversation.

Of all the considerations above, I'd put the most emphasis on listenability, and in that arena this song absolutely SLAYS!
