Oh come on!!!!! I can promise you that most people who hear this song will have NO idea how advanced it is! "no more crawling or waiting for her call and" is one of the MANY examples of what's going on. More obvious, but EXTREMELY effective..."this is gonna stop....right here." I'll let everyone else give you praise. You simply ticked me off   Once again, stellar!

Clever lyrics good melody, catchy chorus, well sung, liked the pause after "this has gotta stop".
Another excellent composition.

this boy's done feeling like some
headlight-paralyzed deer
the rest of me might just keep on running
but the heart stops here
Love that payoff for the chorus!! If I listed all of the great things about this, I'd kill a virtual tree (too many 1's and 0's). Fantastic song "angle", great lyrics, and music/vocals/mix to complete a wonderful delivery. Floyd continues to bat 1000!! Great, fun stuff Floyd!! Take care. Greg

Super! Your Lyrics are marvelous! The song is very tight and right in the pocket.
(on my second listen, I wondered how it might feel with a modulation at the second verse?)
What you did with the reverb at the brakes was great, and I smiled at your vocal "here-rrrr" in the fade-out.

Floyd,
Great song, great story line. So ‘no more slow dancing” you lament, who needs it, just give me more of this ‘Rocking drive, for a cheer up, it really works for me.

Cool retro country rocker.... it moves along nicely.
Good job on the lyric crafting.
I like the production chops too.

Hi Floyd,
great lyrics. "this boy's done feeling like some headlight-paralyzed deer". I love this imagery.
Music, vocals and mix are outstanding as always.
Another of your hits.
I really enjoyed my listens.

Cool lyrics to take the usual grief based story and slap it around with clever lines and a cool melody.
Now, I wonder when BIAB will have some Brownsville styles.
Cool work floyd jane.
Cheers

several comments: so many songwriters neglect the beginning of songs and their song has a hard time getting off the ground . . . not this song . . . the beginning catches you the minute you start listening! I like to use double entendres in music, so when I hear someone else do it, I smile to myself. when you did a break at "this is gonna stop....right here", I was like YES! Good Job! way to drive home the point using the music to emphasize the point! I like the emphasis with the drums on "the rest of me might just keep on running" - I think I would have even seen you take it out another bar so I could run far enough away  very well constructed and thought out sound Floyd! Blessings!

Your "recognition" is appreciated, for sure. Have to say... I was pretty tickled about crawling/call and/falling... Thanks, buddy...

Hi Floyd.
A great song with a fabulous sound and a loud mix mix which doesn't sound over-compressed.
What a very, VERY clever arrangement. Holds your attention from the first bar to the last.
Super professional as ever, Floyd.
ROG.
