Courtney, thanks for your feedback and I like your suggestion! It is not on the radio because it doesn’t sound contemporary enough in the world of pop country.

Nice job! A lot of things about this are very solid (musicians, lyrics, generally “in the pocket” in a number of ways)!!! [btw, question about the recording on this one—who and where—I thought the recording was really first-rate]
One small quibble: Bridge—a little too much of “C# min to B major” chord sequence—would have liked more interesting choice of chords on the bridge—of course, this may not even be noticed by a number of folks—I guess I was simply wanting the bridge to have more musical interest, and thereby set up more energyinterest in the last chorus.
Anyway, nice job—I think this one is worth “shopping around”—a very solid song!!!

We bought it off Miller’s lot by the State highway
Cost me two hot summers of buckin’ hay
You gave a rebel yell as we peeled outta’ that place
And that’s what made it fun
Girl you were always up
Four bald tires and the paint faded green,
my shotgun rider in her cutoff jeans
Radio blastin’ out some old Springsteen
Yeah and we rolled on,
man we were gone
Me and You in that OL’ WILLY’S Jeep
Makin’ promises that we couldn’t keep
Stayin’ out all night getting buzzed on the cheap
And everything was alright
When I held you tight
In that OL’ WILLY’S JEEP
Down that old mine road with your red hair flyin’,
Your eyes bluer than the Marshall Tucker sky,
Those lips lit me up like the Fourth of July
Yeah and we were free,
baby you and me
Parkin’ out by the lake in the still of the night,
rocking you gently to the hum of the pines
Whisperin’ I love you I was out of my mind
And head over heels,
the way you made me feel
(Chorus)
Well our love burned bright like those KC lights that turned the darkness into day
Like fireflies in a jar you only go so far until it starts to fade away
Now I’m dreaming, always dreaming, you’ve got me dreaming
of all the things I should have told you, wishing I could still hold you
(Chorus)
In that OL’ WILLY’S JEEP
(repeat, ad lib to end)

Well done! Why isn’t this on the radio? One minor suggestion in the chorus; substitute “making promises we couldn’t keep” to “making promises we’d never keep.” Just my only criti
