Yes it is, so do it now.

A quick turnaround F-G-Am as a little refrain or semi bridge somewhere should do the trick. You could throw some lyrics on it too to hammer home your thought line. This type of turn around allows you to get right back to your Am vibe easily and not disturb the flow I feel a little musical variety would take this up a notch since your solo is still on the Am. BTW, I like the Acoustic Guitar solo, but since it is the same Am vibe, I would get a little contrast in here somewhere Just a thought...

But since I nailed it at 3:40, I figure I'll save that for the live album https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandid=1449856

Just felt it needed a change of pace there and drags on a bit into verse 3. With the solo after verse 2, then consider adding some of acoustic guitar flourishes at the end of each line on the 3rd and 4th verses (call and response style). This keeps the song the same length but brings the solo up to the 1:30 mark, provides more build towards the end and gives some contrast between the repeated first and fourth verse. ..ant My albums "Rhythms of Life" and "Out On The Road" are on Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.

I've actually been messing around with adding little piano bits after the 2nd verse to break things up, but I haven't found the right "funky" chord yet... It'll come to me lol. Thanks for dredging this one back up Anthony https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandid=1449856
