Yeah', you certainly softened the blow quite a bit lol...
I obviously took "walked on by" from Kay. I liked that bit.

But, I'm not thinking country, or structure right now for that matter.
I'm thinking hard rock to avoid any association with "Mama Tried".

It's got decent rhythm, now I just need a riff.

"She swore she’d never hurt him..."

That's worth considering, fits right in wink
Simple edit... Thanx for the remitted offering.
