My gawd, wait a few days and what do I walk into!? Dallas and us DO rhyme. Period. It's dialect rhyme, but it's rhyme. A downeaster won't read it that way (all my relatives), a spaniard won't read it that way, and us fruits and nuts land folks won't either, but I hear it like that every day with the Dallas people I talk to.

Non issue.

This is a classic example of a commercial, popular song, Blake. Is it literature? Nope. Who cares. It gets our simple hearts and simple minds pumping with reminiscences.

Works damn good for me.

I might change the frist word of the last line of the chorus from "to" to "for" though. And it seems you've cleaned it up a lot since first post. It feels much smoother now than I remember first reading it a few days ago.

Good work, Blake. [Linked Image]
