I think you've basically done a good job with this but it could have been tighter. Bring those drums up and make that snare crack and drive the song! I think it's more R & B than modern country.

The prechorus felt a line too long. Listen to modern country. Now they do either 1 line or 3 as a build, not 4. You could have built up "rolls in like thunder" and it would have felt tighter...it's the little things that make a good song a very good song. Nice start.
