Sample excerpt

You texted me a photo of your grandmother's front porch, said the swing still creaks in the exact same spot. I've never been to Georgia and I know that porch by heart 'cause you describe things like you're handing them to me.

Take me where you're from, I wanna see it, the gas station, the church, the field, the whole thing. I don't need a vacation, I just wanna know where you learned to be like this.

Workshop noteSecond person, present, warm and modern. Country pop mixes contemporary detail with traditional imagery: keep the hook conversational. At 104 BPM the chorus should land inside the first fifty seconds.
