How it sounds
wedding barn, a spotlight on the empty dance floor, a white dress hanging beside cowboy boots, fairy lights

Sample excerpt
They cleared the floor and everybody stepped back, and for about four minutes it was just us two. You whispered that your shoes were killing you, and I said don't worry, I've got you the whole way.
Just hold on, I've got you, don't look at them, this song's the only thing we have to do. Everything after this is complicated, right now it's four minutes and your hand.
Workshop note — Second person, past into present, tender and specific. The first-dance country song must feel usable at a real wedding: no irony, no conflict, one concrete detail. At 72 BPM keep lines short and singable.
