Marty Dodson commented on Dave Dutch Miller's lyric:
"Yes, Meredith. The first line of the bridge takes what we have been talking about in the moment and starts looking toward the future with every day ending this way. Instead of saying more in the moment stuff, we are talking about where this moment is going to take them and what the future will be like with someone so rare. The new river is crossing over into the future and imagining what this amazing woman will do to his life going forward."
(more)"Everyone, remember that on the bridge, we want to say something new and move the story along and not just say more of the same thing. My first publisher always said, "don't build a brige unless there is a river to cross". So, let's make sure we have something BIG to say that advances the story!"
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Dave Dutch Miller's lyric:
"Yes! It's jello! But Dave those are some great notes on where it could go. I am open to all suggestions. The song knows what it wants to be when it's all grown up. And of course it could be written many ways. Don Schlitz once said to me "we just gotta write it the best out of all the other writers!""
(more)"To me, what she's playing sounds like a chorus, not V1. I envision this song to be along the lines of "Inspite of Ourselves". V1 could be her teasing him about his believes: And I'm never gonna change his mind. V2, him teasing her about hers. And I'm never gonna change her mind. Whether it be a duet, or adjusted for either gender (I'm never gonna change her/his mind, and she's/he's never gonna change my mind), the bridge would be: Maybe we don't agree, but one thing's for sure. We are meant for each other, and in it for the long haul, and no one's ever gonna change OUR mind(s)."

"Can we get up now? My back's startin to hurt / Gotta rustle up some chow, check the Dow, milk the cow / Where did you say you work?"
Marty Dodson commented on Dave Dutch Miller's lyric:
"You"ve got some cool stuff here. I like the way you approached the first 4 lines especially. "
(more)"Someone so rare / who makes me a little nervous / Someone so rare / who leaves me a little wordless / Not everyone sees it / but Baby believe it / You’re a home grown, full blown, hold the phone, roll your own, bad to the bone, never cloned, Queen of thrones, precious stone, They broke the mold, I swear / to someone so rare"
Marty Dodson commented on Dave Dutch Miller's lyric:
"This would be an interesting opening for a story song!"
(more)"Starin’ at a showcase in a pawn shop, Great Grandpa’s gold pocket watch in my sweaty hand. My anxious heart was poundin nonstop. I was about to trade my treasure for a stone on a band. or: Trading his watch for a ring, but I knew he’d understand."
"My mom hated your mom. And your mom hated mine / Both sets of brothers about to throw down / But the preacher showed up just in the nick of time."
"There's an overgrown rose bush in the backyard / at the end of a flagstone path / it's pretty but / I get cut / everytime I mow the grass. / I should dig it up / or tear it out / it's just a stupid ole plant / but we cared for that shrub / like a symbol of out love / so when push comes to shove / I just can't."
