I love this! Killer all around, gals. Placing the hook in the lifts works very well to break the cliché of always starting out with the big cahuna in the chorus, IMO.
Twisting the story into the positive towards the end works really well, in this case also!
If anything, the melody (and maybe the whole demo) may sound a little 80'ies, and in the first few listens the chorus sounds a little off, due to what we have come to expect of these types of songs. In technical terms this is absolutely not contemporary country, but traditional, due to the groove of the song.
But this aspires to be a classic song, of which I think it succeeds in, and then these things may not be a dealbreaker.
I would love to hear a Martina, Lee Ann or Reba add this to their repertoire! One for the traditionalists, for sure, but a great one!
If we should vote for best lyric of the year in here, I would definitely nominate this.

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
