The songs cool. I wrote more feedback, but cut it because, hell, this already long. My thoughts. The biscuit line is not strong enough. She is painted as sexy, then that line. Maybe it’s supposed to bring her back down to earth. Though after that line it was hard for me to get back into the song. Maybe I’m the only one though. The starting was cool. The wings not fitting. The “And golden halos always slip
Right off ‘a my head” threw me though. But the opening line was enough to sustain the interest. Then with the “When I’m three drinks in” brought back my attention.  Like ok, what’s she up too. Pretty good up until biscuits for me. Then the rest was nice after those two lines. “I wear my apron when I’m baking biscuits
And I cross my legs whenever I’m sittin’”

The last little bit. Sittin’ didn’t come across as that from the start. I actually didn’t even listen to this line the first time, because I was so hung up, an apron and biscuits. Here was this image of this fun attractive, lets go out on the town, then I’m brought back to kitchen. Made me think of my mother. When I listened through a second time. The sittin’ part was unclear. I only knew what it ment because I read the lyrics.

I like the song, mostly because of the phrasing and the “opposite” lyric images (white dress, muddy truck, etc)  But I do agree with Brandon that the apron / biscuits line doesn’t work for me either because it doesn’t give that opposite image. I rather see her in a teddy baking biscuits!  (yep, I would! LOL).  Also, the pronunciation of the word “sittin’” was garbled.  Overall, real good work!

I keep trying on wings but they don’t fit
And golden halos always slip
Right off ‘a my head
When I’m three drinks in
Dancing in my bare feet
Trying to keep it classy
But ending up just a little white trashy

CHORUS:
Oh, I drink my whiskey from a teacup
Wear my white lace dress inside your muddy pickup truck
Sunday heels on a Friday night
Yeah, I walk a real fine line
Trying to keep my wild side
Ladylike

I wear my apron when I’m baking biscuits
And I cross my legs whenever I’m sittin’
I swear I don’t swear
At least not much
But when I’m with Jack I’d make a sailor blush
