Vocal sounds like it's in a different space than the band, is a bit boomy as well as too above the music. Vocal performance is good, IMO.
 
The song is good.
 
 

Steve,
 
I have a friend who also suffers from PTSD and as well as one can understand it (from a distance) I'm truly moved by the lyric.
 

This is bizarre. I had no idea that all of these comments were made.  Thanks. I'm going to remix this taking the comments into account.

Well that took pretty much my entire day today!    Ok, an entirely new mix. 
* New vocals.  I wanted to try my new Slate VMS. This is the U67 model
*New lead guitar parts
*New pedal steel thru out song.
*This is addictive drums. 
I spent a lot of time with automation panning with guitar parts and the steel. 
Reverb is Lexicon PCM Vintage Plate and  Reverberate 2 Bricasti plate fusion ir.
No compresson used on main mix buss.
No limiter.
Main Buss consisted of:
Slate VBC
Slate Virtual Tape
Insight
SPAN
MASTERING:
UAD Manley Massive Passive Mastering EQ
Used minimal compression for mastering. (Ozone 7 simple glue preset tweaked)
This is addictive drums. 
 
I am a bit puzzled as I only Scored 9 on the TT Dynamic Range Meter. Since the only compression was a tiny bit on the mastering, that is kind of weird. Possibly I hit the 2 track 2 inch tape machine too hard? 
 
Thanks for the comments and tips. Out of curiosity, have any of you done the crowd review at Reverb Nation?  I did two tunes a couple years ago. It is brutal and if you submit a country tune, forget it. Some of the reviews were just incredibly clueless and some were actually mean spirited simply because it was country. I got a 5 on one song and a 5.6 on another. Positive comments like "I hate this type of music".  It's a scam.

Steve,
 
Honestly, Nashville is inundated with ersatz country music.  While it's healthy for their genre (the business), they also resent country-wannabe s (unless he or she goes to your church, then it's ok).  I've gotten that as well THIS ISN"T COUNTRY MUSIC..etc, etc.  Just say what ya gotta say...and put it out there.   :D:D  There are the same *orthodoxies* in other of the panoply of genres.  It's all just music in the end. 

Steve, this is a fine song with good lyrics and good performances.  You have a vintage country voice that fits this song very well.  My only suggestion would be to bring the vocal more into the room by cutting back on the reverb a bit.  I hear a drier, Johnny Cash-like sound.  That's all, kudos!
