Cool tune/production... the vox seems a little over-compressed to me...
love the lyrics...

Great song! I could use some of that story myself(I hate my job). Nice sound and guitar playing all around, and the vocals are twangy and cool.

Thanks a lot Moe. Country is uncharted territory for me so I was just trying to have some fun with it. Thank you for your kind words on the guitars and vocals.

Thanks for the kind words notnat! I wanted the vox to be way out there in front to convey the frustration I was feeling at the situation, as I really was freaking out when it happened. Maybe I over-conveyed that! :) Glad you liked the lyrics. Life can be a great inspiration for songs!

I like it!  You have a good twangy vocal delivery there ... very listenable and not too compressed by modern country standards, I don't think.  Good mix ... if I were producing this, I might put a bit more verb on the lead guitar licks, but otherwise it's fine.
 
The song itself is good.  Two suggestions:  I might save the title for the chorus instead of having it in the first verse, and the song seems to end too soon.  Maybe repeat a variation of the chorus?  Overall, good work!
 
Cheers,
Eddie

This is a very good song with great lyrics that should inspire some people going through a scenario like this.  Your message of being happy with what you have is well conveyed by your terrific vocal.  The guitar is right on, and the tone reminded me of Dire Straits.  You should be very proud of this.

Thanks Eddie! I'm usually a hard rock guy, so this definitely off the beaten path for me. I appreciate the feedback on the verb and the words. Thanks for listening!
