This sounds great. It's a well used formula but it works well for me. I'd be interested to know a bit more about how this was created, but it's a really good listen. :)

ok ok, you don't have to beat me up, I was talking to Rob about "his" song. (smile).
I’m not beating you up
It’s she’s a gone song
That song you're talking about is a happy I love you girl song. That artist has like 7 kids , I doubt he can afford Apple bees . Well he's rich , he probably can. Divorce is hell not apple bees .

Nice song with some good lines.
The subject matter seems to come from the same place as "Just To See You Smile" by Tim Mcgraw.
Nicely written bridge...makes me recall "Lying Eyes" by The Eagles.
Pre-Chorus
"I should’ve known it from the start
I was only borrowing your heart"
The PC is sterling.

Hi Kay-lynn,
Sometimes things in life just aren’t fun. If you’re in love with someone who wants a life you can’t give her, that feeling kind of sucks. That’s really what the song is about.
But I get what you’re saying. Songs like “Fancy Like” work because they take everyday stuff and make it fun and relatable. Mine’s definitely coming from a more bittersweet place.

This is not a love song . She left. Now he needs her that loves this< Bourben street steak and an oreo shake. That's fun!
Now he'll pine over that **** for a year and waste his time while she's banging rich billy , oh she was my soul mate , you get 6 million
Save the Same the< Bourben street steak and an oreo shake. That's fun! for a love song
All country songs men blame themselves not her , cliche and typical . She is not the better half , another cliche
I am not bitter , you find the the right and fight love and **** till death do you part . This **** left in the song ,

I'm so low maintenance I found a great guy!! i.e. the secret to happiness.
I'm fancy like Applebee's! hahhaha
Good song Rob, but do you see the difference in your song and the Applebee's song? Why that song is so fun to sing?
You can send the same message, just make it fun and put some real stuff in it! (furniture)<<<<< Bourben street steak and an oreo shake. That's fun!

Well they usually want the best of everything . Kinda how love works on make sure to get married . Thats why men die 10 years sooner . Welcome to death do you part . The better bet is cat houses . Their both pay as you go plans. Even if your Mister Rogers . Your really better off like Romeo and Juliet few rolls in the hay and commit suicide . Pass up the whole 50 years of marriage thing. And die a slow death going to Safeway and you bought the wrong **** . The constant lectures after the honey moon is over . You don't **** , you need a 25 year old . someone who don't **** . You see that God Damn Church came up with that marriage bullshit . Brainwash your **** . The IRS are thieving crooks like Hitler . I hope Trump dies in a ditch run over by a farmer . Lets bow our heads in Prayer to Bugs Bunny . Ok done with comedy central for now .
Sounds good Rob

The Best of Everything
https://soundclick.com/song/15257608
Verse 1
You light up every room you’re in
Like neon cutting through the wind
Everybody hangs on every word
Like you’re the finest thing they’ve heard
And me, I’m just a backroad guy
Dust on boots and a beat-up ride
Trying to hold what I can’t keep
While your heart runs wild on dreams
Pre-Chorus
I should’ve known it from the start
I was only borrowing your heart
Chorus
’Cause you want diamonds on your hand
A big white house and a rich man
Girl, I could give you anything
But you want the best of everything
I gave you all this heart of mine
But simple love gets left behind
Girl, I could give you anything
But you want the best of everything
Verse 2
You started changing little by little
Trading fireflies in for crystal
Used to love these country roads
Now you’re chasing all that gold
And every time I hold you close
I can feel you letting go
Like your mind’s already gone
To a life where I don’t belong
Pre-Chorus
You’re here with me but miles away
And I can feel you start to slip away
Chorus
’Cause you want diamonds on your hand
A big white house and a rich man
Girl, I could give you anything
But you want the best of everything
I gave you all this heart of mine
But simple love gets left behind
Girl, I could give you anything
But you want the best of everything
Bridge
One day when the glitter fades
And all that gold feels out of place
You might miss these small-town nights
And the way I held you tight
Final Chorus
’Cause you want diamonds on your hand
A big white house and a rich man
Girl, I could give you anything
But you want the best of everything
I gave you all this heart of mine
But simple love gets left behind
Girl, I could give you anything
But you want the best of everything
Outro
Girl, I could give you anything
But you want the best of everything
