Hi, Jim!
Your lyrics work very well with Kymberly's strong, warm voice and the country genre of the song, which I listened to via the link in your contact information.

Three parts of your lyrics that I especially like are the lines that ground the song in a particular place and situation, because they give me more of the background behind the story created in the song:

Quote:
I've come across the desert in the burning sun
Quote:
Been working all week just to earn my pay
Living for Saturday
Quote:
I've been too long on that assembly line
These lines help me picture the hardworking, working-class woman for whom going out dancing with her beau on Saturday is the highlight of a long, tiring week, which makes the title "Hard Earned Love" very appropriate.
