Nice thoughts, but it isn't a country song--it's all reflection, and no action--and there's no pay off--there are a lot of great lines in this song, any one of which could get turned into a country song--but with no disrespect intended to an obviously gifted writer, Mr. Hudson dosn't think like a country songwriter--

Consider this:

"You learn to know what's worth the love
and what ain't worth tears."

He is talking about positive personal growth here--in country music, all the lessons are learned too late--and a country song would never talk about "what ain't worth the tears"--it would be
"She ain't worth the tears"--
