Grammar:

• She'll set the field on fire just cuttin' across a pasture

  ➔ Future Simple with 'will' (contracted to 'll')

  ➔ Uses the future simple to describe a characteristic action of the cowgirl. "She'll set" indicates a predictable or typical behavior.

• Leave you in a lonely ghost town world Where the sun don't rise, rodeo for one night

  ➔ Relative Clause (Where + Subject + Verb)

  ➔ The "where" clause modifies "ghost town world", providing additional information about that place. The informal "don't rise" is used instead of "doesn't rise".

• Love you like a mustang

  ➔ Simile (Comparison using 'like')

  ➔ Uses "like" to compare the speaker's love to the wild and untamed nature of a mustang.

• Hole in your heart with some good aim

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase (with + noun)

  ➔ Modifies the previous clause, indicating the manner in which the heart gets a hole. "With some good aim" acts as an adverbial modifier.

• I hate that I love the way them kisses taste like whiskey

  ➔ Noun Clause as Object (that + Subject + Verb)

  ➔ The clause "that I love the way them kisses taste like whiskey" acts as the object of the verb "hate". The word 'that' introduces a subordinate noun clause, which functions as the direct object of the verb 'hate'.

• How they wake up, take on off, and not even miss me

  ➔ Parallel Structure (wake up, take on off, and not even miss)

  ➔ A series of verbs in the same form (infinitive without 'to' implied after 'they') connected by commas and 'and' to describe actions of the cowgirls. Each verb shares the same subject 'they'.

• I guess that's just the way them wild horses run

  ➔ Informal Language ('them' instead of 'those')

  ➔ The use of "them" instead of "those" is a characteristic of informal, colloquial language often found in country music lyrics.
