Grammar:

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

  ➔ Future Simple (will) with contracted form ('ll); Gerund (cuttin')

  ➔ “She'll” is a contraction of “She will”. "Cuttin'" is a colloquial shortening of "cutting," acting as a gerund, describing the manner in which she sets the field on fire.

• She'll have you fallin' for it all and then leave right after

  ➔ Causative verb (have + object + bare infinitive); Gerund (fallin')

  ➔ The structure “have you fallin'” uses “have” in a causative sense, meaning she causes you to fall. "Fallin'" is a colloquial shortening of "falling", acting as a gerund.

• Where the sun don't rise, rodeo for one night

  ➔ Double Negative (don't rise - colloquial)

  ➔ The phrase "don't rise" instead of "doesn't rise" is a deliberate grammatical error used in colloquial speech for emphasis or to maintain a specific dialect/tone. This is common in certain regional dialects of English.

• Love you like a mustang

  ➔ Simile (comparison using 'like')

  ➔ This line uses "like" to compare the speaker's love to a mustang, suggesting a wild, untamed, and free-spirited kind of love.

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

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of subject 'they' in the latter clauses)

  ➔ The sentence implies "How they wake up, (how they) take off, and (how they) not even miss me." The subjects are omitted for brevity and rhythm, a common feature in informal speech and song lyrics.

• Leave this heart broken, holdin' that smokin' gun

  ➔ Participle clause (holdin')

  ➔ "Holdin' that smokin' gun" acts as a participle clause modifying the state of the speaker's heart. It describes the action happening simultaneously with the heart being broken. "Holdin'" is a colloquialism for "holding".

• Don't you wanna take me away?

  ➔ Question Tag (rhetorical question); Auxiliary verb 'do'

  ➔ This is a rhetorical question implying a strong desire or invitation. It does not necessarily seek a direct answer. The auxiliary verb "do" is used to form the question.
