Hi, good for you QT! I can highly recommend that you browse the rec.music.songwriting Usenet newsgroup. People post their lyrics for critique and there are a bunch of seasoned songwriters who are willing to take your lyrics apart and put them back together again. There's definitely a few Nashville country-types who browse the newsgroup and offer advice, so if you are in to country lyrics then you might find some good tips. Of course, you need to be aware that the newsgroups are freely readable, so you do need to be aware that your non-copyrighted material could be 'stolen'.
Keep writing! and singing!
