Poetry: Country Music Lyrics for a Female Vocalist

These are country lyrics looking for a tune and a woman vocalist. If its not obvious, some lyrics sound kinda funky when sung but a guy, such as "As a young girl, growing up..."

Backwoods County Bound
(Song would be called "The Missing Part of Me")
.
As a young girl, growing up, I loved the country air,
.For breathing in the city makes me wish I still lived there
..The boys at 4-H understood the power of a horse,
...But city men say "horsepower" with no knowledge of force.
.
CHORUS:
City boys just go away, I'm backwoods county bound
And I won't come back 'til I find myself with a country man around
City life's not everything that it's cracked up to be
So I'm going home to find myself the missing part of me.
.
When I told work "I'm leaving them" my boss came out to chat
.He'd always act so macho; how I'd always hated that.
..He said,"I thought you liked it here. Why are you leaving me?"
...Looking in his eyes I said,"Because I need to be."
.
I packed my last belongings in the boxes that I'd found
.As the moving van driver began to walk around.
..I looked at his boots and his cowboy hat, and then looked in his face.
..."Country man," I said to him, "Get me out of this place."

The First Embrace
.
Back in elementary school, I first met this young chap
Who always shared a smile with me and helped me with my chores
And though I thought I liked him back, my friends would always nag
So he became the secret friend I met behind closed doors.
.
In junior high, his body changed, along with all the rest
And in my secret wanting, he was still the finest guy
But suddenly, my friends began to talk of him in lust
So I asked him to join with me and give our love a try.
.
CHORUS:
Childhood has memories of fun and loves gone lost
.But at this early time in life, the hurt is worth the cost
..Secret lovers seem to come and go without a trace
...But what you learn about your love is worth the first embrace.
.
High school years are not as great as people seem to say
I worked so hard to stay away from city slicker studs.
And though some guys were gentlemen who let me be myself
Sometimes I'd do most anything to break free from the duds.
.
Some years went by before the time I went to my reunion
Seeing how much we had changed though somehow stayed the same
When there I met my secret man, and looked into his eyes
He'd gained some weight, and lost some shape, but remembered my name.
.
Just yesterday, he asked if I would be his loving bride
And through the years, I guess I'd known that sometimes dreams are real
I asked him if he really knew the meaning of his words
To which he answered, "Prob'ly not, but this is how I feel."

I'd really like to get into your pants
.
Darlin', you look good inside them blue jeans
I love the way they feel when we dance
Not meaning to be sultry or offensive
But I'd really like to get into your pants
.
Loose denim feels better when I wear it on my legs
But jeans they sell us ladies are too tight.
Though normally I'd see your eyes pop right out of your head,
I'd rather have a pair that fit just right
.
Country dance is more than country waltzing,
I've split my seams too many times to tell
So let me wear your pants tonight for dancing
Or tonight, in bed, you to go to hell!
.
Oh, baby, you look good inside them blue jeans
And love the way they feel when we dance
I don't mean to be sultry (but sometimes I really do).
I'd really like to get into your pants
Hey there, if you love me, won't you turn the other cheek
I'd really like to get into your pants
.
