New Strings Lyrics


I bet this road will take me out of here
Take me far away from Amarillo
I bet this car will go real fast
The wheels might even drive me past
The places that you said I'd never go, oh
Texas sky is the biggest one I've seen
But it still ain't big enough for you and me
All the things that make you mad
And all the baggage in your past
Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be
So I'll fill her up with hope and worn out dreams
And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west
Pack the good and leave the rest
I'll drive until I find the missing piece
You said, "I wouldn't get too far
On a tank of gas and an empty heart"
But I got everything I'll ever need
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

Mama said, "I never should have done it"
Should have ended as before we ever started
Daddy knew about my pride
So he stood there and he smiled inside
I pretended that I didn't notice
A little tear that fell when I said, "I was going"
And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west
Pack the good and leave the rest
And drive until I find the missing piece
You said, "I wouldn't get too far
On a tank of gas and an empty heart"
And I got everything I'll ever need
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings
And I'm worried about life
And if it's right and right on time
I guess if you don't jump
You'll never know if you can fly
You said, "I wouldn't get too far
On a tank of gas and an empty heart"
But I got everything I'll ever need
I got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings

Biography

Miranda Lambert was born on November 10, 1983 in Lindale, Texas, about 80 miles east of Dallas. Both of her parents are private investigators, but father Rick is also a country guitarist and songwriter. Lambert became seriously interested in country music after attending a Garth Brooks concert as a young girl, and soon began singing in talent contests under the tutelage of her father.

At 16, Miranda began appearing on the Johnny High Country Music Review in Arlington, Texas, the same show that helped launch the career of LeAnn Rimes. Miranda quickly landed a recording session in Nashville, but left the studio in tears after she became frustrated with the "pop" sound of music that was not her own. Upon returning to Texas, Miranda began writing songs and taking guitar lessons from her father.

When Miranda's aptitude for music became apparent, her parents encouraged her to aggressively pursue singing and acting opportunities. While still a high school student, Miranda made her professional singing debut and fronted the house band at the Reo Palm Isle Ballroom in Longview, Texas, a long-running venue that has showcased Elvis Presley and Willie Nelson.

Foregoing college, Miranda performed throughout Texas in 2001 and 2002. She finished first in the Texas auditions for Nashville Star and eventually placed third on the national competition.
