Once you get over the initial shock, you appreciate how this single is great at all angles.
Strong lyrical substance surrounded with an interesting instrumental arrangement. And best of all, it is NOT a country pride song!.
Miranda is at her best when she bursts with energy, without trying to re-create it ("Fastest Girl In Town"). This is why hits like "Gunpowder & Lead" worked so well.
This will either be a huge hit because of her superstar status, or tank, because as country radio proved earlier with "Drinkin' Man", strong lyrics won't be played as often.
