Kacey Musgraves (Merry Go Round) 1 OC: …observing. :47
“I’m so thankful for this song. I wrote it with Josh Osbourne and Shane Macanelli. One of my favorite writing combos, and God, I’m just so thankful that it was the first thing that I kind of got to say to the music world. A lot of it was inspired by the surroundings I had growing up- as in just being from a tiny little Bible Belt town in a conservative area. But, really, it’s just about life and I feel like no matter what size town you’re from- big or small- or if you’re wealthy or poor. We’re all just sort of driven by the same emotions; interactions, And, too, I feel like when people are kind of scared to branch out of their comfort zones, they tend to settle a little and that’s never good for anybody. It leads to regret and you know, it’s just something that happens in life, and it’s just something that I’m observing.”
