Miranda Lambert Says She Enjoys a Lifestyle Where She Can Always 'Run to Something' — or 'Away If You Need to'

Lambert, whose 'Postcards from Texas' album drops Friday, told Apple Music Country being a musician lets her "chase my dream but also have a piece of home"

Miranda Lambert likes having the freedom to run.

In a new interview for Today’s Country Radio with Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music Country, the country superstar opened up about her connection to a song, "Run," from her tenth album, Postcards from Texas.

Lambert, 40, said her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, encouraged her to record the song, as he did with multiple "vulnerable and raw" tracks on the album. She then opened up about feeling as though she can be a runner in her life.

"I think the reason that I love horses, and I love Airstreams, and I love the bus, is because it is a way to run to something, not necessarily away from something… but also away if you need to," she explained.

The "Wranglers" singer continued, "I think that's why I've always been obsessed with trailers. I don't know if it's growing up on a tour bus or whatever, but I just feel like I can chase my dream but also have a piece of home. And I feel like that's the gypsy lifestyle in me is that's what I love about it."

"That’s what songs are for, and you may not be ready at that one time to sing about something really raw or sing about alimony," added the Grammy winner. "You might be going through divorce or whatever, you know what I mean? At the time it might not be funny or at the time it might feel too raw, but then it can come back around… And it's an admission of human error too."

"It's an apology," said Lambert. "But it's also a resolve."
