...It's not just her singing. It's her WRITING. It took a few listens for me to like this song...Finally I got the song...and her. She writes songs that truly express the human condition. Just because we are young does not mean we cannot be blessed with wisdom beyond our years...or beyond even our own understanding.
Love her voice and the lyrics! To me, this song is about two people that can't be in a real relationship, for whatever circumstances, but she loves what they have and wants to enjoy it while it's there. She loves him but keeps herself at a distance by not fully exposing just how much she cares about him, probably because of their circumstances. Life offers no guarantees, enjoy living in the moment.
I think your analysis is exactly right. It feels like a classic Country music theme, but I can't think of another song that deals with it. Likely a very modern dynamic?
country music needed someone like this. getting tired of songs like "id like to have a beer with Jesus". anyways great stuff and i cant wait to hear more!
What a talented young lady! And what a voice she's been blessed with!! I can see her going far and having a very successful career! Love it and can't wait to hear the whole album!!
"My grandma calls this the slut song" haha! as a songwriter I know how hard it is to write this kind of song tastefully! She's done a great job! Musical genius!
Her voice just does something to me!! Literally no one could've sang any of her songs better than she does. I still can't believe you are from Mineola. That's mind blowing and amazing.!
If I had the chance I would take her away and make her mine and love her forever. It's rare these days to find such a good, authentic musician who not only sings well, but is beautiful and whose lyrics really reach out and touch people. I i really hope she sees the success she deserves. And i guarantee she will not sell out.
I watched her perform with eli young band and was instantly intrigued. Her lyrics are so creative and she sings effortlessly. anxiously awaiting her album!
I had to give this a thumbs up for "grandma". Talented artist - I'll be looking out for her albums, and her songs with lyrics and chords to sing around the campfire.
It's so rare you get that perfect balance of a beautiful visual performer with strong melodic heartfelt songs. I saw her live and it was one of my all-time favorite concerts. I've seen everyone from Ministry to THE THE.
This young girl has trumped all of the current song writers making music today. They're about to get smacked with the message to step up. Which they've needed to recently. "Truck Yea", my ass. Thanks Kacey.
i'm a huge fan of both Kacey and Taylor, and I think they should not be compared. Both have completely different voices and ranges, but both do write their own songs from the heart. Think what you wish, but no need ton bring up who is better. Just enjoy the music
The the person who asked what this song is about here ya go. It is about being with someone for a while and trying every way u know how to make it work but it just will not (u will learn in life is happens sadly) but you still care a lot about them and miss having them in bed with u. So she is saying since we are both alone and still enjoy each others company lets keep sleeping together til one of us meets someone else of just dose not want the other anymore.
Kacey, you my dear are a true talent and artist. Always keep that funny down home part of your personality alive. It's very appealing. You are going to be huge! Stay humble on the way. :)
Beautiful voice, great song, along with the sounds of those acoustic guitars, I really love that combination, I like to record her playing a the Firewater Saloon in Chicago sometime. Kacey Musgraves sure writes some beautiful songs.
I love Kacey and I love Taylor. Spreading hate is never a compliment to any artist. I wish you'd all get out from behind your computers and make a positive difference rather than add negativity.
This is probably the 500th time I've listened to this song and it gets better every time.
...It's not just her singing. It's her WRITING.

Very well put.
FINALLY a return of REAL country. REAL stories. REAL people. Love it.
Kacey is true to her heart and true to country music. Just a beautiful song from a beautiful soul.
Love her voice and the lyrics!

I can't wait for her album to be released. Such a promising country artist.
Her voice just does something to me!! Literally no one could've sang any of her songs better than she does. I still can't believe you are from Mineola. That's mind blowing and amazing.!
As someone who loves dubstep and bands like Lamb of God... this is awesome.
This gal is young but she's got some good songs that I can relate too. Good luck with your career, Ms. Musgraves. We're rooting for you!!
I could not agree with you more man, she's a breath of fresh air.
The way your voices harmonizes is pure money! This sounds SO much better than the record. My favorite version is THIS one.
Totally agree.

Wow... what an amazing song..!! Beautiful melody.. honest lyrics... and delicious voice... thank you Kacey..
I watched her perform with eli young band and was instantly intrigued. Her lyrics are so creative and she sings effortlessly. anxiously awaiting her album!
I NEVER listen to country music but I LOVE Kacey. This song is so pretty I want to cry.
she's the real deal, y'all! beauty, brains, wit, charm, and a bit of a spitfire... YES!
I think I've listened to this like 200 times just today. :) I'm in love
Thanks NPR for introducing me to Kacey
I have yet to be able to listen to a song of hers without getting chills.

I love how she can write a song about this but still have it sound beautiful and classy
LOL 'Baby I'm wearing something silky'. So funny, beautiful, and talented!

I had to give this a thumbs up for "grandma".
Talented artist - I'll be looking out for her albums, and her songs with lyrics and chords to sing around the campfire.
I. Love. This. Woman.
Love this song. She makes it look so easy.
hey doll
Amazing acoustics, her voice is amazing
ive listened to this song an unhealthy amount of times
Can't stop playin' this song!
I have never understood this need that people on RUclips seem to have to cut down other artists in order to show their love for a particular artist.
Love this song and Merry Go Round, my new favourite female country artist, just wish they would play more of her music on air
It's so rare you get that perfect balance of a beautiful visual performer with strong melodic heartfelt songs. I saw her live and it was one of my all-time favorite concerts. I've seen everyone from Ministry to THE THE.
an unbelievably talented lady
Can't wait for her new album...
WOW. Got chills from this... the lyrics are wonderful...
This young girl has trumped all of the current song writers making music today. They're about to get smacked with the message to step up. Which they've needed to recently. "Truck Yea", my ass. Thanks Kacey.
She is so talented!! Love her and her voice. Its about time real country makes a come back instead of pop country. Can't wait to hear more :)
