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.

Gravity Is a B**ch
Miranda Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you party like you're eight feet tall
You say work is for the birds
Chasing dreams and mini skirts
From here everything seem small
Then 30's come around and you finally feel the ground
Look around and maybe start planning
And though you're far from old, your moisturizer's been less time tanning
You're hanging over, but you're hanging in
You're starting to look like all of your friends
Conversations turnin' from rock n' roll
To kids and politics and how much money you owe
Got bags under your eyes, bigger hips and bigger thighs
You got places that you can't even itch
You can nip it, tuck it, squeeze it
But you're never gonna beat it
'Cause gravity's a bitch
Forty's kinda boring
And you spend your time ignoring the things you don't see so clear
Your reflection in the glass is gonna knock you on you ass
You wonder how the hell it get down here
You're happy in your fifties
Though things are kinda shifty
At sixty you find peace of mind
Go to bed at eight o'clock and comb your hair if you still got it
'Cause you're almost at the finish line
You're hanging over, but you're hanging in
You're starting to look like all of your friends
Conversations turnin' from rock n' roll
To kids and politics and how much money you owe
Got bags under your eyes, bigger hips and bigger thighs
You got places that you can't even itch
You can nip it, tuck it, squeeze it
But you're never gonna beat it
'Cause gravity's a bitch
Yeah gravity's a bitch
I'm here to tell ya
Gravity is a bitch

Overall, the song offers a realistic and honest portrayal of aging that many people can relate to. It highlights the ups and downs of life and the changes that come with each phase while acknowledging that age is simply a number, and peace of mind can be achieved.

Okay as a physics nerd I had to ruin this, simply because... well... I felt like it. You don't like gravity Miranda? You think this is some clever metaphor? No, it's stupid. Gravity is possibly one of the most important things in our universe, without which you would be thrown out into the vacuum of space in an instant and die. Cheery thoughts I know but still, even as a metaphor you better have some understanding of how you're metaphor works. It would have been such a better concept if you praised gravity as a metaphor for being tied down, to be tethered. You could have made this concept really deep but you failed on all counts. Highly paid musicians/lyricists of America go listen to some Bob Dylan or something because for some reason none of you have a clue how to write songs.
Man, that felt good. That should hold me over until tomorrow.
