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.

Miranda Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a gin and juice at the Satellite Inn
I was gettin' loose, making new friends
Anything to forget about you
Then I moved on to the KOA
Met an old hippie named Katie with a K
Went skinny dipping in Havasu Lake
Another Fleetwood dream
Another sunset scheme
Another turn a new leaf
Movin' right along to the next scene
Another motel room
Another crescent moon
Between me and you
Movin' right along to the next scene
I hit the badlands fast I was zig zag rollin'
High on a Harley didn't care where I was going
Said, "Call me the Queen of South Dakota"
Anything to forget about you
I took my time on the way down to Reno
Jumped in the back of a black El Camino
Won fun money at the Gold Casino
Anything to forget about you
Another Fleetwood dream
Another sunset scheme
Another turn a new leaf
Movin' right along to the next scene
Another motel room
Another crescent moon
Between me and you
Movin' right along to the next scene
Another Fleetwood dream
Another sunset scheme
Another turn a new leaf
Movin' right along to the next scene
Another motel room
Another crescent moon
Between me and you
Movin' right along to the next scene
Santa Monica coaster
Put me on a poster
That's all she wrote, sir
Movin' right along to the next scene
In Miranda Lambert's song "Scenes," the singer is trying to forget about someone and moves from place to place to start anew. The song starts with her meeting a trucker named Dwayne and getting a gin and juice at the Satellite Inn. She is making new friends and trying to forget about someone. The next scene takes us to the KOA where she meets an old hippie named Katie with a K, and they go skinny dipping in Havasu Lake. Then we are taken to the badlands, and the singer is rolling zig-zag high on a Harley, trying to forget about the person she wants to forget about and calls herself the "Queen of South Dakota."
The last scene takes us to Reno, where she won some fun money in the Gold Casino. The chorus repeats the same lines, depicting a cycle that the singer is trying to break by physically moving on to the next scene. The song ends with the singer riding Santa Monica coaster and puts her on a poster. It seems she is moving forward and might eventually get over whoever she wants to forget about.
Overall, "Scenes" is a perfect road song that narrates the singer's journey to forget about someone, but it also conveys the feeling of longing, pain, and desire to escape. The song's dynamic structure and energetic beat make it a perfect tune for a road trip.

Miranda lambert is a badass. I was never into her when she got started and was doing the crazy ex girlfriend type songs. It's incredible how much more dimension both her music and lyrics have now. She's probably the best thing in country music right now. Just straight badass.
