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.

Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Had to back it on up, couldn't make it to the service
Grabbed all the cash underneath my mattress
Got a real good feelin' something bad about to happen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ran into a girl in a pretty white dress
Rolled down the window, where you heading to next?
Said I'm heading to the bar with my money out of the mattress
Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clapping
I got a real good feeling something bad about to happen
Drinks keep coming, throw my head back laughing
Wake up in the morning, don't know what happened
Whoa, something bad
Whoa, something bad
Now me and that girl that I met on the street
We're rollin' down the road, down to New Orleans
Got a full tank of gas and the money out of the mattress
Got a real good feelin' something bad about to happen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
'Bout to tear it up down in New Orleans
Just like a real-life Thelma & Louise
If the cops catch up, they're gonna call it kidnapping
Got a real good feelin' something bad about to happen
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clapping
I got a real good feeling something bad about to happen (ooh)
Drinks keep coming, throw my head back laughing
Wake up in the morning' don't know what happened
Whoa, something bad
Whoa, something bad
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clapping
Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen
Now the drinks keep coming, throw my head back laughing
Wake up in the morning' don't know what happened
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Whoa, something bad
Whoa, something bad
"Somethin' Bad" by Miranda Lambert is a song that describes the feeling of excitement and a desire to let loose and have a wild night. The first verse talks about being in a bar, and the anticipation of something wild happening. The chorus emphasizes the excitement as Miranda sings about dancing on the bar, clapping, and feeling like something bad is about to happen. The second verse talks about driving towards a church but getting nervous and backing up. Instead, she decides to take the cash she has saved and go out for a night on the town. She runs into a girl in a pretty white dress, and instead of going to church, they head to the bar with the money from under the mattress.
As the night goes on, the chorus repeats, and we hear about drinking and laughing, followed by waking up the next morning not sure what happened. The final verse takes the wild night to another level, describing driving down to New Orleans, ready to tear it up like Thelma and Louise. While wild nights like this are not sustainable, the feeling of letting loose and having fun every once in a while is what the song emphasizes. The song is suggestive of the idea that sometimes, one must let loose and forget about the worries of the world and enjoy the moment.

What I find so amazing is how they both became friends and bonded over their love for singing country music when a lot of celebrities would be competing against each other. This is how things should be more often.
