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 ↴
Another Bible in my hand on Sunday morning
Last one, I left standin' in the drive
Said a heart like mine ought to come with a warning
Can't help it, I'm in love with love
I got a track record
My past is checkered as the floor of the diner on Main Street
A runner under pressure like a dang Mustang on half-speed
Maybe it's the ones that I can't fix
And maybe it's the chase that makes me tick
Girls like me don't mean to but we don't know better
I got a track record
One might have been a keeper and one was a leaver
And one was the one daddy gave me away to
One's a user and one was a loser
Still waitin' on the one to give me whole damn heart to
Can't help it, I'm in love with love
I got a track record
My past is checkered as the floor of the diner on Main Street
A heart wrecker
Runner under pressure like a dang Mustang on half-speed
Maybe it's the ones that I can't fix
And maybe it's the chase that makes me tick
Girls like me don't mean to but we don't know better
I got a track record
Maybe it's the ones that I can't fix
Maybe it's the ones that make me tick
Girls like me don't mean to but we don't know better
I got a track record
I got a track record
I can't help it, I'm in love with love
I can't help it, I'm in love with love
Miranda Lambertβs song Track Record is all about her struggles with love and relationships. The lyrics portray her as a risk taker whoβs willing to dive into love headfirst, even if her past experiences have left her with a βcheckeredβ history. The lyrics describe how sheβs had a series of past relationships, each with their own issues, and each making her question whether sheβs doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
The song gives voice to the sentiment that sometimes love can feel like a force that is cruelly beyond our control, something that we canβt help but repeatedly give into, no matter how much it might have hurt us before. The lyrics also suggest that perhaps thereβs something about the thrill of the chase that keeps her coming back for more. Ultimately, the song captures the idea that love is a messy business, and despite the emotional bruises it can inflict, there's no denying its power.
Overall, Track Record is a candid, introspective self-reflection on the role love has played in Miranda Lambert's life. It captures her very human tendency to make mistakes, her uncertainty about what to do with love, and her recognition that despite her track record, she canβt help being in love with love.

Another date with the devil on Saturday night
Otra cita con el diablo el sΓ‘bado por la noche
Another Bible in my hand on Sunday morning
Otra Biblia en mi mano la maΓ±ana del domingo
Lastβ one,β I left standin'β in the drive
Al ΓΊltimo, le dejΓ© plantado en el camino de entrada
Said a heart likeβ mine oughta come with a warning
Dije un corazΓ³n como el mΓo deberΓa venir con una advertencia
Canβt help it, I'm in love with love
No puedo evitarlo, estoy enamorada del amor
I got a track record, a past that's checkered
Tengo un historial, un pasado que es accidentado (1)
As the floor at the diner on Main Street
Como el suelo de una cafeterΓa de Main Street
A heart wrecker, a runner under pressure
Una destroza-corazones, una corredora bajo presiΓ³n
Like a dang Mustang on high speed
Como un condenado Mustang a toda velocidad
Maybe itβs the ones that I can't fix
QuizΓ‘s son los que no puedo amarrar
And maybe it's the chase that makes me tick
Y quizΓ‘s es la persecuciΓ³n lo que me motiva
Girls like me don't mean to, but we don't know better
Las chicas como yo no lo pretendemos, pero no tenemos sentido comΓΊn
I got a track record
Tengo un historial
One might have been a keeper and one was a leaver
Uno podrΓa haber sido el que te cuida y otro fue de los que se van
And one was the one daddy gave me away to
Y uno fue el que papi me descubriΓ³
One's a user and one was a loser
Uno es el que te utiliza y otro fue un perdedor
Still waitin' on the one to give my whole damn heart to
AΓΊn aguardando al que entregar todo mi maldito corazΓ³n
Canβt help it, I'm in love with love
No puedo evitarlo, estoy enamorada del amor
I got a track record, a past that's checkered
Tengo un historial, un pasado que es accidentado
As the floor at the diner on Main Street
Como el suelo de una cafeterΓa de Main Street
A heart wrecker, a runner under pressure
Una destroza-corazones, una corredora bajo presiΓ³n
Like a dang Mustang on high speed
Como un condenado Mustang a toda velocidad
Maybe itβs the ones that I can't fix
QuizΓ‘s son los que no puedo amarrar
Maybe it's the ones that makes me tick
QuizΓ‘s son los que me motivan
Girls like me don't mean to, but we don't know better
Las chicas como yo no lo pretendemos, pero no tenemos sentido comΓΊn
I got a track record
Tengo un historial

Love every single song on this C.D.!!. Honestly I thought THE WEIGHT OF THESE WINGS" was the best .. but she STUNS us again with her amazing talent, song writing, and just writing about her life.. β€β€β€β€
Bryan Tatem
Nice and warm. Little 90s feel. I'm giving this album a solid yes! The top artists stretch their muscles at the right time. Surrounded by an organic crew, writers and players.
Randy Whitehead
First song I ever sang as karaoke in public...and only song (so far)!!! Love it so much. Thereβs so much truth here...everyone has a past and has their share of demons. Making mistakes is a part of life in general. Iβll always love this song!
