ABOUT THE CONCERT: Grammy Award-winning country music artist Miranda Lambert first landed on the public’s radar in 2003, appearing on the country music singing competition Nashville Star. Although she didn’t end up winning the competition, her finish as runner-up did not stop her from going on to become one of the most popular female country singers of today.
In 2011, Miranda had one of her biggest and busiest years yet. In addition to marrying fellow country singer Blake Shelton, she recorded the debut album for her group, Pistol Annies, as well as her fourth solo album, Four the Record, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart. With its release, she became the first country artist to have each of her first four albums hit #1 on the Top Country Albums Chart.
Some of Miranda’s most popular hits include:
- “Kerosene”
- “Famous in a Small Town” “
- “White Liar”
- “Dead Flowers”
- “Gunpowder & Lead”
- “Mama’s Broken Heart”
- “The House That Built Me”

so many! I think my all time favorite is “more like her” with “taking pills” a close second.
“The House That Built Me” because it reminds me of my grandmother’s house, as well as the house that I grew up in. Granny’s house is no longer there, but our old house in southern Oklahoma is still there and when I get back home for visits, I still drive by there and remember all the great memories. That song definitely takes me back and gives me warm fuzzies. Love me some Miranda Lambert!!! BTW, I grew up not far from where she & Blake live, so they are both two of my favorite Okies whether by birth or marriage. 🙂

“Over You”
Weather man said it’s gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me
But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you
Living alone here in this place
I think of you, and I’m not afraid
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along
With every song
I know you didn’t mean to give them to me
But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you
It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone
Cause you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you

House That Built Me
Very hard to pick a favorite. I love The House That Built Me and Over You because she is such a gorgeous singer, but you can’t beat her when she’s on a tear either.
My favorite Miranda Lambert song is “Famous in a Small Town”. My daughter was a cheerleader at her high school which is famous due to the movie “Friday Night Lights”. Being a cheerleader at that Texas school definitely made her famous in that semi-small town. As a single mom and teacher, it was difficult to fund her cheerleading life but we found ways to accomplish it.
The house that built me
My favorite song is House That Built Me…great song!
Love Baggage Claim!
My favorite Miranda Lambert song is “The House that Built Me”…reminds me of my childhood and the love my parents had for each other.
My daughter loves “House That Built Me” and her bday is August 16 so this would be so awesome and fun for her!!! Thanks for the chance!!
Famous in a Small Town ~ it’s so very true!
The House That Built Me!!
The House That Built Me! Growing up in a Kansas on a Farm, this song goes right to my heart.
“Well, I’ve been thinkin’
about all pills I’m takin’
I wash ’em down with an ice cold beer
And the love I ain’t been makin’
Oh, I feel like I’m burnin’ up
With words I ain’t been sayin’
And all these pills I’m takin'”
LOVE that she has her own all-girl band with Pistol Annies!!!!
My favorite is “The House that Built Me”. My mom sold the home I grew up in a few years ago and this song pretty much sums up everything I feel about that home. Ironically, a friend bought the home and after visiting her last year there, as I pulled out of the driveway, this song started playing.
The house that built me!
My favorite Miranda Lambert song is Love Letters, from the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend album.
“The House that Built Me”
fastest girl in town
“The House that Built Me” is my very favorite! I swear it tells so much about my wonderful childhood. I recently visited my childhood home. It was so much larger to me when I was 10.
My favorite is ‘Only Prettier’!
“More Like Her” I’d LOVE to win for my birthday!!!
“Baggage Claim”
I have been draggin’ around your sensitive ego
Making sure that your bags arrive on time for the dog and pony show
A little suitcase like a brick,
It kinda makes it hard to get a good grip
I drop your troubles off at the conveyor belt,
I’ll hand you a ticket to go get it yourself
At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground, check the lost and found
Cause it ain’t my problem now
I can’t carry it on
Fastest girl in town!
Love “The House that Built Me”!
Favorite song: Mama’s Broken Heart
The House That Built Me AND
I can’t think of the title at the moment but here are some lyrics… “You say I’ll be okay, but I’ not going to… How dare you, I miss you…” I call it Blake’s song 🙂
