1. "Telling the truth"
   "Wandering the world"
2. "Waiting for you"
   "Waiting my turn"

"Old soul — waiting my turn — I know a few things — but I've still got a lot to learn" — "Slow Burn" is on the album, "Golden Hour," which was released in 2018. The song speaks about taking time and living life on your terms.

1. "We had our day in the sun"
   "Sunsets fade and love does too"
2. "There ain't room for both of us in this town"
   "I ain't gonna fence you in"

Like Kacey's other songs, "Space Cowboy" is filled with country themes and ideas — and is there anything more country than a cowboy headed out on the open road with a broken heart? "Go on, ride away in your Silverado — I'll see you around again".

1. "Darling, you take the high horse and I'll take the high road"
   "For all the games you think that you're winning"
2. "I bet you think you're first place"
   "We all know the end of the story"

Kacey sings a lot about people who like to judge or go out of their way to make statements about others, and how it can ruin relationships and make the people unhappy, which is why we should all just focus on being our best selves.

1. Superman
   Batman
2. Captain America
   Thor

"I don't need a Superman to win my lovin' — 'cause baby, I ain't no Wonder Woman". Dating can be hard, especially with the weight of expectation to be perfect. This song is fighting that expectation with lines like "Don't you know I'm only human — And if I let you down, I don't mean to."

1. "Are we here just once or a billion times?"
   "There's all kinds of magic, it's hard to believe"
2. "Did I know you once in another life"
   "Oh, what a world, and then there is you"

Though each of these lines shows up in Kacey's song about the myriad, magical wonders of the world, it is "Oh, what a world, and then there is you" that captures how she believes love is magic like the rest.

1. Home
   Happiness
2. Time
   Crown

"Now you're lifting me up — 'stead of holding me down — stealing my heart — 'stead of stealing my crown." We should all find someone who lifts us up and gives us butterflies when we see them.

1. "An adventurous"
   "A Graceland"
2. "A Renaissance"
   "A gentle"

"Velvet Elvis" is a song about a man who is timeless and funny and makes her happy. It features the line, "I need a Graceland kind of man who's always on mind." Graceland, of course, being Elvis' home in Memphis.

1. Predators with big teeth
   The wilderness and the dark
2. Going too fast and not being able to see
   The ocean

In "Love is a Wild Thing," Kacey sings about how you can't find love just sitting on a shelf, and you can't hide or lose because love is wild — and though she used to be scared of the wildness, she no longer is.

1. Mary two doors down
   Mother Mary
2. Mary Kay
   Mary Jane

"'Cause mama's hooked on Mary Kay — brother's hooked on Mary Jane — Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down." While the song does also reference religion and church, it doesn't appear in the chorus.

1. "Life will be sweet like tea"
   "Life will be hot as Nashville chicken"
2. "Life will be easy as pecan pie"
   "Life will be gravy"

"Biscuits" is about the importance of focusing on your own life, rather than trying to comment on the lives of people around you. When you care for your family or home, rather than your neighbor's, life will be gravy.

1. "A prude"
   "A horrible person"
2. "A bore"
   "On crack"

"Follow Your Arrow" won the Country Music Association Song of the Year in 2014, and it's not hard to see why. It's a song about being true to who you are and not trying to please everyone, because you won't succeed.

1. Your opinions
   Your past
2. Your secrets
   That you still love me

When we're out of a relationship, it can be easy to think about getting back together with the person we were with. In "Keep it to Yourself" Kacey doesn't want her ex to tell her he's still in love with her.

1. When she brings the beats
   When she walks in at midnight
2. When she's with you
   When she's hosting it

"I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you." The romance of this song is that the party — or at least, the party worth going to — is the time she spends with her partner.

1. "You'll be up there all alone"
   "Your name will never be known"
2. "People won't like that rude tone"
   "Your times up there will soon be done"

We've all been in a situation where we felt bullied or frustrated by someone else's actions. Kacey's song, "Step Off," is about a person who can't mind their own business and is determined to make life harder for others.

1. A two-step
   The cowboy cha-cha
2. Tango with the sheriff
   Cupid shuffle

Kacey sings a lot about country life, and "Honkytonk Heartache" delivers on classic country vibes — as well as a broken heart, of course. The song features the two-step, the fiddle and a bottle of whiskey.

1. Like nothing else
   Forever
2. Family
   Undeniable

Families can be tough, as Kacey sings about in "Family is Family," but they also are there for the important moments and the hard times, and you always come back to each other in the end.

1. Mount Rushmore
   San Antonio
2. The Las Vegas Strip
   White Cliffs of Dover

"Dime Store Cowgirl" is a love song to home. The song is about someone who has been all over the country, met famous people and seen the sights, but at the end of the day, she's happiest in her hometown.

1. "A home"
   "Your Love"
2. "A mother's love"
   "For you to come home"

"Ribbons and Bows" appeared on "A Very Kacey Christmas" which came out in 2016 and features themes of family and speaks to the importance of love — rather than material belongings — during the holiday season.

1. "Our lives ain't sad"
   "We find the guy"
2. "Our hands don't shake"
   "We run away"

"Blowin' Smoke from Same Trailer Different Park" (2013) is another classic story of not quite being able to leaving where you are. No matter how many times you talk about just getting on the next bus, we're all blowin' smoke.

1. The days
   The stars in the sky
2. The hours
   The tomatoes on the vine

"I try to sleep, but just lie here awake — I've stopped counting sheep, now I just count the days." It's hard to be away from the person you love, whether they travel or the love is unrequited. In "Fine" she has to put on a happy face so her family doesn't worry.

1. Iced tea
   Chai tea
2. Green tea
   Herbal tea

Many of Kacey's songs have to do with following your instincts and being true to yourself. "Cup of Tea" is a song about how everyone likes their tea differently, and you can't please them all — no matter what kind of tea you are.

1. A good Mexican restaurant
   A flashing light
2. A Baptist church
   An art gallery

"This Town," like many of Kacey's songs, celebrates hometown, small town life. She happily lists many of the things her small town has, but mostly focuses on how the town is too small to be mean.

1. New York City
   London
2. Hollywood
   New Orleans

"I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood — I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold." Everyone is looking for someone to love and who loves them equally in return, and that's what drives her in this remake of a Neil Young classic.

1. Travel off the beaten path
   Get a little dirt on your hands
2. Gather the help of a few good friends
   Believe in magic

"Silver Lining," is filled with positivity and focuses on how in order to see the good in things, we have to get a little dirty and the sky has to get a little dark — silver linings don't show up on sunny days.

1. Memphis
   Knoxville
2. Nashville
   Chattanooga

"I've made up my mind and what I'm gonna do — Take it or leave it boy, I'm leaving you — You drove me outta' my mind and I'm halfway to Memphis." There are some days we all want to get in the car and hit the open road.

1. "Sell this ol' ring"
   "Leave this tired town"
2. "Make it big"
   "Burn your pictures"

"Whispers of Your Name" is a sad song about loneliness and heartache. Though we never get the full story about why her heart is broken, we know she is trying to get away from his memory in her home and favorite places.

1. "I'm just kind of bored"
   "I'll never love again"
2. "I can't stop thinking about him"
   "My heart is still broken"

Many of Kacey's songs are about embracing change and adventure and not taking life too seriously — and "It is What it Is" is definitely one of them. Sometimes it's good to just step back and see where life leads us.

1. "Life without dreams"
   "Christmas without snow"
2. "Life without song"
   "Me without you"

Christmas is a time for romance and being with loved ones. In this duet with Leon Bridges, Kacey sings "Where'd the magic go — all I know is me without you is like a present without bow".

1. "Baby, let's give 'em hell"
   "Baby, let's fall in love"
2. "Baby, let's see the world"
   "Baby, let's stay in tonight"

Like the title suggests, "Die Fun" is about not growing up too fast. She sings about the ways they can have fun, run away, and stay young forever. She sings "before we get to heaven, baby, let's give him hell," as an homage to youth and joy.

1. "When you try to follow your dreams"
   'When you left the town where you're from"
2. "When you've fallen in love before"
   "When you're a girl who grows up in the south"

The south has a rich and exciting pageant history, and it's little wonder why Kacey felt out of place when she didn't fit into the pageant scene. Thankfully, she acknowledges that "I'd rather lose for who I am than win for what I ain't."

1. Gets on a plane
   Brings her house to you
2. Sings your name
   Dreams of the future you might have

There's always something exciting and romantic about life spent on the road, and Kacey captures that with "My House" with lines like, "So come on hitch your wagon — to the happiness I'm draggin' — If I can't bring you to my house — I'll bring my house to you."

1. "I'm gonna turn off my phone"
   "Go back home"
2. "Spend time with you"
   "Write a new song"

Sometimes we all need to take a step back and return to who we really are, and that can mean shutting down the outside world and spending some quality time alone, as Kacey does in "High Time."

1. Because they're beautiful
   Just to watch 'em burst
2. Because they make me smile
   Because they catch the light

We've all known someone who just isn't happy no matter what they're doing, whether it's growing flowers or blowing bubbles. In this song, Kacey is noting that she needs to get away so she can be happy.

1. Bluebells
   Sunflowers
2. Tulips
   Dandelion

"A million little wishes float across the sky — but it's a waste of breath and it's a waste of time, I know — 'cause just him, you always leave me cryin', dandelion". Though sad, these lyrics are lovely.

1. A future with you
   More time together
2. Less of you
   For things to change

We've all been in a bad relationship, or a relationship that changes over time and leaves us feeling lonely even when we're together. In "Nothing More" Kacey sings, "I want nothing more than less of you."
