• Look for “Temporary Home” on Carrie’s new Play On album, which also includes “Cowboy Casanova.” 

  Carrie Underwood feels that there’s a sense of hopefulness in the lyrics to her song, “Temporary Home.” (:42)
“For me, I’ve never written a song like this one before, as far as the way it came about. It’s just, one day, I was, like, getting ready, and a flood just hit me. Like, just immediately, I thought of three different people, different places, different really bad things happening to them, but the song itself isn’t sad to me. It’s hopeful, and each person in each story, in each different place in their life, knows that things are going to be okay.”
