  Miranda Lambert talks about her hot new hit, “Automatic.” (:40)
“‘Automatic’ is a song about the good life. It’s about slowing down and remembering to take a breath, and what it’s like to be a little bit more simple, and not really about changing and going back there, but just reminiscing about what it was like to live in the days where there was a laundry line, and there was, you know, my dad teaching me how to drive my ’55 Chevy that I still have and don’t drive near enough. And you know, just every time I listen to it, even in the writing process, it just really brought back good memories, and when I hear it, it reminds me to take a deep breath and think about those good memories and try to instill them in my hectic life right now.”
