This song about how "everyone dies famous in a small town" was awarded the Fan's Choice for Single Record of the Year at the 2008 ACM Awards. Additionally Lambert was the surprise winner of album of the year award for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Miranda Lambert and Travis Howard wrote this. On the 2003 series of the reality TV show Nashville Star, which was won by Buddy Jewell, Lambert came 3rd and Howard 9th.
Miranda Lambert from her publicity materials: "We wrote that in my house, and it's exactly what it says. I've been on the front page of my hometown paper seven times. I wasn't trying to write a 'small town' song, I had gone around visiting people that day and it got me remembering situations. It all came back to me and came out in the song. They're true stories - if you're late for church, people are going to talk about it and be all in your business."
