So talk to me about writing this song from That perspective. I'm not gonna lie to you, This song's got some lies in it. Just kind of talking about my '68 Cougar, which Is the same '68 from My Kind of Party That Jason Aldean put on the radio, and it's A 1968 Mercury Cougar that I have, And the mechanic that works on it says that It's Christine's sister. You remember the movie where the car was, like, Evil? Mm-hmm. This is her sister. And this car has a mind of her own, You know. But where I say the car's been Good to me, that's not necessarily true. But, you know, I remember riding around, like, With Amber in it, and like, "Hey, man, it Wouldn't be a bad deal if this thing broke Down right now on this old back road." And just thought it was a cool idea and Took off and ran with it. Well, it's a fun song. Like I said, I Love that you wrote it from the perspective of The car being the she in this song, And here it is. It's Breaks Down on Big Machine Radio.
