Miranda Lambert – Wranglers

The official video for Miranda Lambert’s song “Wranglers.”

“Wranglers” – Single by Miranda Lambert from the album Postcards from Texas
Released: May 3, 2024
Studio: Arlyn, Austin, Texas
Label: Republic Big Loud
Songwriters: Ryan Carpenter, Audra Mae and Evan McKeever
Producers: Miranda Lambert and Jon Randall.

The song was recorded with songwriter/producer Jon Randall at Austin’s Arlyne Recording Studios, and features Jedd Hughes and Ethan Ballinger on electric guitar, Rachel Loy on bass, and Conrad Choucroun on drums.

The music video for “Wranglers” premiered on June 13, 2024. Directed by longtime collaborator Trey Fanjoy, it is a visual nod to Lambert’s video for her 2005 single “Kerosene”, which Fanjoy also directed, with Lambert brandishing a replica can of kerosene and the matchbook from the original video, which Lambert teased ahead of its release on her social media accounts with a throwback post comparing the evolution of her look. In it, Lambert is joined by a group of women to help console a friend following a breakup, before she decides to help her by setting fire to her exes belongings before returning them. The video co-stars Lambert’s childhood friend Laci, actresses Elle LaMont (who previously appeared in the music video for “If I Was a Cowboy”) and Jessica Stroup, and actor Christopher Backus.

Filmed outside Austin, Texas, the video puts to film the song’s sense of hard-won freedom for anyone leaving a situation that didn’t serve them.

“Wranglers” debuted at number 37 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart week dated May 18, 2024.

Lyrics:
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
When the knock down drag out’s over
And lord knows she took one too many

Well her blue jean eyes
Are too tired to cry
And he won’t know till she’s gone already

If he ever loved her
He never let it show
If she didn’t need him
She’d a left him long ago
She set it all on fire
And if there’s one thing that she learned
Wranglers take forever to burn

How long how much can a broken heart take
Who could blame her when it all goes up in flames
Not a one of us could’ve done better

Not with that wandering eye
Wannabe marlboro man
Came as no surprise when she finally took a stand

If he ever loved her
He never let it show
If she didn’t need him
She’d a left him long ago
She set it all on fire
And if there’s one thing that she learned
Wranglers take forever to burn

If he ever loved her
He never let it show
If she didn’t need him
She’d a left him long ago
She set it all on fire
And if there’s one thing that she learned
Wranglers take forever, damn they take forever to burn
