Released as the lead single from Lainey’s new album, “Hang Tight Honey” is already making waves. Co-written by Lainey herself, along with Jason Nix, Paul Sikes, and Driver Williams, and produced by the legendary Jay Joyce, this track is a certified banger! Inspired by her life on the road, Lainey poured her heart into this song, and it shows.
Ever felt the tug-of-war between chasing your dreams and missing home? Lainey’s got you covered. With lyrics like “I got a bus ‘fore I got a house ’cause that’s what dreams make you do” and “You can’t hold me, and I can’t hold you from two time zones away,” she perfectly captures the bittersweet reality of life on the road.
As Lainey puts it:
“I’ve been runnin’ the roads nonstop for a few years now and I ain’t gonna lie to y’all, sometimes it can be tough being away from home that much. At the same time, remembering what ‘home’ is and the things that I get to do for the ones I love because of the work I put in is what keeps me going and makes it all worthwhile.”
