Kacey Musgraves<\/a> finds the cutest way possible to tell nosey neighbors to nose someplace else. In \u201cBiscuits\u201d \u2014 the first single from her upcoming sophomore album \u2014 the Texan makes \u201cBless your heart\u201d sound like an insult.<\/p>\n

Honestly, who can be mad at someone who tells you to \u201cMind your own biscuits\u201d?<\/em>\u00a0Musgraves, Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark<\/a> penned this mid-tempo acoustic ditty. Sonically, it falls in line with previous singles from Same Trailer, Different Park<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTakin\u2019 down your neighbor \/ Won\u2019t take you any higher \/ I\u2019ve burned my own damn finger pokin\u2019 someone else\u2019s fire \/ I\u2019ve never gotten taller \/ Makin\u2019 someone else feel small \/ If you ain\u2019t got nothin\u2019 nice to say \/ Don\u2019t say nothin\u2019 at all,<\/em>\u201d Musgraves sings after a familiar guitar intro.<\/p>\n

The same production team returns for this song, and the result is a carbon copy of many of the songs from their Grammy-winning project from 2013. Instead of returning to the storytelling style that she introduced with \u201cMerry Go Round\u201d and \u201cBlowing Smoke,\u201d Musgraves delivers yet another message, as she did in \u201cFollow Your Arrow\u201d and \u201cKeep It to Yourself.\u201d That means she carries a heavier responsibility as the face and voice of the single.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust hoe your own row \/ And raise your own babies \/ Smoke your own smoke \/ And grow your own daisies \/ Mend your own fences \/ And own your own crazy \/ Mind your own biscuits \/ And life will be gravy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s advice few will disagree with, but a third straight song with a message is sure to cement one\u2019s opinion of the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n

Why Fans Will Love It<\/strong>: \u201cBiscuits\u201d is an original that could inspire a popular saying for years to come.<\/p>\n

Key Lyrics<\/strong>: \u201cMend your own fences \/ And own your own crazy \/ Mind your own biscuits \/ And life will be gravy\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Did You Know?<\/strong>: Musgraves first shared her \u201cBiscuits\u201d in 2013. She\u2019s been playing it live since the latter part of that year.<\/p>\n
