Miranda Lambert gave an emotional performance of 'Tin Man' at the ACM Awards. She reveals in a recent interview the inspiration behind the song from her 'The Weight of These Wings' album is a bit of a tribute to Kenny Chesney’s “Tin Man,” her favorite Chesney song.
“This song sort of wrote itself,” she says. “I was a little worried at first about writing another song like that but I told Kenny … I felt the same emotion I feel when I hear that song. I was feeling it myself and the other two co-writers were feeling it as well. It comes from the same place and I guess it inspired it.”
