“Lie” brings me back to the trailer park and motel where I spent a lot of time growing up. My grandpa would drive me around in his red Toyota pickup on his way to repair something at the pool-hall or the country store, and sing Roger Miller and Willie Nelson tunes while drumming his fingers on his leather steering wheel cover. Itβs the first song I wrote that embraced my country roots like that, and came out of a set of circumstances that were making me weary of certain people I had left behind in my hometown.β β Spencer Hoffman
