There’s no weight on Miranda Lambert’s wings as her sixth studio album has soared to the No.1 spot on the Billboard Country Album Charts. The double-album also notched the No.3 spot on the all genre Billboard Top 200 Chart following its sales of over 122k albums.

The Weight of These Wings is the Texas native’s follow-up to her 2014 project Platinum and features two discs, The Nerve and The Heart. It features a range of topics included in songs like “Vice,” “Highway Vagabonds,” and her latest single, “We Should Be Friends.”

The sassy tongue-in-cheek track, written solely by the singer, includes lyrics like “If you borrow dresses like you borrow time/Dream all day and drink all night/If you’re looking for love but willing to fight/Over men and mama’s and Miller Lite/Well then, we should be friends / I don’t know you well but I know that look/And I can judge the cover because I read the book/On losing sleep and gaining weight/On pain and shame, crazy trains.”

Lambert will continue to fly as she hits in the road at the beginning on 2017 with her Highway Vagabond Tour, featuring special guests Old Dominion and Aubrie Sellers.
