Miranda Lambert in her ’55 Chevy pickup<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A recent survey published by money.co.uk<\/a> about the prevalence of truck references in country music inspired a number of articles on what can only be described as the “truck song.” Although the percentage of songs with truck references over the years has varied, it has always been a popular theme. The truck song reached its height during the 2010s in a genre referred to as \u201cbro country.\u201d As described in a 2013 article in Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/em>, this country category is \u201cbasically a bunch of guys singing about trucks, headlights, rolled-down windows, jeans, alcohol, moonlit makeouts, and sex on the river beds beside old dirt roads\u201d (Jones). The common theme in these songs is the ways in which a man\u2019s truck serves as a site of sexual conquest. Bro Country represents a rather stereotypical and good ol\u2019 boy type of masculinity. In these renditions, women [most often referred to as \u2018girls\u2019] do not drive the trucks; rather, they are prizes to be seduced by a bro in a lifted Chevy Silverado or Ford Super Duty F-250 King Ranch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is surprising, therefore, is that two of the top five streaming truck songs on Spotify<\/em> are by women artists – Carrie Underwood\u2019s \u201cBefore He Cheats\u201d, and \u201cAutomatic\u201d by Miranda Lambert. In 2020, Detroit auto journalist Mark Phelan<\/a> noted, women were responsible for about half as many truck songs as \u201cthe good ol\u2019 boys.\u201d But the messages found in songs composed by women differ from those of male country singers. Like singer-songwriters in a variety of genres, country music artists create songs out of their own experiences. As I argue in my work on the women\u2019s car song, female artists alter the meaning of the automobile to fit their own life events. As I wrote, \u201ccar songs based on women\u2019s experience [\u2026] contest the exclusive relationship of the automobile to masculinity as well as provide alternative and multiple ways to consider the meanings women ascribe to cars\u201d (163). This would certainly hold true for songs about the pickup truck, a vehicle historically associated with masculinity, particularly of the ‘bro’ variety. Underwood and Lambert, country legends in their own right, provide two examples of the truck song created from women\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I note in my work on female pickup owners: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of all the vehicles produced for the American driver, perhaps none is more strongly associated with masculinity than the full size pickup truck. [\u2026] pickups are often accessorized with \u2018decorative\u2019 additions \u2013 women\u2019s garters hanging from rearview mirrors, plastic testicles dangling from trailer hitches and mud flaps featuring large breasted women \u2013 to mark the vehicle as a male space. Pickup advertising often relies on masculine tropes and gender stereotypes with headlines such as \u2018A diamond for her hand, a hemi for his foot\u2019, and \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s good to be King\u2019. Marketing has traditionally called upon terms such as hardworking, tough, strong and powerful to describe the truck as well as the man who drives it (136). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Carrie Underwood “Before He Cheats”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In \u201cBefore He Cheats,\u201d the pickup is not only the site of a man\u2019s infidelity, but serves as the physical embodiment of his masculine identity. To seek revenge for unfaithfulness, Underwood desecrates that which will hurt her lover the most \u2013 not his person, but the object through which he identifies. The vandalization of the truck is not a simple act of passion or rage; rather, each verse in the refrain describes a specific action intended to destroy a fragment of her lover\u2019s manhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Underwood sings, \u201cI dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive,\u201d she is returning the hurt she endured through her man\u2019s cheating. So as not to forget the woman he wronged, Underwood \u201ccarved my name into his leather seats,\u201d to leave a permanent and unmistakable reminder of the man\u2019s indiscretion. \u201cI took a Louisville slugger to both head lights\u201d has Shakespearean overtones. Shakespearean characters are often made blind \u2013 literally have their eyes ripped out \u2013 in order to prevent them from inflicting harm or engaging in wrongdoing. Underwood wants to insure her betrayer can no longer look upon nor be tempted by the \u201cbleached-blond tramp\u201d singing some \u201cwhite-trash version of Shania karaoke.\u201d And finally, Underwood belts, \u201cI slashed a hole in all four tires,\u201d an action taken to strip away the freedom and mobility his souped-up truck provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda Lambert\u2019s \u201cAutomatic,\u201d on the other hand, is a nostalgic look at the past. As Lambert reflects in a Songfacts<\/a><\/em> interview, the song is \u201cabout slowing down, taking a breath and remembering what it\u2019s like to live life a little more simply.\u201d The truck is a stick-shift, 3-on-the-tree, 55 Chevy in which Lambert\u2019s father taught her to drive [and which she still owns.] It is a metaphor for a slowed-down life, in which folks took their time, did things by hand, waited in line, and had patience in relationships and love. Automatic, of course, refers to the easy-driving, effortless transmissions found in over 98% of cars on the road today (Wiesenfelder). It also suggests a life carried on without too much thought, where getting things easy is the norm. “Automatic” reflects on Lambert\u2019s own road to success; she hangs on to the truck so as not to be forgetful of the road her life has taken and how she got there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As these two examples suggests, unlike the bro country truck song, which centers on sexual prowess, braggadocio, and other characteristics of what could be described as a \u201credneck\u201d masculinity, women\u2019s experience, automotive and otherwise, is what drives the message of the songs women sing about trucks. Women\u2019s lives, and their relationships with cars and trucks, differ from those of men. Those unique experiences are often reflected in the country woman\u2019s truck song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
