Lambert and Morris certainly think so. And they say so in their new song, ‘Way Too Pretty For Prison,’ which was released today.
The catchy, tongue-in-cheek tune has the ladies singing about a cheating man.
And it’s ultimate conclusion is that committing murder by slipping arsenic in his drink, or doing anything else that could get them into a lot of trouble, probably isn’t that good an idea, due to the numerous drawbacks of prison.
So what we essentially have here is a girl-anthem, with sound advice!
“I always tell all of my friends leaving, don’t leave if you’ve been drinking, because you’re too pretty for prison,” Lambert told CMT.
The new track features current US touring pal Maren Morris.
“I knew from the second we were writing it that I would love to have Maren on it,” Lambert says.
“It popped in my head right away before the song was even done. So, I asked her to come in and sing on it. It’s such a girl anthem.”

“When people listen to this record, I want them to know that I see them and hear them,” said Lambert.
“I feel you, because I’m just a girl from East Texas, writing about all the things that go on in my world and in the worlds of people around me,” says Lambert
“I want people to get along, you know, just be who you are, own it and move on from the moments you couldn’t live in.”
The new album is her first with producer Jay Joyce.
Joyce has previously worked with the likes of Little Big Town, Brothers Osborne and Eric Church.
Wildcard has been described as an album that moves from fraught, taut rock & roll to gentle folk, classic Wurlitzer country and a bit of funky gospel with Lambert’s signature wit and tongue-in-cheek humour permeating throughout.
If this track is anything to go by, Miranda Lambert fans are not going to be disappointed with what’s in store for them in November.
