This is one that I wrote with my pal here, Melody Walker.
She's not in the house tonight but she lives right here in Nashville, and we wrote this song 'cause we both kinda grew up feeling different from the other kids.
And learned to embrace our differences when we got a little older.
This is a song for anyone who's ever felt that same way.
