Tragic Details About Miranda Lambert

"My parents worked their a**es off my whole life, but when you are self-employed like that, sometimes things just go down the tubes, and the phone stops ringing," Miranda Lambert told Success. "You just have to start over, and that's what they did."

"My parents worked their a**es off my whole life, but when you are self-employed like that, sometimes things just go down the tubes, and the phone stops ringing," Miranda Lambert told Success. "You just have to start over, and that's what they did." 

That meant the Lamberts rented a small house described as "rat-infested" in From Cradle To Stage: Stories From Mothers Who Rocked And Raised Rock Stars. Miranda's mom Beverly Lambert told author Virginia Hanlon Grohl that she would pray, "God, give me the ground under my feet." Beverly drove past a specific house every day that she dreamed of living in and prayed for that, too. One day, her prayers were answered by a preacher who had noticed her and offered to rent the family the home for less than they were paying at the time.

Of those hard times, Miranda told Success, "I learned how to do chores because you have to carry your weight." When they were more stable again, the Lamberts still "lived off the land" to support themselves. Richard Lambert would hunt to put meat on the table for his family, and Miranda developed a love for the sport. "My dad said, 'My family will never go hungry again,' and we didn't," she continued in Success. "So I guess I got that fighter spirit in me because I want to work, I want to provide, because back when I was a kid, it got ingrained in me."
