Haley & Lauren performed this duet on the results show, Thursday.
"Gunpowder & Lead" is the title of a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Miranda Lambert on her 2007 album Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The album's third single, it became Lambert's first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs in July 2008. Its lyrics focus on the narrator, who tells of her plans to shoot her abusive husband once he is let out of jail. The song has been compared to "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks and "Independence Day" by Martina McBride, both of which feature abused wives killing their husbands as well. According to Lambert, the song's storyline was inspired by a point in her life when her parents would take abuse victims into their home, and she had to share her bedroom with a mother and daughter.
"Gunpowder & Lead" debuted at number 51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the chart week of January 19, 2008. The song became Lambert's first Top 10 hit; it peaked at number 7 on August 16, 2008.
