I was really happy Luke Combs asked Tracy there to give her, her due for the song . There was a whole generation that thought he wrote the song and at the award show he was saying nope here's who wrote it and deferred to her. Makes me cry every time I see it.

The first time I heard it, I damn near pulled off the road. They got a 12 bar blues on the radio? Holy Shit!!
I know, it digresses from the pattern in parts. But it's one of my favorite forms for lyrics. You have exactly 8 bars of words to get your point across and it forces not a single word to be wasted. Every word counts.
Fast Car is also a hell of a song.
