Fans attending Chris Stapleton‘s All-American Road Show concert in Buffalo, New York were insanely lucky— three major things occurred during the show. Miranda Lambert hit the microphone twice and Stapleton debuted a brand new song!
Fellow country music star Miranda Lambert was on the scene to support her boyfriend at the time, Anderson East, who was a special guest on the Kentucky native’s tour. During Stapleton’s set, Lambert emerged much to the joy of the eager audience and took to the stage to help sing “Fire Away.” Chris Stapleton’s “Fire Away” is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the struggles of mental health and the impact it can have on relationships. With its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, the song has resonated with fans across the world and has become one of Stapleton’s most beloved tracks.

The song’s music video, which was directed by Tim Mattia, further explores these themes of mental health and relationship struggles. It tells the story of a couple whose love is put to the test when the woman begins to experience mental health challenges. As she becomes more withdrawn and distant, her partner tries to support her in any way he can, but ultimately feels helpless in the face of her pain. The video’s haunting imagery and powerful performances from the actors help to drive home the song’s message of the importance of compassion and understanding in the face of mental health challenges. Compare the live performance video to the “Fire Away” official music video and check out the lyrics below.
Chris Stapleton Fire Away Official Music Video
Fire Away Lyrics
Honey, load up your questions
And pick up your sticks and your stones
And pretend I’m a shelter
For heartaches that don’t have a home
Choose the words that cut like a razor
And all that I’ll say
Is fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I’m not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away
Well, I wish I could say
That I’ve never been here before
But you know and I know
That I’ll always come back for more
Your love might be my damnation
But I’ll cry to my grave
Fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I’m not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away
Oh, fire away
Take your best shot
Show me what you got
Honey, I’m not afraid
Rear back and take aim
And fire away
Fire away
Oh, fire away
Fire awa
As if those two highlights weren’t enough, additionally Chris Stapleton opted to share a brand-new song called “Trying to Untangle My Mind” for the first time ever during the show. The mid-tempo tune might be our first taste of his upcoming album, From A Room, Volume 2, which is due out later this year.
In late June, Stapleton’s sophomore solo album From A Room: Volume One was certified Gold by the RIAA for selling over 500,000 copies. Both records were recorded in the iconic RCA Studio A in Nashville, which previously hosted such talents as Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton in its storied past.
