Little Toy Guns

Song Year: 2015

“Little Toy Guns” tells a story about a young girl whose parents fight all the time, and she’s caught in between them. Underwood sings about how words can hurt as much as bullets, wishing that they instead felt like toy guns that didn’t really cause pain.

The Fighter

Song Year: 2016

“The Fighter” is a duet with Keith Urban, a country star whose voice meshes perfectly with Carrie Underwood’s. The lyrics acknowledge that a man hurt her before and made her too scared to fall in love again, but Urban wants her to realize he’s going to treat her right.

The sweet chorus has the two voices in a call and response, with one posing a question and the other answering it with love and devotion in their voice.

Home Sweet Home

Song Year: 2009

This song is Carrie Underwood’s unique take on a Motley Crue song. She takes the lyrics and makes them her own, singing about how fame can change your lifestyle in the strangest ways. She’s singing for everyone who knows her as a famous singer, but all she wants is to be comfortable at home so she can stay together since so many people rely on her.

Blown Away

Song Year: 2012

This Carrie Underwood song is about a girl’s terrible childhood. The emotional lyrics talk about a girl whose mother died when she was young, and her dad was an abusive alcoholic. He passes out on the couch all the time, so on the night of a tornado, the girl saves herself by hiding by herself in the cellar.

She didn’t try to get her father to safety because she wanted revenge for how he treated her. Though he dies in the storm, the chorus reminds the listener that there’s not enough rain to wash away all the horrible things the girl lived through.
