Diamondback (Commentary)

I was brought in on an idea that Shane McAnally actually had And he said, "I wanna write this song called "Diamondback" and- Initially, I think he wanted to write it like a diamondback snake And then they threw me in the mix and it became a little different It came at the end of the writing of '29 I think it may have actually been the last song And it felt kinda like this little gem That none of us really knew that we needed But it felt right for the project And to me, it's reminiscent of The Chicks when Natalie Maines was just fiery and going for it
