Sam Hunt released his latest new song on Friday (February 10), nodding to small-town life as he portrays what happens when he runs into an ex’s mother at a Walmart store.
Hunt penned the new track with Zach Crowell, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne. The “undercurrent in ‘Walmart’ that life has a way of working out, as Hunt transports the listener to a small town run in with an ex’s mother,” reads a press release from Hunt’s record label posted on Friday morning. “Hunt is introspective while looking back on open-ended questions of his past, now with the knowledge of life and years gone by.”
“I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl/ She had your eyes and your smile, she had your nose and your lips/ Somewhere in our little small-town, small talk girl/ Lost in the grocery aisle, holding a bag of some chips/ I realize that everything happens for a reason/ Losing your love ain’t the end of the world/ I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl/ Your little girl, your little girl”
“Walmart” is the latest offering from Hunt, in addition to recently-released singles “Start Nowhere” and “Water Under the Bridge.” Those songs add to tons of -previously-released fan-favorites, including “Body Like a Back Road,” “Take Your Time,” “23,” “Break Up in a Small Town,” “House Party” and many more.
