I think this song has a lot to do with how hard it is to become successful in the music world and leave behind your midwestern roots. It has a lot of rural colloquialisms that seem to be her relatives or friends from back home in Illinois trying to offer her advice as she leaves behind her home to try and go get something that they don't really understand and have never experienced. But she knows their hearts are in the right place.
