The leading track on Miranda Lambert's Postcards From Texas album is a quirky, fitting homage to the Lone Star State.

In another live teaser filmed during last weekend's Stubb's Austin pop-up show, Lambert gave fans a preview into "Armadillo" — a song that tells a story too wild to make up. The main character in this song is a hitchhiking armadillo with more than a few surprises up his sleeve.

"I met an armadillo / Out in Amarillo / And he asked me for a light," Lambert sings from the stage. "I said, 'Where ya goin'? / He said, 'I don't really know / And I said, 'Brother, I been there twice ...'"

From there, the story gets even more surprising. "Then he hopped up in the shotgun / Then he started rollin' one / I said, 'We gonna get along fine' / An armadillo with a doobie / And a coldie in a koozie / Had me drivin' to the county line," Lambert sings.

Postcards From Texas centers around Lambert's love for her home state, and when she shared the live preview of "Armadillo," she said she knew it was an album-opening song from the moment she first heard it.

Due out Sept. 13, Lambert's upcoming album also contains her single "Wranglers," as well as tracks like "Alimony," "Dammit Randy" and "No Man's Land."

The project marks her first since departing Sony Nashville, her label home of two decades. She since signed a new deal with Republic Records.
