Monroe and Jesse Frasure, specifically with Leon in mind,” shares Lambert of the longing ballad of unrequited love. “Since we are both from Texas, we threw in a few Texas references, of course – the Frio River being one. When we finished this song, we sent it to Leon in hopes that he would want to collaborate and we were so glad that he said yes. I have really enjoyed getting to know him and I’m happy to


have him as a new friend.”
