“I remember being a little girl, and I would climb out on the top of our roof…and I would count all the stars, and I would look up and I would see the planes flying over my little town of 200 people. And I’d dream about being up there in one of those planes…The funny thing is, I still feel like that little girl…I still climb out on the roof, and I look at the stars, except I feel like I’m a little more eye-level with ’em now,” Lainey shared after accepting her award from legendary country group Alabama.
