The third single off of Kacey Musgraves' debut full-length studio album, “Follow Your Arrow” goes through the double standards of life with the inspirational message of doing whatever you want despite what other people say or think.
She had this to say in her Spotify interview:
It’s funny, because...
[Verse 1]
If you save yourself for marriage, you're a bore
If you don't save yourself for marriage, you're a horrible person
If you won't have a drink, then you're a prude
But they'll call you a drunk as soon as you down the first one
If you can't lose the weight, then you're just fat
But if you lose too much, then you're on crack
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
So, you might as well just do whatever you want
[Chorus]
So make lots of noise (Hey)
Kiss lots of boys (Yeah)
Or kiss lots of girls, if that's somethin' you're into
When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow wherever it points
[Verse 2]
If you don't go to church, you'll go to Hell
If you're the first one on the front row, you're a self-righteous son of a
Can't win for losin', you'll just disappoint 'em
Just 'cause you can't beat 'em, don't mean you should join 'em
[Chorus]
So make lots of noise (Hey)
Kiss lots of boys (Yeah)
Or kiss lots of girls, if that's somethin' you're into
When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow wherever it points
[Bridge]
Say what you think (Say what you think)
Love who you love (Love who you love)
'Cause you just get so many trips around the sun
Yeah, you only, only live once
[Chorus]
So make lots of noise (Hey)
Kiss lots of boys (Yeah)
Or kiss lots of girls, if that's what you're into
When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, I would
And follow your arrow wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow wherever it points

In 2018, NPR ranked this as the #22 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:
Kacey Musgraves established herself as country music’s new-generation statement-maker when she insisted on releasing ‘Follow Your Arrow’ as her third single. It was nothing new for a count...
Co-writer Shane McAnally:
It didn’t hit me right away. “‘Follow Your Arrow’ sounds like something from a bumper sticker, not a song. But Kacey has a way when she starts singing something; you’re like ‘OK, that makes sense to me now.”
Musgraves’ label, Mercury Nashville, wanted the song to appear o...
