Tiny little boxes in a row.
Ain't what you want, it's what you know.
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.
Same checks we're always cashin' to buy a little more distraction.

No, she had already started listening to secular music as she was recording Katy Hudson. She used to go to the shows of songer singwriters like Jonatha Brooke in Nashville (I think)
In this old interview w/ a Christian magazine she already cited secular influences.
she was discovered by representatives from Pamplin (parent company of her label, Red Hill). "The funny thing is, I was doing complete dance pop music?the epitome of where I didn?t want to be."
even the music she likes (which are very indie and alternstive pop) now literally is nothing like the music she puts out. she has good taste but it doesn't show in her own music
