McBryde enjoys "Arkansas Mud"

The song is a fast-talking declaration that name-checks prescription amphetamines and Lynyrd Skynyrd songs.

"We've all filed an edge down here or there at someone else's request," McBryde said. "'Arkansas Mud' is about rediscovering and re-honing those edges."

"It takes some gumption to sing a line like 'Romans 3 and 23, don't you point your book at me,' and I know a lot of that gumption comes from growing up in the woods in the middle of the Ozark Mountains," she said.

McBryde, Jessie Jo Dillon and Chris Tompkins wrote the song. A video also was released.

"Dimming your light or denying yourself causes all kinds of problems. Drinking problems, substance problems," McBryde said on social media earlier this week. "Even as the chick that's known for sticking to her guns, there are parts of me I still let slip away. I don't mind telling you now, I tried to fill those spots with all the wrong things. And that time has passed."

"Arkansas Mud" and January release "What If We Don't" both preview McBryde's upcoming fifth studio album, including her journey to sobriety, growing up years in Arkansas, religious trauma and family of origin. "What If We Don't" impacts country radio on Monday.
