Eric Church’s Mom Hilariously Thought “Two Pink Lines” Was About “Lions,”

Eric Church’s hit song “Two Pink Lines” was actually inspired by a personal experience he had as a teenager.

Despite the song’s authenticity and relatable storyline, Church’s mom hilariously misinterpreted the lyrics, thinking he was singing about “lions” instead of “lines.”

She continued to support him, even though she didn’t quite understand the true meaning of the song for years. ‘Why are you singing about two pink lions?’ I said, ‘Mom, I happen to love lions; I’m a big cat fan,’”  Church’s mother asked. Eric then had to run with the narrative for fun.

Despite not being a chart-topping single, “Two Pink Lines” remains a fan favorite and a classic in Eric Church’s discography.
