Anyone who has ever felt out of place will surely love Breland's "Cross Country" remix featuring Mickey Guyton. Not only is it a catchy tune, but it also delves into the singer's story, which includes finding his place even when that isn't always an easy thing to do.

"I tried to fit in but didn't / I'm different, yeah, I know ... / The houses I stayed in were great / But they never felt like home," we hear in the pre-chorus, per Genius. From there, in the chorus, listeners are told, "I'm goin' cross country / I won't stop running 'til I find where I belong." Beyond that, Breland continues, "I'm goin' cross country / Know they might judge me, I ain't gotta prove 'em wrong / 'Cause I know it's okay to be in my own lane."

While those lyrics seem to sum it up, it's clear that Breland wants those who are listening to the song to know that although he knows that he's different, he also knows that it's okay to be who he truly is even if others don't understand. However, he is also aware of the fact that there's still a place for him out there somewhere. That's why he ends the chorus by singing, "When I'm doing what they say can't be done / I'm goin' cross country / I won't stop running 'til I find where I belong..."
