lyrics

Both the melody Rodney Atkins‘ ‘Just Wanna Rock N’ Roll’ lyrics will instantly put you in a carefree and happy frame of mind. Crafted by hit songwriters Rodney Clawson and Chris Tompkins, the song allows the listener to escape the crazy life they lead and forget all their troubles — even if it’s just for the duration of the song.

Everything about ‘Take a Little Ride, from the lyrics to the melody, sounds just like a Jason Aldean hit should. That’s exactly what the song’s three writers — Dylan Altman, Rodney Clawson and Jim McCormick — were hoping for when they turned in their demo after penning the song.

Greg Bates‘ ‘Did It for the Girl’ lyrics are simple, sweet and just what country music fans eat up. The heartfelt tune was penned by the newcomer — along with Lynn Hutton and Rodney Clawson — and will be found on Bates’ debut album on Republic Nashville, slated for release later this year.

The lyrics to ‘I Wanna Be That Feeling,’ Bucky Covington‘s new single on the rise, were penned by two of Nashville’s most successful tunesmiths,  Ben Hayslip and Jimmy Yeary. “This is one of those songs that laid around for a long time,” Hayslip admits to Taste of Country of the single.

It seems unlikely that Lady Antebellum would have time to write while out on the road, but the lyrics to ‘Wanted You More’ — their current hit single — were written under those conditions. The tune was born during soundcheck with their backing bandmates, Jason “Slim” Gambill, Matt Billingslea, Jonathan Long and Dennis Edwards, who were all credited on the song.

In a recent interview with People Country, Miranda Lambert breaks down the inspiration behind the ‘Over You’ lyrics, her most recent chart-topping hit. Lambert wrote the tune with her superstar husband Blake Shelton, putting ink to paper to tell the moving story of his older brother Richie’s death.

It’s almost as if Jana Kramer‘s ‘Why Ya Wanna’ lyrics were written especially for her, as she has said many times that she has lived every single word of the song. But at the time it was penned, songwriters Ashley Gorley, Catt Gravitt and Chris DeStefano were just getting together for their first tiple co-write to see what kind of magic they could create next.

If you come from a small town, chances are you can relate to the lyrics to Scotty McCreery‘s new single, ‘Water Tower Town.’ The tune was penned by songwriters Cole Swindell, Tammi Kidd and Lynn Hutton, who each pulled from their own experiences growing up in the south for the song.

Lately, Lindsay Lohan has been known more for her tabloid antics and jail stints than for being an actress, but that doesn’t mean she won’t defend her “good name” anyway. Lohan recently filed a defamation lawsuit against rapper Pitbull because of an unflattering line about her that was included in his hit single, ‘Give Me Everything.’
