If Phil Vassar's 'Don't Miss Your Life' lyrics sound like they're from the heart of a dad, it's because they are! The singing father of two wrote the touching and tender new single with good friend and frequent collaborator Charlie Black, following a plane ride that changed his outlook on the way he was living his life.
Brantley Gilbert 'Kick It in the Sticks' lyrics were penned by the singer and two-thirds of Nashville's hottest writing team, the Peach Pickers (Ben Hayslip and Rhett Akins). While all three have writing credits for crafting the song -- Gilbert's latest single -- Hayslip and Akins were surprised by the outcome, seeing how the threesome were never in the same room together when the hit was born.
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.
We all knew when Tim McGraw delivered new music, he would come armed with something that would make an impact. The 'Truck Yeah' lyrics, penned by Preston Brust and Chris Lucas of LoCash Cowboys, along with Chris Janson and Danny Myrick, do just that.
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.
When Kip Moore sat down to write his latest hit, 'Beer Money,' he knew what kind of lyrics would resonate with himself to sing night after night. With the help of co-writers Blair Daly and Troy Verges, Moore is on the brink of having another chart-topping smash to follow in the footsteps of his last singalong hit, 'Somethin' 'Bout a Truck.'
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.
Sara Evans may have missed out on contributing to the 'Anywhere' lyrics (her latest single), but she is not complaining one bit after snagging the tune for her latest album. The soon-to-be-hit was crafted by new songwriter on the rise, Jaren Johnston and Evans' brother, Matt Evans.
