Overrated Lyrics

This rock we're rolling on
Is like a circus ride that don't last long
Round and round we go and then we're gone
We waste time chasing ghosts
And overlook the things that matter most
We get so caught up in the maybes
Just trying to be somebody baby
While we're slowly going crazy

Building up a stack of bones
Keeping up with the Jones
Getting us all so jacked and jaded
Baby if you're asking me
Love is really all we need
Everything else is Overrated, overrated

We amputate the heart
'Cause we can't let 'em see the broken part
Water down, unwind, and jump the shark
We build our castles tall
Just so we can have the higher walls
But it no matter where you came from
Or where it is you get your name from
We're going down if we don't change some

Building up a stack of bones
Keeping up with the Jones
Getting us all so jacked and jaded
Baby if you're asking me
Love is really all we need
Everything else is overrated, overrated

We're all running after something
But if it ain't love it's nothing

It don't matter where you came from
Or where it is you get your name from
We're going down if we don't change some
I'm talking 'bout a ball of flames, son

Building up a stack of bones
Keeping up with the Jones
Getting us all so jacked and jaded
Baby if you're asking me
Love is really all we need
Everything else is overrated, overrated yeah

Overrated, overrated, overrated

Overrated Song Chart

This banjo-laden track finds McGraw singing about love being the most important thing in life over foot stomping rhythms.

Baby if you're asking me, love is really all we need
Everything else is overrated, overrated

The song was written by Shane McAnally (Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart"), Josh Osborne (Blake Shelton's "My Eyes") and Rivers Rutherford (Montgomery Gentry's "If You Ever Stop Loving Me").

The song is mostly about love being the main thing you need, but it also touches on working hard when not taking time to slow down and appreciate what's really important. McGraw told Taste of Country that he loves, "the drive underneath the song which says, 'It's OK to fight … It's OK to go out and try to succeed,'" He added, "'It's OK to be in the battle everyday and struggle and try to win.'"

The song is singled out by McGraw as the one that set the tone for the entire Sundown Heaven Town album. "I just try to find songs that move me," he told Rolling Stone Country. "Then I go into the studio and we all try to be inventive, come up with different sounds that try to fit the mood. Hopefully that falls into something that's fresh and modern, but sounds familiar at the same time."
