Bottoms Up Lyrics

I see you and me riding like Bonnie and Clyde
Goin' 95 burning down 129 yeah
Looking for the law, while I push my luck
She's ridin' shotgun like it ain't no thing
Turn the radio up so the girl can sing right
Pull into the party like "y'all wassup"
Tonight is Bottoms Up up
Throw it on down
Rock this quiet, little country town
Get up, drop a tailgate on ya truck
Find a keg and fill ya cup up

Pretty little mama lookin' at ya like that
Make ya wanna slide on in like "Girl, what’s up"
Yeah tonight is bottoms up up up

Never thought a country song would make you move like that yeah
And she's doing it in daisy dukes
Girl she's got ya tappin' on a boys shoulder

She'll have you on your knee "can I marry you?"

Bottoms Up

Brantley Gilbert's first new song for three years finds Country's bad boy having a good time as he fills his cup from a keg and hooks up with a "pretty little mama."

The phrase "Bottoms Up" is a call to drain one's glass, so that the bottom is uppermost. The drinking toast is of British naval origin.

The prohibition-themed music video features Gilbert and his crew decked out in vintage duds preparing to party as they load up a vintage car with moonshine. "The video was a lot of fun to shoot," Gilbert said. "We had an absolute blast. I'm a huge fan of the Prohibition Era. There were outlaws around, real outlaws. [The video] tells a cool story and I think the band and I and everyone involved had a good time. So, we're proud of it."

This was Brantley Gilbert's third #1 on Hot Country Songs following "Country Must Be Country Wide" and "You Don't Know Her Like I Do."

This was named by TouchTunes, the largest in-venue interactive entertainment network in North America, as the most-played song on jukeboxes in 2014. Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" came second on their list and Pharrell Williams' "Happy" third.

Despite penning the boozy, party-hardy lyrics, Gilbert has been sober since late-2011. When asked why he still writes songs about drinking if he's sworn off alcohol, he replied: "Cause when I drank, I drank 10 times more than the majority of people drink in 10 lifetimes. I earned my stripes. I can sing drinking songs for the rest of my life if I want to."

The 2015 platinum edition of Just As I Am includes a T.I. remix of this song. Though it might raise eyebrows among country purists, Gilbert told Billboard magazine he didn't intend the collaboration to be controversial, "I didn't do it to piss anybody off or stir the water or give [ammunition to] the people that are on a power trip about the 'country and rap is crap' stuff," he said.

"That song was already outside of the box," Gilbert added, "so why not spice it up just a little bit and add a little bit of fun?"

I'm Gone Lyrics

Well there's no suitcase by your front door.
There's no saying goodbye.
Ain't no motor out there running, idling in the drive.
You don't have to keep on looking
For some proof your losing me.
You don't have to keep on waiting,
Afraid I'm gonna leave.

I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere.
We both know it
Girl, I'm already there
It's been over, I don't know why
You're holding on when I'm not going
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm Gone.

What you're hearing is an echo
What you're seeing is a ghost
I'm just dust that hasn't settled
Back down on the road
I went there long ago

I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere
We both know it, girl, I'm already there
It's been over, I don't know why
You're holding on when I'm not going
I'm not going, I'm not going
Yeah all those times you didn't listen
I'm those words you can't take back, I'm gone.

Well, I'm gone
I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere
We both know it girl, I'm already there
It's been over, I don't know why
You're holding on when
I'm not going, I'm not going,
I'm not going,
I'm gone.
I'm gone
Yeah, I'm not going girl, I'm gone

I'm Gone

Brantley Gilbert broke up with his fiancee Jana Kramer in August 2013. He channeled a lot of his feelings about his relationship with the Country music singer-actress on this track. "The song's not written to be mean whatsoever," Gilbert insisted to Seattle radio station 100.7 The Wolf. "I've always been that way where, if something doesn't work out the first time, I won't try to beat a dead horse. It is what it is."

"I think, with these songs, looking back, the good ones and the bad times, it just reiterates the fact that, we made the right decision," he added. "We went for broke, man. We went hard, we went fast. And there's all those questions that were unanswered for a long time. Do I really know what kind of love is? All of that's answered. I do. I still love that girl to death."

Gilbert wrote this with Nashville songwriter Wendell Mobley (Randy Houser's "How Country Feels").

Said Gilbert: "That one kind of had a life of its own. I sat down with Wendell Mobley for the beginning of that one, and then it kinda grew legs and took off. It turned out really good."

Gotta keg of beer and a buncha girls

Yea Man its on tonight right into morning light

Now we gotta field full of daisy dukes
Round here we know how to grow em
Rockin' little body and long tan legs
Sure ain't scared to show em naw

Somebody said them city boys
Riding around looking for some trouble
If they bring it cross that county line
Ya know there's gonna be a rumble

Small Town Throwdown

Gilbert tapped labelmates Thomas Rhett and Justin Moore for this Country-rocker. "Oh, it was awesome," Rhett said to The Boot of working with his Valory Music Co labelmates. "You know, we're the three guys on the label, and so it's just really cool to have, first of all, three of your buddies on a song, and second of all, all three of the guys on your label on the same song."

The song was penned by Gilbert and the Peach Pickers, a songwriter team composed of Rhett Akins (Thomas Rhett's dad), Dallas Davidson, and Ben Hayslip. "It's just a throwdown song, a party song," Gilbert told Billboard magazine. "It's when we all get together out in the middle of nowhere – we don't need a club, a cover charge or nothing. Most of the time, you charge somebody three dollars for a Dixie cup, and let them drink a keg all night."

My Faith In You Lyrics

Yeah, this world will turn its back
When you find yours against that wall
Just watch it as it keeps on spinning
Just like there's nothing wrong.
That's why I'm thumbing through these pages
They say the answers are in red
And I believe they're in there somewhere
I just haven't found 'em yet
It's the only hope that I got left

'Cause I could stand to lose my faith in
Friends that come and go
Yeah, they'll be there when you need them,
They say that when you don't
I could give up on my heroes
Could let myself down, too
But what would I do
If I lost My Faith In You?
My faith in you!

You know I've learned through all these stories
All about the pain you felt
And I know you did all that for me
And I'm still asking you for help
'Cause Lord I just can't help myself!

I could stand to lose my faith in
Friends that come and go
Yeah, they'll be there when you need them,
They say that when you don't
I could give up on my heroes
Could let myself down, too
But what would I do
If I lost my faith in you?
My faith in you

'Cause I've been beaten, I've been broken
I've been dangerously bruised
And Lord, I never would have made it
If I'd of lost my faith in you
If I'd lost my faith in you

Know you always got my back
And I don't know why
It feels like I deserve it
For a hell raiser like me
To have a safe place to land
Can't thank you enough,
You saved my life

I will never lose my faith in you, oh, oh
My faith in you
I'll never lose my faith in you

My Faith In You

Brantley Gilbert broke off his engagement to singer and actress Jana Kramer in August 2013 while he was struggling to maintain his two years of sobriety. The Country star sings about his struggles on this Just As I Am cut, from which he came out stronger and more optimistic. "There is a song called 'My Faith in You' that is really my main spiritual song on the record about my faith and people close to me and the ones who really stood behind me," Gilbert told CMT. "They're my brothers, and if I ever need anything in my life, they are there."

"I was fortunate enough to have a situation in my life where everything did shake out and hit rock bottom, and I did see who was standing there and really saw who had my back for real," he continued. "Had to be the hardest thing and probably the best thing I ever did. No joke."

Ain't No Sunshine Lyrics

Ain't No Sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

Ain't No Sunshine Song Chart

In our interview with Bill Withers, he told us how this song came about: "I was watching a movie called Days Of Wine And Roses (1962) with Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon. They were both alcoholics who were alternately weak and strong. It's like going back for seconds on rat poison. Sometimes you miss things that weren't particularly good for you. It's just something that crossed my mind from watching that movie, and probably something else that happened in my life that I'm not aware of."

This was Withers' first hit. After spending nine years in the US Navy, he had a job at a factory making parts for airplanes when he was introduced to Booker T. Jones from Booker T. & the MG's. Booker was an elite session musician with Stax Records, where Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and many other soul legends recorded. He brought in some other top-notch musicians, including Stephen Stills on lead guitar, and produced this album for Withers, who was 32 when it was recorded.

This was released as the B-side to another song called "Harlem." Disc jockeys played this as the single instead and it became a hit.

All the instruments on this are acoustic.

The part where Withers repeats "I know, I know," has become a very recognizable piece of the song, but it wasn't what he had in mind. Withers told us: "I wasn't going to do that, then Booker T. said, 'No, leave it like that.' I was going to write something there, but there was a general consensus in the studio. It was an interesting thing because I've got all these guys that were already established, and I was working in the factory at the time. Graham Nash was sitting right in front of me, just offering his support. Stephen Stills was playing and there was Booker T. and Al Jackson and Donald Dunn - all of the MGs except Steve Cropper. They were all these people with all this experience and all these reputations, and I was this factory worker just sort of puttering around. So when their general feeling was, 'Leave it like that,' I left it like that."

The MGs were the backup band for Otis Redding when he recorded "Dock Of The Bay" in 1967. The famous whistling in the third verse of that song was something Redding did to fill time until he could fill it in with some words. He never had the chance because he died in a plane crash 3 days later. The whistling stayed, just like Withers' verse of "I knows."

On its first release, this song did not chart in the UK, but Michael Jackson's cover hit #8 there in 1972. Withers original version eventually made its first entry into the UK singles chart in May 2009 after being performed on Britain's Got Talent by contestant Shaun Smith.

Withers performed this on an episode of The Old Grey Whistle Test, a British TV show that ran from 1971-1987 and featured a variety of musical guests. In the '70s, the show was shot in a small studio with no audience, which resulted in more relaxed performances where the artists could concentrate on their music. Withers' appearance is considered a classic from the show, and was included in a DVD compilation released in 2001.

Won the Grammy for Best R&B Song in 1972.

This was used in the movies Girls Town (1996), Notting Hill (1999), Old School (2003) and Munich (2005). TV shows to use the song include Monk (2005), CSI: NY (2009) and Scandal (2013).

Besides Michael Jackson, this has been covered by many artists in a wide range of styles. Paul McCartney, Isaac Hayes, Lionel Hampton, Prince, Sting, Kenny Rogers, Tom Jones and Lighthouse Family have all recorded it. It was also sampled by rapper DMX for his 2001 song "No Sunshine."

Sax player Grover Washington became the first person to cover one of Withers' songs when he did an instrumental version shortly after Withers released his. In 1981, Washington and Withers teamed up to record "Just The Two Of Us."

There is no introduction on this song, as the vocals come in right away. This was thought of as bad for marketing purposes, as it meant disc jockeys couldn't talk it up, but it gave the song a more interesting structure. Withers' label Sussex Records gave him plenty of artistic freedom, which he lost when Sussex folded and he moved to Columbia. In the 2009 documentary Still Bill, Withers explains, "If nobody throws all their rules at you, you might make a song with no introduction."

The metal band Black Label Society recorded this song and issued it as a single in 2013. Band members John DeServio and Zakk Wylde decided to cover it after seeing a 1974 episode of the TV show The Midnight Special, where Withers performed the song.

Black Label Society made an unusual video for the song featuring anthropomorphic horses. In our interview with Zakk Wylde , he said that he got a kick out of reading the negative comments about the video from folks who didn't get the joke, comparing the hostility to what his professional wrestler friends get when they turn heel.

Stevie Wonder inducted Bill Withers into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. At the ceremony, Wonder performed this song with Withers sitting next to him on stage. Withers decided not to perform at the ceremony, although he appeared midway through Wonder and John Legend's performance of "Lean On Me" to join on vocals.

In the 2015 Shawn Mendes song "I Know What You Did Last Summer," he and his duet partner Camila Cabello sing "I know" sections similar to how Withers did in "Ain't No Sunshine." Wither was given a songwriting credit because the vocal is so similar.
