The group's members are: Larry Stewart, John Dittrich, Dave Innis, Paul Gregg and Greg Jennings. The members have diverse musical backgrounds, and developed a sound that has been compared to The Eagles. Primarily a country band, they crossed over to Adult Contemporary with singles from their Wheels and Big Iron Horses albums, and enjoyed their biggest crossover hit with "When She Cries" during late 1992.

Larry Stewart left Restless Heart in late 1991 after the group released the compilation "The Best of Restless Heart." The group then became a quartet and released "Big Iron Horses" in 1992 shortly after which Dave Innis left the group. The group released "Matters of the Heart" in 1994 before splitting up. In 1998, a reunited Restless Heart (minus Innis) recorded three new songs for a Greatest Hits album and then toured with Vince Gill for about a year.

In 2003, all five members reunited and recorded the album "Still Restless" for Koch Nashville in 2004. The record label closed in early 2005 leaving the group without a label. They are still touring and released a live album through their website in August 2007.

We Got The Love
Restless Heart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the good Lord was handing out
The best things from above
We got the love
We got the love
I know we don't have a lot of money
We can barely keep the bills paid honey
But when we're in each other's arms
Who needs all that stuff

We got the love
We got the love
Don't need the finer things
Fancy cars or no diamond rings
I want to roll down a simple road
Rock with you when we get old
Sometimes life's a desperate situation
Sometimes it's just grim determination
But I know we'll do what it takes
To make us tough enough
We got the love
We got the love
We got the love
We got the love
Don't need the finer things
Fancy cars or no diamond rings
I want to roll down a simple road
Rock with you when we get old
Built this house of bricks and stone together
Trying to make it strong to last forever
But if these walls come tumblin' down
We still ain't givin' up
We got the love
We got the love
We got the love
We got the love

Roll down a simple road
Rock with you till we get old.....

However, if our creation breaks down

We still ain't givin' up
We will not give up on each other

Roll down a simple road
Experience the joys of life together

Rock with you till we get old
Be together until we grow old
