After serving as the frontman of bluegrass group The SteelDrivers from 2008 to 2010, Stapleton released his debut studio album Traveller in 2015, which reached number one on the US Billboard 200 and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Among several accolades, he won the Country Music Association Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards for Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, and the Grammy Award for Best Country Album and Best Country Solo Performance at the 58th annual ceremony. His second studio album, From A Room: Volume 1 was released on May 5, 2017, reached number two on the US Billboard 200, and to date has surpassed 500,000 units sold. Six months later, Stapleton released follow-up album, From A Room: Volume 2, which, like its predecessor, debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200.
Stapleton was born in a Lexington, Kentucky hospital. His mother worked at the local health department and his father was a coal miner. He comes from a family of coal miners.[12][13] He has an older brother and younger sister.[14][15]
Stapleton grew up in the small town of Staffordsville, Kentucky, which is located just outside of Paintsville, located between the city and the Paintsville lake. He graduated from Johnson Central High School where he was his class valedictorian and attended Vanderbilt University where he studied engineering, but dropped out after a year.
Stapleton is married to singer-songwriter Morgane Hayes, who co-wrote Carrie Underwood's 2006 single "Don't Forget to Remember Me". She had a recording deal with Arista Nashville. The couple met when they were working at adjacent publishing houses. They have two children and live in Nashville.
You Should Probably Leave
Chris Stapleton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you should probably leave
And I recognize that look in your eyes
Yeah, you should probably leave
'Cause I know you and you know me
And we both know where this is gonna lead
You want me to say that I want you to stay
Yeah, you should probably leave
There's still time for you to finish your wine
Then you should probably leave
And it's hard to resist, alright, just one kiss
Then you should probably leave
'Cause I know you and you know me
And we both know where this is gonna lead
You want me to say that I want you to stay
So you should probably leave
Yeah, you should probably leave
Like a devil on my shoulder you keep whisperin' in my ear
And it's gettin' kinda hard for me to do the right thing here
I wanna do the right thing, baby
Sun on your skin, 6 AM
And I been watchin' you sleep
And honey, I'm so afraid you're gonna wake up and say
That you should probably leave
'Cause I know you and you know me
And we both know where this is gonna lead
I want you to stay but you'll probably say
That you should probably leave
Yeah, you should probably leave
Oh, you should probably leave
In Chris Stapleton's song "You Should Probably Leave", the singer recognizes the look in his love interest's eyes and urges her to leave before things go too far between them. He admits that they both know where their relationship is heading and that he wants her to stay, but knows she should probably leave. Throughout the song, he attempts to resist her advances because he knows it's the right thing to do, but finds it increasingly difficult as the night wears on. He watches her as she sleeps in the early morning hours, afraid that she'll wake up and realize that she should probably leave.
The song explores the tension between desire and responsibility in a romantic relationship. The singer is clearly drawn to his love interest, but he's also aware of the consequences of acting on those feelings. He doesn't want to hurt her or lead her down a path they can't return from, so he tries to do the right thing by urging her to leave.
Stapleton's voice and the raw, emotional tone of the lyrics create a sense of urgency and intensity that builds throughout the song. As a listener, you're drawn into the singer's struggle and can feel the tension as he tries to do the right thing.
