Dean Brody was born in Jaffray, British Columbia, Canada.[2] As a boy, Brody worked at a sawmill, also playing guitar in his spare time. By 2004, he had moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue his musical career. Although he found a songwriting contract, the expiration of his US work permit forced him to move back to Canada. Eventually, he returned to Nashville through the suggestion of producer Keith Stegall, who helped him sign with Broken Bow Records in 2008.[2] Brody released his debut single, "Brothers", late that year. Shortly before its release, Brody was injured in a waterskiing accident.[3]
Bring Down the House
Dean Brody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm from the country, you're from the city
I drive a truck, you think that's silly
But there's another side of me you know you'd like to see, ain't that right?
Oh that's right
I got my money, in my pocketA girl beside me, a little bottle rocket
There's a finger on her lips and a swagger in her hips
Tonight, tonight, tonight
And I say "hey, I want you girl"
You make my heart, heart flutter like a tilt-a-whirl
It's getting freaky on the floor, feel that rumbling sound
I might have grown up in a barn but I can bring down the house
I'm wearing camo, y'all hastag this
This party's raging, you won't wanna miss
All my buddies turning up, parking lot is full of trucks
Hang on tight, hang on tight, oh my, my, my
And I say "hey, I want you girl"
You make my heart, heart flutter like a tilt-a-whirl
It's getting freaky on the floor feel that rumbling sound
I might have grown up in a barn but I can bring down the house
And we go down, down, down, down
The club goes round, round, round, round
We take it to the ground, ground, ground, ground
Ooh, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
And we go down, down, downtown
The club goes round, round, round, round
Ooh tonight
And I say "hey, I want you girl"
You make my heart, heart flutter like a tilt-a-whirl
It's getting freaky on the floor feel that rumbling sound
I might have grown up in a barn but I can bring down the house
And we go down, down, down, down
The club goes round, round, round, round
We take it to the ground, ground, ground, ground
Ooh tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Girl you're so wonderful, why don't we ditch this floor
Head out to the barn, I'll hold you in my arms
And I'll show you the stars
Ooh, ooh, ooh, hey, I want you girl
You make my heart flutter like a tilt-a-whirl
It's getting freaky on the floor feel that rumbling sound
And I say "hey, I, want you girl"
You make my heart, heart flutter like a tilt-a-whirl
It's getting freaky on the floor feel that rumbling sound
I might have grown up in a barn but I can bring down the house

I'm from the country, you're from the city
I come from rural areas, and you come from the city
I drive a truck, you think that's silly
I own a truck, and you find it ridiculous
But there's another side of me you know you'd like to see, ain't that right?
I have some hidden, attractive qualities that you might appreciate
I got my money, in my pocket
I am financially well-off
A girl beside me, a little bottle rocket
I am accompanied by a lively and vibrant girl
There's a finger on her lips and a swagger in her hips
She has a gesture of silence and a confident walk
Tonight, tonight, tonight
This evening is going to be exciting
And I say "hey, I want you girl"
I express my interest in a girl
You make my heart, heart flutter like a tilt-a-whirl
You excite me and make my heart beat rapidly like a ride at the amusement park called Tilt-A-Whirl
It's getting freaky on the floor, feel that rumbling sound
The party is heating up and the bass is getting louder
I might have grown up in a barn but I can bring down the house
Although I may have grown up in a rural setting, I can still be the life of the party and create an amazing atmosphere
I'm wearing camo, y'all hastag this
I am dressed in camouflage clothing and I invite everyone to take photos and post them on social media
This party's raging, you won't wanna miss
The party is getting intense, and you will definitely regret not attending
All my buddies turning up, parking lot is full of trucks
All of my friends are here, and the parking lot is crowded with numerous trucks
Hang on tight, hang on tight, oh my, my, my
Get ready for a thrilling and unforgettable experience
And we go down, down, down, down
We lower ourselves to the ground
The club goes round, round, round, round
The music in the club is loud and the bass is strong
We take it to the ground, ground, ground, ground
We dance close to the ground
Ooh, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
This is going to be a wild evening
Girl you're so wonderful, why don't we ditch this floor
You are amazing, why don't we leave the dance floor
Head out to the barn, I'll hold you in my arms
We can go to the barn, and I can hold you close to me
And I'll show you the stars
I will show you the stars in the night sky

I was in Iraq when my sister passed. I came back to the BC interior for her funeral. Turned on the radio in the rental car and heard this song for the first time. I listened to it again and again. It reminds me of that time, that it made me smile it a lousy situation. I'll always be a fan of Dean Brody...keep it up.
