Break It Down
Garth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your gonna get left if you don't get right child
So forget your troubles and forget the news
We're gonna pull the plug and black out them blues
And if your tie's to tight then adjust the noose
'Cause if your gonna hang tight cut loose
Tearin' it up
And we're burin' it down
'Till the sun come back around
'Cause we all came here to party
We came to come unwound
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
Just to tear it up
And to burn it down
We love to hear you stomp and sing
Just swamp a little southeast western swing thing
So just grab unto each other and let go
Make a little midnight moonlight mojo
When the magic happens let it all hang out
If you want to join the fun shout
Tearin' it up
And we're burin' it down
Hey daddy's hide your daughters
'Till the sun come back around
'Cause we all came here to party
We came to come unwound
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
Just to tear it up
And to burn it down
Tearin' it up
And we're burin' it down
Hey daddy's hide your daughters
'Till that sun come back around
'Cause we all came here to party
We came to come unwound
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
Just to tear it up
And to burn it down
We know you like to party
We know you like to throw it down
So go tell everybody
Let's get them all around
We're gonna tear it up
And burn it down

If I had a time machine, I be revisiting some of these parties over & over for the rest of my life! This was a very special time and those who were there can appreciate that those beautiful, wonderful, magical, WICKED mornings, were 100% fiercely WICKED!

Jeno has a BUNCH of video from the Full Moons and he and Martin Obrien even made a documentary.. and then had a falling out and Jeno walked with the footage and just like that .. no documentary.

I bought this mix tape in St. Louis in Im going to say 94 or 95..... Lost it years ago and thought it was a lost cause to hear again. DAAAAMN! Thanks for putting it on Youtube!
@robertsendejo7182
This mixed compilation of music is Garths' favorite songs put together to create a new song,beat, or rhythm. It took four turntables, mixer, sound equipment, and patients to make this recording. I was there.
@anthonybardarama
Thanks for that information. This is one of my favorites and I have held on to it all of these years... I love my music!
@robertsendejo7182
+anthony bardarama you are very welcome. I do not think the music industry will be as deep as it was in the 1990's and the rave scene. Unless, another crew like WICKED gets created.
@akb1220
CLASSIC tape. And one of Garths best IMO. Thanks!
