Besides these two songs, five more of Montgomery's singles have reached the top of the country charts: "I Love the Way You Love Me", "Be My Baby Tonight", "If You've Got Love", "I Can Love You Like That", and "The Little Girl", while thirteen more have reached Top Ten. Montgomery's recordings of "I Swear" and "I Can Love You Like That" were both released concurrently with R&B versions by the group All-4-One. Montgomery has also released eleven studio albums, counting a Christmas album.
John Michael joined the family band (which also included his brother, Eddie Montgomery, who would later join Troy Gentry in the duo Montgomery Gentry) as guitarist before taking the lead singing role when his parents divorced. Afterwards, he made a frugal living on the local honky-tonk scene as a solo artist playing what he referred to as "working man's country." Eventually, Atlantic Records signed him.
Let's Get Lost
John Michael Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even in this crowded room
They can talk but I ain't listening
'Cause my eyes are on you
Watching you move, it's like it's just you and me
Let's get lost, come undone
Let's lay a blanket down, watch the sun come up
We'll leave this crazy world behind
Let's get lost
All night I've been wishin'
We could just take off and drive
No plans, no directions, just you and I
Tryin' to find our own little piece of heaven
Let's get lost, come undone
Let's lay a blanket down, watch the sun come up
Let me feel your body on mine
We'll leave this crazy world behind
Let's get lost
Let's get lost, come undone
Let's lay a blanket down, watch the sun come up
Let me feel your body on mine
We'll leave this crazy world behind
Let's get lost, let's get lost
John Michael Montgomery captures the essence of falling in love with his lyrics in the song "Let's Get Lost". The opening lines of the song reveal that the singer is smitten with someone in a crowded room. The person has caught his attention, and he can't take his eyes off of them. The lyrics suggest that amidst all the noise, the only thing that matters is the person he has set his eyes on. Watching the person move evokes an intimate moment between the two of them, even in a crowded room.
The chorus brings out the feeling of wanting to escape into a private space with this person. The singer wishes to leave the "crazy world" behind and get lost with the person he has set his eyes upon. He asks the person to lay a blanket down and watches the sun come up. He wants to feel their body on his and try to find their own little piece of heaven. The lyrics evoke a sense of wanting to escape from the world and just be with that person for eternity.
The song is a testament to the fact that falling in love is a beautiful experience that makes everything else in the world irrelevant. The lyrics of John Michael Montgomery's "Let's Get Lost" capture this sentiment excellently.

Baby, you got my attention
I am completely focused on you, ignoring everything else in this busy room
Even in this crowded room
Despite all the other people around us, you're the only one I care about
They can talk but I ain't listening
I'm uninterested in anything others have to say because my only concern is you
'Cause my eyes are on you
I am fixated on you and am not willing to look away
Watching you move, it's like it's just you and me
In this moment, it feels like we're the only two people in the world
All night I've been wishin'
I've been thinking about this all night long
We could just take off and drive
Let's go on an adventure without any particular destination in mind
No plans, no directions, just you and I
We don't need to have anything planned out, we can just go with the flow together
Tryin' to find our own little piece of heaven
We're searching for something special and unique that we can share together
Let's get lost, come undone
Let's be completely free and uninhibited with each other
Let's lay a blanket down, watch the sun come up
Let's spend quality time with each other, experiencing nature's beauty
Let me feel your body on mine
I want to be close to you and feel your touch
We'll leave this crazy world behind
When we're together, we can escape from the hectic reality of our everyday lives
Let's get lost
Let's disappear into our own little world, just the two of us
