Rich graduated in Dickson County, Tennessee and after graduation moved to Nashville where he worked at Opryland USA singing. Not long after he met up with the group Texasee. After hundreds of shows the band changed it's name to Lonestar. While in Lonestar, Rich was the bassist and, on some occasions, the lead singer (one of the band's singles, "Heartbroke Every Day," featured his lead vocals). In January 1998 Lonestar annouced on their web site that Rich was leaving the band to pursue a solo career. To this day, it is widely speculated that Rich was fired for what is known as his undesirable cocky attitude. After this, Rich became a solo artist with BNA Records, but his albums were never released. In 2006, after forming Big & Rich, "Underneath the Same Moon" was finally released.

When Lonestar's "Come Cryin To Me" went to #1 in 1997, John became the youngest songwriter to have a #1 song. John Rich is also a notable songwriter, having written 900+ songs to date, many of which have been recored by Faith Hill, Jason Aldean, Gretchen Wilson, Cowboy Troy, Keith Anderson and many more.

Another You
John Rich Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My god what have I done
You gave me your heart
And I broke it up
Now here I am

All alone and I'm hatin' me
Cause baby with you I had everything
Now I'm a nothin' man

Not sure what I do from here
Or where I'll go
Baby the only thing I know is

[Chorus]
I'll never find another you
Someone who moves me like you do
Someone that knows me inside out
A love that'll never let me down
I could search all through this world
Try to find another like you girl
But no matter what I do
I'll never find another you

You put yourself in the palm of my hand
I was the envy of every man
And it was beautiful
What a perfect little life we found
We built it up and I tore it all down, like a fool
How will I ever forgive myself
And how do I live
Knowing I'll never feel that way again

And

[Chorus]

Maybe someday I'll find a sweet face
That takes me half the way to where we've been
Oh and who knows maybe I'll come close
But comin' close is all I'll ever get
All I'll ever get

[Chorus]





I'll never find another you
I'll never find another you

Line by Line Meaning

My god what have I done
I regret my actions and don't know how to make it right


You gave me your heart
You trusted me with your love and affection


And I broke it up
I betrayed that trust and destroyed what we had


Now here I am
Alone and full of regret


All alone and I'm hatin' me
I am alone with my guilt and can't help but loathe myself


Cause baby with you I had everything
I had everything I needed when we were together


Now I'm a nothin' man
Without you, I am nothing


Not sure what I do from here
I am lost and unsure of what to do next


Or where I'll go
I have no idea where my life will take me without you


Baby the only thing I know is
The only certainty I have is


I'll never find another you
No one else can replace you in my heart


Someone who moves me like you do
No one else can make me feel the same way you did


Someone that knows me inside out
No one else understands me as well as you did


A love that'll never let me down
No one else can love me as unconditionally as you did


I could search all through this world
I could try to find love elsewhere


Try to find another like you girl
Try to find someone who is like you in every way


But no matter what I do
No matter how hard I try


I'll never find another you
I won't find someone who is like you


You put yourself in the palm of my hand
You trusted me to take care of you


I was the envy of every man
I was the luckiest man in the world to have you


And it was beautiful
Our love and relationship was amazing


What a perfect little life we found
We had found the perfect life together


We built it up and I tore it all down, like a fool
I ruined everything we had and destroyed our happiness


How will I ever forgive myself
I don't know how I can ever make things right


And how do I live
I don't know how to move on from this or live without you


Knowing I'll never feel that way again
The pain of knowing I can never have what we had again is unbearable


Maybe someday I'll find a sweet face
Perhaps in the future I will find someone else


That takes me half the way to where we've been
Someone who can make me half as happy as you did


Oh and who knows maybe I'll come close
Maybe I will find someone who can get close to replacing you


But comin' close is all I'll ever get
But no one can fully replace you in my heart


I'll never find another you
I will never find someone like you in my life


I'll never find another you
No one can ever replace you

John Rich is the man!! He is one awesome country musician. I am happy to say that I was a fan of John Rich before he appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice.

Mike D

He's awesome!

Terri Stevens

I admit it, I am a die hard rocker from way back (grew up in NYC where there isn't much country after all) and the Celebrity Apprentice has opened my eyes a bit to this man's incredible talent. His hat may always remain on but mine is off to this guy. Well done John! Now everyone go and give a listen to "Standin' in the Storm" the new single by John Rich, Meat Load, Lil Jon and Mark McGrath where the proceeds go to their individual charities.

G Clem

I was fortunate enough to be able to see Big & Rich at Ft. Jackson a few weeks back. They really put on a GREAT show! I so love what they do for our military! I saw Mr. Rich on The Apprentice and was pulling for him to win from the start. I have heard various interviews with him over the years mainly regarding his political views of which I am in complete agreement with but I'm only now discovering his solo music. I'm so liking it!!! Count me in as another big John Rich fan!!!
