Country music is Langston's passion, but he has had many different influences that have molded his music style. Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and Tim Mcgraw to Guns-n-Roses, Staind, and Lynyrd Skynard have taken part into forming what Jon Langston’s music has become.
In 2012, Langston began writing his own original songs and worked on them at Century Studios in Atlanta, GA, and released his first three original songs in January 2013. His song “Forever Girl” played on Atlanta’s 94.9 The Bull’s Backyard Country for six weeks. Jon released four new songs off his “Runnin’ on Sunshine” EP that he co wrote with another artist and good friend, Jordan Rager, in August 2013. Off the new EP, “She’s so Georgia”, was aired within a week of release on Backyard Country.
He has played venues in Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina, and has had the opportunity to be the opening act for artists such as; Chase Rice and Corey Smith. Jon was nominated for the 2013 Georgia Country Awards, Male Artist of the Year and thanks to his fans, he is currently one of twelve vying for the award. Langston’s music is available on iTunes now!
Young & Reckless
Jon Langston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We wear cowboy boots and Wrangler jeans
Hunt and fish bout everything
Trucks are loud, beers are cold
Like to raise hell off an ole dirt road
West Virginia to Caroline, Hattiesburg to South Georgia's line
No matter where you go you'll always see
Good ole boys with a wild side
Rowdy friends making good times
All or none, don't settle for less
Come on y'all, we the young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
After work on a friday night
See what trouble we might find
Call up the boys we athens bound
Catch a little buzz at our spot downtown
And later that night we head to the farm
Get a little crazy in a big red barn
Screaming Hank with a rebel yell
Girls getting hot spinning their own spell on us
Good ole boys with a wild side
Rowdy friends making good times
All or none, don't settle for less
Come on y'all, we the young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
I love my momma, I say yes mam
Prime example of a southern gentlemen
I know how to act but I'm still a mess
Y'all already know I'm young and reckless
Good ole boys with a wild side
Rowdy friends making good times
All or none, don't settle for less
Come on y'all, we the young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
Young, young and reckless
The lyrics of Jon Langston's "Young & Reckless" tell the story of a group of guys who live life on their own terms. They wear cowboy boots and Wrangler jeans, go hunting and fishing, and drive trucks. They like to raise hell off an old dirt road, and they'll go to any lengths to have a good time. They're from all over, but they share a common bond - they're all good ole boys with a wild side.
The lines "All or none, don't settle for less" are a declaration of their attitude towards life. They're not content to settle for mediocrity, they want to experience everything life has to offer. The chorus repeats the phrase "Young and reckless," and it's clear that this is a badge of honor for them. They're proud to be young and free-spirited, and they're not ashamed to admit it.
The song is a tribute to the carefree spirit of youth, and it reminds us to enjoy life while we're young. It also speaks to the deep-seated desire we all have to break free from the constraints of everyday life and do something exciting and adventurous. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a group of friends who live life to the fullest, and it leaves us feeling inspired to go out and do the same.
