Formed in 1999, the band has four members: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet. There is no lead singer in the band; instead, they trade lead vocal duties as well as rely on the harmonies of the four members.
Little Big Town's self-titled 2002 debut for Sony's Monument Records was panned critically and did not sell commercially. The album had only one minor hit single, "Don't Waste My Time," and it wasn't long before Little Big Town was dropped from the label.
Little Big Town resurfaced on the Equity Music Group label (formed by country singer Clint Black), and on October 4, 2005, released their second album, The Road to Here. The new album was well-received critically, and spawned the smash hit single "Boondocks." Three further singles were released from the album, including the Top 5 hit "Bring It on Home."
Their second album with the Equity label, A Place to Land, was released in 2007. Although, not long after its release, the label folded. Little Big Town then re-released the album a year later via Capitol Nashville. Two of the album's singles were minor Top 40 hits.
In 2010, the group returned with "Little White Church," the lead-off to their fourth studio album, The Reason Why, which was released on August 24, 2010.
Sober
Little Big Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And live my life a little on the rocks
Laughing every time I fail
Not afraid to make a fool of myself
And keep on dancing when the music stops
'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober
You're like drinking from a never ending bottle
When I think it's gone it's always a little more left
Lay back with you and close my eyes
Let the big ol' world just spin on by
And saying your name with my last breath
'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the holy lean on your shoulders
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober
I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the holy lean on your shoulders
Sweet like wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the holy lean on your shoulders
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober
The song "Sober" by Little Big Town is a declaration of the joys of being in love, and the desire to live life to the fullest. The lyrics express a desire to live with abandon, to walk a little crooked, and to take risks without fear of failure or judgment. The song talks about the joy of being drunk on love, of leaning on someone's shoulder and feeling safe and happy. The feeling of being in love is compared to the best kind of drug, a feeling that is sweet like wine as it gets older.
The chorus of the song is repeated several times, each time with more intensity and conviction. The lyrics "When I die I don't wanna go sober" are a powerful statement of the importance of living life to the fullest, of embracing the joy of being in love, and of never wanting to lose that feeling.
The song is a celebration of love, but also a recognition of the fragility of life, and the importance of not wasting a single moment. It is a reminder to savor the good times, to cherish the people we love, and to never let fear or doubt hold us back.

My love for my partner never runs out
Lay back with you and close my eyes
Being with my partner helps me relax and find peace
Let the big ol' world just spin on by
With my partner by my side, I can ignore the chaos of the world
And saying your name with my last breath
I want my partner to know how much they mean to me until the very end

I wanna walk that line a little crooked
And live my life a little on the rocks
Laugh at every time I fell
Not afraid to make a fool of myself
And keep on dancing when the music stops
'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin' on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
Oh, when I die, I don't wanna go sober
You're like drinking from a never-ending bottle
When I think it's gone there's always a little more left
Lay back with you and close my eyes
Let the big ol' world just spin on by
And sayin' your name with my last breath
'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin' on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
Oh, when I die I don't wanna go sober
I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin' on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober

I totally agree. I hope that she gets more lead vocal opportunities. She is so amazing. They all are =)
@GarrickMerriweather
Have you ever seen them live. She highlights a lot of their songs live. But I agree. One of the things I like about LBT is that each one of them can REALLY sing.
@michaelshackelford7048
Yes i have seen them about 3 times. Love them.
