McDonald left the band in November 2007 for a solo career before returning in 2011. During that time, Cody Collins, who had formerly been in another country group called McAlyster, replaced McDonald as the band's lead vocalist. John Rich was also the group's bass guitarist and second lead vocalist until 1998, when he was fired from the group. He left for a solo career, before joining Big Kenny in the duo Big & Rich in 2003. Since Rich's departure, Lonestar has not had an official bass guitarist.

Another popular Lonestar song was "Mr. Mom". This song is on of the most played songs on radio stations to date.

Other No. 1 hits include "Come Cryin' to Me" (summer 1997); "Smile" and "What About Now" (both 2000); "Tell Her" and "I'm Already There" (2001); "My Front Porch Lookin' In" (2003).

Their current single is "I'll Die Tryin'", which is a cover of another Emerson Drive song released three years earlier.

With Me
Lonestar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel just like a fly in a soup bowl
Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the heap
Sometimes I feel like I'm the king of the castle
Sometimes I feel like just a bump on the street

I got my highs and lows
Some days it's touch and go
But baby, this I know

[Chorus]
When you're with me
I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet
On the end of my chain
Oh, when you kiss me
My head starts spinnin'
It's like you're sending the adrenaline
Straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain
All my worries wash away
When you're with me

You are a lazy summer day on a porch swing
You are a night runnin' wild on the town
My red Ferrari racin' me down a back street
My pick-me-up when I'm a little bit down

No matter where I go
Whatever dice I roll
Baby, this I know

When you're with me
I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet
On the end of my chain
Oh, when you kiss me
My head starts spinnin'
It's like you're sending the adrenaline
Straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain
All my worries wash away
When you're with me

When you're with me

I got my highs and lows
No matter where I go
Oh baby, this I know

When you're with me
I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet
On the end of my chain
Oh, when you kiss me
My head starts spinnin'
It's like you're sending the adrenaline
Straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain
All my worries wash away
All when you're with me

Oh yeah,
When you're with me

When you're with me
I feel like singing
My head starts spinnin'
It feels right as rain

When you're with me
