Strip It Down
Luke Bryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me run my fingers down your back
Let's whisper, let's don't talk
Baby, leave my t-shirt in the hall
Like a needle finds a groove
Baby, we'll remember what to do
To drown out every distraction
It's time we made it happen
Strip it down, strip it down
Back to you and me like it used to be
When it was an old back road with an old school beat
Cowboy boots by your little bare feet
Let it out, tell me right now
Everything I need in them white cotton sheets
Dirty dance me slow in the summertime heat
Feel my belt turn loose from these old blue jeans
We both know that we lost it somehow
Let's get it found
Strip it down, down, down
I wanna drop this cell phone now
And let it shatter on the ground
They ain't holdin' nothin' these two hands
Until they're holding you again
Oh, strip it down, strip it down
Back to you and me like it used to be
When it was an old back road with an old school beat
Cowboy boots by your little bare feet
Let it out, tell me right now
Everything I need in them white cotton sheets
Dirty dance me slow in the summertime heat
Feel my belt turn loose from these old blue jeans
We both know that we lost it somehow
Let's get it found
Strip it down, down, down
Strip it down, down, down
I don't wanna let you go
No, not tonight
I just wanna love you so bad, baby
So let's close our eyes
And strip it down, strip it down
Back to you and me like it used to be
When it was an old back road with an old school beat
Cowboy boots by your little bare feet
Let it out, tell me right now
Everything I need in them white cotton sheets
Dirty dance me slow in the summertime heat
Feel my belt turn loose from these old blue jeans
We both know that we lost it somehow
Let's get it found
Strip it down, down, down
Strip it down, down, down
Strip it down, down, down
Strip it down, down, down
"Strip It Down" by Luke Bryan is a romantic song about taking the time to reconnect with a loved one and stripping away the distractions of the outside world to focus on each other. The chorus urges the listener to strip down to the bare essentials and bring the relationship back to a simpler time, evoking images of an old back road with a classic country beat and cowboy boots by bare feet. The singer describes feeling the need to get back in touch with what's truly important and longing to hold their lover again. Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency to strip away the concerns of everyday life and just be present in the moment with the person they love.
The lyrics use a variety of metaphors and imagery to create a vivid picture of the relationship. The phrase "like a needle finds a groove" is used to describe how the couple will remember what to do without distraction, while the mention of "white cotton sheets" and "dirty dancing in the summertime heat" reinforce the sultry nature of the song. The mention of a cell phone dropping and shattering in the first verse is a powerful image that suggests the singer wants to be fully present with their lover, rather than distracted by technology.
Overall, the song is a plea for an intimate connection, and for the distractions of the modern world to be stripped away in order to focus on what truly matters - each other.
Line by Line Meaning
Let it fade to black
Let's forget about everything that's been going on and focus on each other
Let me run my fingers down your back
I want to touch you intimately and feel your body
Let's whisper, let's don't talk
We don't need to have a deep, meaningful conversation right now. Let's just enjoy each other's company
Baby, leave my t-shirt in the hall
We're going to be fully naked, so it's okay to leave our clothes behind
Like a needle finds a groove
We know each other's bodies so well that everything will flow naturally
Baby, we'll remember what to do
We may have been apart for a while, but our bodies still know how to please each other
To drown out every distraction
We don't need anything else in this moment, we just need each other
It's time we made it happen
We've been waiting long enough to be together again, let's not waste any more time
I wanna drop this cell phone now
I'm not interested in anything else happening in the world outside of us right now
And let it shatter on the ground
I don't care about anything else except being with you in this moment
They ain't holdin' nothin' these two hands
The only thing that matters to me right now is holding you
Until they're holding you again
I need to feel your body in my arms again
I don't wanna let you go
I'm not ready for this moment to end
No, not tonight
I want to spend the entire night with you
I just wanna love you so bad, baby
My desire to be with you is overwhelming
So let's close our eyes
Let's focus on the feeling of being together, not what we see or hear
Back to you and me like it used to be
Let's go back to the time when we were together and everything was perfect
When it was an old back road with an old school beat
When life was simple and we had nothing to worry about
Cowboy boots by your little bare feet
I want to see you in your purest form
Let it out, tell me right now
Anything you need to say, let it out. Don't hold anything back
Everything I need in them white cotton sheets
Being together is enough for me, we don't need anything else
Dirty dance me slow in the summertime heat
Let's get lost in the moment and be intimate with each other
Feel my belt turn loose from these old blue jeans
I'm ready to let go and be completely present with you
We both know that we lost it somehow
We've been apart for a while, but we know we can find what we lost
Let's get it found
Let's rediscover what we had and make it work
Strip it down, down, down
Let's strip away everything else and focus on each other

I heard this song shortly after my husband passed away almost 5 years ago, I cried. This song reminded me of our last time together, it also carried me back many years ago. He always wore cowboy boots and I was always barefoot. The song still makes me cry. I miss my husband. Crying as I post this. If you are married, treat each other right and get rid of any garbage in your relationship, life is too important together.
