History: Rascal Flatts were founded near Columbus, Ohio. Gary LeVox and Jay DeMarcus were second cousins from a musical family. DeMarcus's brother-in-law, James Otto, is also a country music artist. DeMarcus moved to Nashville in 1992, earning his first record deal as part of a Christian group called East to West. In 1997, he finally convinced LeVox to leave behind his job with the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and follow his musical dreams as well.
DeMarcus soon joined Chely Wright's band, and there he met Joe Don Rooney. DeMarcus and LeVox were working in a Printer's Alley nightclub, and when their part-time guitarist could not make it one night, DeMarcus invited Rooney to sit in. Eventually, they took the name Rascal Flatts and began performing together, getting signed to Lyric Street Records in late 1999.
The band was recently announced that they have celebrated 10 years of being one of the hottest country bands of the decade. On January 7, 2020, Rascal Flatts announced that they would be disbanding following a farewell tour after twenty years together. However, this farewell tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the group's disbandment was officially confirmed in October 2021.
I Like the Sound of That
Rascal Flatts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love hearing that shower turn on
Bet there's nothin' but a towel on-on you
You sing along with some Timberlake bumpin'
But he ain't got nothin' on you
I don't wanna hear the coffee pouring
A goodbye kiss, then lockin' the door yeah
Sounds like leavin' you, oh
It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowin' up my phone
Wanna hear you say come on over
'Cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Love the sound of the thunder rollin'
It makes you move a little closer to me
And girl I bet that your neighbors hate us
'Cause we could laugh all night and never sleep
We can worry 'bout the world in the mornin'
Light up a candle and lock the door
Wanna stay right here with you, yes I do
It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowin' up my phone
Wanna hear you say come on over
'Cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Turn your radio on, baby turn down the lights
I ain't goin' nowhere, I'm all yours tonight
It's a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It's way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over
I just wanna hear that ringtone
I like it turned up when you're blowin' up my phone
Wanna hear you say come on over
'Cause when you tell me to come on over
I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound and I love the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Oh, oh, oh
I like the sound, I like the sound of that
Yes I do
I like the sound of that
Oh
