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.
To Make Her Love Me
Rascal Flatts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said, "Let it be" and there it was
A mountain so high, it broke through the sky
A canyon so deep, it'd bring a man to his knees
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You made the heavens and the stars
To make her love me?
I said some things I shouldn't have
Tried everything to win her back
I'm human, I messed up
Is she gone? Are we done?
Forgiveness, another chance
That's all I want
It's in your hands
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You made the heavens and the stars
Everything; come on, how hard could it be
To make her love me?
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You made the heavens and the stars
Everything; come on, how hard could it be
To make her love me?
To make her love me, yeah, yeah
To make her love me, ooo, ooo, ooo
