Lynne's first recording for Epic was a duet with George Jones, "If I Could Bottle This Up", which became a top-50 hit in 1988. In 2000 she won a Grammy award for "Best New Artist", despite the fact that she had been recording and releasing records for more than ten years
With Tears, Lies, and Alibis the follow-up to 2008's Just A Little Lovin' and the first release on her own label, Everso Records, Shelby Lynne affirms her position as a visionary, iconoclastic artist who deftly weaves country, soul, rock, blues, pop and folk influences to forge her own unique style. Like Identity Crisis (2003) and Suit Yourself (2005), this sparse, unguarded collection was produced by Lynne, who evokes a live-in-the-studio vibe from a stellar group of musicians. Born in Quantico, VA, she grew up in Jackson, AL and headed to Nashville at an early age. At 18, Lynne s demos landed her an appearance on TNN s Nashville Now series, which led to a Top 50 duet ( "If I Could Bottle This Up" ) with George Jones and a record deal. Following the release of the critically acclaimed I Am Shelby Lynne in 2000, she won the GRAMMY® for Best New Artist. She made her acting debut in 2005, playing Johnny Cash's mother in the Fox Searchlight motion picture Walk the Line.
Gotta Get Back
Shelby Lynne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flying above the clouds
In a big ol' plane
I can't wait to hold you and see you again
Tell you where I've been
I can almost kiss you now
When I close my eyes I feel your
It's so hard to fight what I
Feel inside, for you
Gotta get back do I do
Gotta get back do I do I do
Gotta get back do I do
Butterflies take control me
Why's this airplane go so slowly
Flutter faster take me home to you
I can almost see you now
Is my imagination foolin' me somehow
Flying through the lining of a silver cloud
I'm gettin' closer now
I can almost hear you now
Ooh saying you love me
Like you know how
I wish this plane would just reach down and
Touch the ground
I swear I see you now
The song "Gotta Get Back" by Shelby Lynne is a love ballad that expresses the pain of separation and the eagerness to reunite with a loved one. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery of flying above the clouds, feeling the soft touch of the person's lips, and the yearning to be reunited with them. The singer is on an airplane on her way back to her loved one and is overwhelmed with emotions as she imagines being with them again.
The opening lines "I can almost touch you now, flying above the clouds in a big ol' plane" sets the tone of the song. The singer is on a journey to be with her love again, and the distance between them is torturous. She longs to hold them and tell them where she has been. She imagines kissing them and feeling their lips on hers. However, the wait is unbearable, and the butterflies in her stomach take control.
