Rascal Flatts es uno de esos nombres que resuenan con fuerza en la historia de la música country. Desde sus humildes comienzos hasta convertirse en superestrellas internacionales, su viaje ha sido inspirador. El grupo, conocido por sus voces armoniosas y su capacidad para evocar emociones profundas, ha dejado una huella indeleble en el panorama musical.
La historia de Rascal Flatts se remonta a finales de la década de 1990, en Columbus, Ohio. El grupo está compuesto por Gary LeVox (vocalista principal), Jay DeMarcus (bajista y vocalista) y Joe Don Rooney (guitarrista y vocalista). Jay y Gary son primos y habían estado tocando juntos en clubes locales cuando decidieron que era momento de formar una banda. Joe Don se unió a ellos poco tiempo después, y juntos encontraron una química musical incomparable.
En 1999, la banda firmó un contrato con Lyric Street Records, y al año siguiente lanzaron su álbum debut homónimo, Rascal Flatts. El álbum incluyó éxitos como "Prayin' for Daylight" y "I'm Movin' On", que rápidamente se colocaron en los primeros lugares de las listas country. La mezcla de melodías pegajosas y letras emotivas capturó la atención de millones de oyentes.
El lanzamiento de su segundo álbum, Melt, en 2002, consolidó su lugar en la industria. La canción "These Days" se convirtió en su primer sencillo número uno en las listas de Billboard de música country. Tras este éxito, el grupo lanzó en 2004 Feels Like

[Verse 1]
I was sittin' on a wooden stool
In a barbecue joint in Tennessee
When this old boy walked in
And he sat right down next to me
I could tell he'd been through some hard times
'Cause there were tear stains on his old shirt
Then he said, "Do you wanna know what you get
When you play a country song backwards?"
[Chorus]
You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend Jackson back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
You get your first and second jobs back
Your front porch swing goin' ding-a-ling-a-ling
Your bling, bling, bling, and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
That old black cat named Charlie
It sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
[Verse 2]
Well, I never heard it said quite like that
It hit me in the face 'cause that's where I'm at
I almost fell flat out on the floor
He said, "Wait a minute, that's not all, there's even more" (Haha)
[Chorus]
You get your mind back
Get your nerves back
Your achy breaky heart back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back
Your big screen TV, DVD and a washin' machine
You get the pond and the lawn and the rake and the mower
You go back when life was slower
It sounds a little crazy (A little crazy), a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
Oh, play that song
Woo
[Bridge]
We sat there and talked about how it would be
If we could just rewind it all and go back in T-I-M-E
[Chorus]
You get your house back
You get your dog back
You get your best friend Jackson back
You get your truck back
You get your hair back
You get your first and second jobs back
Your front porch swing goin' ding-a-ling-a-ling
Your bling, bling, bling, and a diamond ring
You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley
That old black cat named Charlie
You get your mind back
Get your nerves back
Your achy breaky heart back
You get your pride back
You get your life back
You get your first real love back
Your big screen TV, DVD and a washin' machine
You get the pond and the lawn and the rake and the mower
You go back when life was slower
It sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd
But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards
