Lyrics Stand (Commentary) - Rascal Flatts

Rascal Flatts new Greatest Hits album has 20 songs on it
It's available now, and not only is it some of their number one hits
But also some of the fan favorites, they just couldn't leave off this project
And one of the things I asked Jay DeMarcus is
As they celebrate 20 years as a band, what has Rascal Flatts meant to him
And what has it meant to him to be a part of this band for the last 20 years?

I said to somebody the other day
It's the thing that I've done and has meant the most to me in most of my adult life
Aside from my marriage and the birth of my children
It's the most important thing that I've been a part of the entire time
Practically, than I've been an adult
And the impact it's had on my family

We've been very, very blessed because of what we've been able to do
The fact that I've been able to do something that I love so much
Wake up every day to do for a living
Has been one of the greatest things you could ever hope for
I also realize how fortunate we are because it doesn't happen to everybody

Everybody that has the dream of making it in music
Doesn't necessarily get to live it out to the degree that we have had
And I'm just grateful for it every day
I try to always take a few moments, and thank God for the platform, the career that he has given us
And that I've been able to do it with people that mean so much to me

Gary and Joe Don, we could be sitting here 20 years later hating each other
And although we've had our times where we've fallen out
And we've disagreed and things of that nature
It's remained a family, and we've remained a tight-knit unit
And a lot of bands can't say that at the end of 20 years
But I've been really grateful, as I look at it
That it's been as great as it has been the last 20 years

I remember one time talking to Rascal Flatts
And they had a therapist that was traveling with them on the road
Kinda like a marriage counselor, because, I mean, think about it
When you're together for 20 years, that is longer than most marriages
And they spend a lot of time together
But they managed to stick together

And now we're celebrating 20 years of Rascal Flatts, The Greatest Hits
And here's another song off the album
It's Stand
