Rhett Akins - Don't Get Me Started Lyrics






Well it was January, not the fourth of July
A snow white morning, and a clear blue sky
We were miles from nowhere,
But somehow another love found us
We were laughing and looking in each others hearts
Talkin' and touchin' (and) trying so hard
Not to notice what was going on all around us

There were fireworks flashing
Thunder clapping
Big waves crashing on the shore
There were church bells ringing, angels singing
All gathered around heavens door
Then we kissed and I saw the light
I could go on about this all night
Hey darlin' if you don't want to hear how the waters parted
Don't get me started

Naw don't get me started I'm warning you
Unless you've got an extra week or two
You know darn well how I get when you get me goin'
Naw don't get me taking 'bout us
About the day we fell in love
Unless your longing for a dose of strong emotion

Rhett Akins Don't Get Me Started Comments
  1. C.... B....

    Great song one of favorite

  2. C.... ....

    I was shocked when this played on my car radio tonight and I saw his name. I'm sure he wrote it, but I was thinking he wrote it for someone else. I wasn't thinking he's the one that sang it on the radio all those years ago. And of course I knew right away that he is Thomas Rhett's dad. It sure looks like Thomas inherited his dads music genius, huh?

  3. J.... E....

    One of my absolute favorites!

  4. B.... U....

    Having a 90s evening. Anyone else?

  5. D.... F....

    Love this song

  6. K.... P....

    Why can't country music sound like this anymore? Today's country just sucks!!

  7. B.... A....

    From Thailand, I really like country music.

  8. c.... ....

    Listen at how clear the production is. How his voice is on top because it's good. How simple the background music is on the verses. How it ramps up in the chorus but never over powers him. And then it's well written and the hook is good. Now it's all songs about dads and grandpas dying, snap back hats and t-shirts.

  9. g.... ....

    this guy was really really good. very underrated. saw him open for Reba waaaaaaay back in the day

  10. T.... M....

    Bring this music back!

  11. S.... T....

    Country just isn’t the same as it used to be, we need to bring stuff like this back.

    S.... T....

    I definitely agree with that

  12. R.... M....

    Since Thomas Rhett made it as a country singer, I’ve felt he should release an album of him singing all his dads hits.

  13. M.... F....

    Nothing like old school. Like this one. Thanks for the memories and music

  14. H.... w....

  50. E.... T....

    Thats why im single lol

  51. b.... p....

    I keep reading posts wishing 90s country would come back...lol. Funny thing is in the 90s ...during the "new country" era between roughly 90-96... Folks were saying how this country isnt country and they wanted real country back. Dont get me wrong i grew up listening to 70s and 80s country and i spent my mid teens to early 20s kistening to 90s country so i love it. Its just funny hearing folks now call 90s country real country when it was at one time considered not real country.

  52. J.... N....

    I grew up listening to his music still a Huge fan!!!

  53. R.... S....

    K.... R....

    countrygirl country musiclover calling people vile names is, indeed, verbal abuse. Telling someone they are uneducated is a personal attack. Those are both grossly inappropriate. Do not question my intelligence when you can not use proper spelling, punctuation, and can not type without taking your finger off the cap lock key. Swearing and personally attacking strangers is the hallmark of unintelligence.

    K.... R....

    Laura Wilfong EXCUSE ME???? BITCH I WAS 16 WHEN I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AS VALEDICTORIAN AND THERE WERE OVER 300 PEOPLE GRADUATING THE SAME TIME AS ME. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO USE PROPER EVERYTHING SO.I HAVE A RIGHT TO CORRECT/QUESTION OTHERS INTELLIGENCE. SECOND OF ALL FOR THE SECOND TIME NOTHING I DO ON OR OFF THE INTERNET IS EVEN CLOSE TO "GROSSLY INAPPROPRIATE" NOR EVEN CLOSE TO VERBAL.ABUSE. IF YOU LEARN THE DEFINITION OF THOSE TWO TERMS YOU WOULD KNOW THAT. I KNOW THE DEFINITIONS OF BOTH WHICH IS HOW I KNOW I AM AS FAR FROM BOTH AS YOU CAN GET. AND LAST OF ALL NOTHING I DO IS EVEN CLOSE TO THE "HALLMARK' AS YOU PUT IT OF UNINTELLIGENT. I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AT 16 AS VALEDICTORIAN AND MY GRADE POINT AVERAGE WAS A 5.0. AND I HAD MY FIRST KID AT 19 AFTER GETTING MARRIED AT JUST 18 YEARS. SO HELPING MY STILL CUREENT (AND ONLY) HUSBAND RAISE NOW THREE KIDS (PREGNANT WITH MY FOURTH. ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE ONLY 24 YEARS OLD SO THERE MAY BE A FIFTH CHILD) AND GETTING TWO BACHELORS AND TWO MASTERS AND STILL WORKING A FULL TIME JOB AS A THERAPIST IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO UNINTELLIGENT. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE I HAVE MORE OF AN EDUCATION THAN YOU COULD EVER HAVE IN A WEEK. AND I JUST ENROLLED IN SCHOOL TO GET MY DOCTORATE. NOW DO YOU WANNA CALL ME STUPID/UNINTELLIGENT???? GROW UP. MY THREE YEAR OLD FIVE YEAR OLD AND ELEVEN MONTH OLD KIDS ARE MORE MATURE THAN YOUR SAD PATHETIC SELF. HELL MY ELEVEN MONTH OLD CHOCOLATE LAB IS MORE MATURE THAN YOU AND SHE'S A DOG FOR FUCK SAKE.

    K.... R....

    countrygirl country musiclover 😂😂a 5.0 GPA isn't possible. Oh my gosh, I would guess you are about 12 years old based on how you write. This is such a joke. You're a troll and not even a good one. Again, if you were working on your doctorate you would use correct punctuation. Your replies are so trailer park 😂😂My guess is you are in middle school and I hope you don't have children 😂😂😂Give your "husband" my regards. If he existed, he would tell you that you are without character and substance but then again, most middle schoolers are 😂😂😂

    K.... R....

    countrygirl country musiclover oh and please don't reproduce. We don't need more classless, unintelligent, ignorant people in this world 😂 #micdrop

    K.... R....

    countrygirl country musiclover I know 7th graders only go to the library once a week, so I looked up the definition of 'verbal abuse' for you. Maybe you can use it on your next vocabulary worksheet 😂
    Verbal abuse (verbal attack or verbal assault) is when a person forcefully criticizes, insults, or denounces someone else.[1] Characterized by underlying anger and hostility, it is a destructive form of communication intended to harm the self-concept of the other person and produce negative emotions.[2] Verbal abuse is a maladaptive defense mechanism that anyone can display occasionally, such as during times of high stress or physical discomfort. For some people, it is a pattern of behaviors used intentionally to control or manipulate others or to get revenge.[3]

  81. S.... D....

    New country nowadays is not country music at all! Bubblegum country.......

  82. K.... D....

    he writes most of the hits for todays singers

    K.... D....

    Tell me you love me BABY

  83. D.... H....

    Why didn't this guy get the recognition he deserved.. He had more hits than people that are bigger ( name recognition) than he is.. that doesn't seem right... plus, he wrote a slew of hits for other people..... in the 90's he should have fired his marketing and PR firm.. such a talent..

    D.... H....

    I love his sons music Thomas Rhett

    D.... H....

    I like Rhett Akins and Thomas Rhett.I wish they would sing a song together.

    C.... B....

    @Cassie Bloemendaal yeah, he did

    C.... B....

    Cassie Bloemendaal who is his son dumb me ?

    C.... B....

    @Wanda Hunter His son is Thomas Rhett.

  85. T.... T....

    Rhett writes most of the stuff today...before we go into this I hate today's country talk...and his son Thomas Rhett is a growing name in country today

  86. b.... t....

    dedicated to Mother Theresa

  87. L.... K....

    Bring back '90s contry NOW!

    K.... M....

    +Katrina Mowery dear god what are you using as spellcheck?

  91. B.... W....

    You have to " say something " first, then I say something back !

    B.... W....

    Something like that, been listening since you came out,just wanted a comment !

    B.... W....

    Buddy well well well

  92. D.... ....

    Mad respect for those that can write their own songs

  93. T.... ....

    Is it just me or was the 90's the best era for country songs, its 2014 and although I love songs nowadays but I love older songs more. Maybe because I grew up on it.

    T.... ....

    Maria Banuelos MORE meaningful in that time era???? Honey today's country is EQUALLY as meaningful today as it was back in the days of this song. So take that shit off your comment about that's what people look for in country music

    T.... ....

    TBAKC I totally agree!!!

    T.... ....

    countrygirl country musiclover holy shit dude calm down 😂. Damn don't get so worked up over it. But it just being more meaningful is opinion and I'm pretty sure others too. Don't gotta be a bitch about it 😂

    T.... ....

    2019 still feeling that

    T.... ....

    Singing and listening to this great music in 2019..
