Easton Corbin, 'Roll With It' -- Story Behind the Lyrics

Filed under: Exclusive, Story Behind the Song


Songwriter David Lee sits down with The Boot to to talk about the rising hit, 'Roll With It,' the second single from Easton Corbin's debut album.

I wrote this song with Tony Lane and Johnny Park about ten years ago. Johnny needed songs for his record that were commercially viable, so we were actually going to write for his record. At the time he had a record deal with Sony. I went in with the title. And being a Texas boy, I'm always looking for things George Strait would say. 'Roll With It' sounded like something George would say. This just popped in my head one day, driving around. I figured if Johnny didn't cut it, I wanted to try and make it something George Strait would hear -- a middle of the road country song with a good message and good feel.
