"Out From Under You" holds a special place in Country Fox Music history—it was the very first CFM song.
The title for the song began more than twenty years ago when a friend casually remarked, “I think there should be a country song named, 'I Can’t Get Over Her Till She Gets Out From Under You.’ It was one of those lines too good to forget, and years later it finally found its way into a song.
With a healthy dose of humor and a wink at some of the familiar themes that have long been part of country music, "Out From Under You" became a playful parody of heartache, love triangles, and all the trouble that seems to follow them.
Sometimes a song begins with a deeply meaningful story. And sometimes it begins with a friend saying something twenty years ago that just might make a great country song.
LYRICS
I told my heart I’d moved on,
Took that old Chevy and just kept gone,
Dog ridin’ shotgun, wind in his ears,
Thought I’d outrun all those years.
Radio playin’ some broken tune,
’Bout love that fades a little too soon,
But every mile just pulls me back,
Knowin’ she’s in your arms and that’s a fact.
Yeah I can’t get over her,
No matter what I do,
I can drink this whiskey dry,
Run these roads clean through,
But every night it hits me,
Like I ain’t got a clue,
I can’t get over her,
Till she gets out from underneath you.
Pulled off where the river bends,
Where we used to talk ‘bout forever and then,
That tailgate dent still shines in chrome,
From the night we called it home.
Dog jumps down, I skip a rock,
But time don’t move on this old dock,
Every ripple says her name,
And nothin’ here’s the same.
Maybe someday you’ll let her go,
Maybe she’ll come back down this road,
But until that day comes into view,
I’m stuck right here missin’ you.
Yeah I can’t get over her,
No matter what I do,
It don’t matter where I run,
Or who I’m runnin’ to,
This old heart ain’t quittin’,
No matter what I choose,
I can’t get over her,
Till she gets out from underneath you.
