Official lyrics video for O.A.R.'s "Lay Down" --
In the morning wake me up and tell me everything
So I can understand your world
And you can understand my dream
I could be anywhere
You could be there with me
But I just want to be a ghost
And see everything
I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put em up
Let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this ground
Stand up on your feet
Put your worry down
And every one of you all around
Come on y'all let's take this town
Let's take this town
It's better that we keep this close
Keep you close to me
Walking under every sky
Over every sea
Yeah you could be my modern girl
And I could be the one you found
If we're taking on the world today
I know we gotta leave this town
I don't want it to be the way they want it
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put em up
Let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this ground
Stand up on your feet
Put your worry down
And every one of you all around
Come on y'all let's take this town
Let's take this town
Come on y'all let's take this town
Come on y'all let's take it down
On our own let's get away
Nothing more left here to see
Come on, love, make it perfect
The more and more i will believe
Like a child i must believe
Come on y'all make it perfect
This town, this night, this crowd
Come on put em up
Let me hear it loud
This town, this city, this ground
Stand up on your feet
Put your worry down
And every one of you all around
Come on y'all let's take it
Every one of you in this crowd
Come on y'all let's take this town

Columbus, oxycontin/ Fentanyl capital of the world 💉💊🕺🏿

[@Tiger69420]

Got to see you guys earlier this Year in Indy with Dispatch and G love. Loved it. Would see you guys again in a heartbeat if the opportunity comes to fruition again

[@wnek45]

2023 almost 2024. ❤

[@marcrapaccuiolo2406]

These guys dont get the recognition they deserve

[@Monaayy29]

You know it’s the College World Series if this song is playing.

[@TheHENpp]

Facts! Just heard it on the intro and all the feels flooded back!

[@nevermindme8922]

That’s what brought me here lol

[@DylanNichols1989]

fucking iconic... let the memories flood in.

[@farmasyst]

Before anyone rips these guys, I suggest they spend at least 45 minutes at one of their concerts. One of the most positive musical influences touring today. OAR has followed the business pattern of Jimmy Buffet in regards to how they market themselves. In order to do this, you have to be a great bunch of musicians and they definitely meet that requirement.

[@KeoTheCupcake]

Welcome to Omaha!!!!

[@evanspencer6809]

I will never forget the 08’ College World Series bc of this song being the theme song. This should forever be the song.

[@oneoftheshadows5824]

These guys are highly underrated.. A gem of a band

[@jtanca1]

This song brings memories of the College World Series, it should be it's official song.

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

Yes, perfect song for almost anything

[@thricegreat9010]

I might be the only person from the hood that listens and loves this song. It used to come on on the late night/early mornings when VH1 played videos and I had to take my daughter to school... Great memories 😢

[@italianxpeaches]

I remember getting up early when I was a kid/young teen JUST to watch VH1's music videos and that's how I discovered this song and Shattered. Good times. Also brings back so much freaking nostalgia from my life then.

[@jbthebeast98]

Same here so early morning before go to school everyday

[@H_NNY]

No you are not lol it’s like we all have the same memory of how we discovered it lol

[@Arian-hernandez-J06]

2024 I’ll be 59 and I still listening to O- A -R love it ❤

[@troywitkowski3732]

I remember back in the day, I was just a roommate with these guys. Now, look what they've accomplished. Amazing!

[@craigburnett7621]

Damn really?! That’s awesome

[@em0shorty]

oar is so underrated

[@josephnarkin5357]

One of the best bands around, period. If you have not seen them live, you are missing out. As good as they are recorded, the shows will knock your socks off.

[@call_me_rhee6866]

My mom and dad have raised me on OAR for the longest time i have been to about 6 OAR concerts and my mom has been to about 14. Its our favorite band. Like you said they are amazing live! during one concert at red rocks that i went to Richie Sambora came onstage! i only remember about 4 of the concerts i have been to because im 14 and was super young when my parents brought me to concerts but still they are amazing!

[@aaronwolfinbarger2757]

You are correct sir. I've seen them live at least 15 times. Epic live performances man they have come along way from the 100 people shows at Orlando house of blues.

[@TrevorHamberger]

i don't know them or like them but i'm gonna see them soon.

[@justinmajors2872]

CWS should bring this song back

[@kittttygirl5]

If you still jam to this..... lets be best friends

[@Yenseneo]

kittttygirl5 haha i love all music

[@call_me_rhee6866]

dude yess 😂😂😛

[@V2K2702]

kittttygirl5 I just discovered them so do I still count?

[@jakejake5892]

I remember watching this on Vh1 every Saturday morning while the song was on...I have been jamming to this since its release date... brings back so much memories. 2018 and still loving it!

[@Zokyden]

Ok

[@aprilnorton979]

I've never met anyone who knew of this song, but every time I play it for people they say they love it... So why didn't this get more famous?!

[@TheNickyVera]

because they never sold out and gave up their rights to the record labels. they were more independent and had more control so they got a lot less exposure.

[@damonhill7159]

Still listening in 2022.

[@xEnvyBGB]

under rated song

[@thejuggler3504]

Very. The band as a whole is.

[@thricegreat9010]

Soo underrated

[@moe761]

The song that got me into OAR. Best band ever!

[@Karens0408]

Me too! This Town was the song and now I'm a HUGE fan!!!

[@eydiecummins6679]

Wow, best song ever

[@Cmcoluch]

Same, my older brother is the one who really got me into them

[@jenniferleajackson]

Will forever bring back memories of TFAS summer 2009. Great song.

[@Sleepy_Cattt]

I first heard of OAR in Iraq. Thank goodness my buddy turned me on to these guys. I still like them after 2007, 2008, and 2009.

[@user-nh7bj4yz5w]

very very very very underrated song

[@Tbolt1000TForLife]

This was my jam when I was in high school. KS95 in the Twin Cities played this A LOT back in the Spring/Summer of '09 and heard it frequently in my old Acclaim(my first car). Hearing this takes me back to the summer of '09 cruising the streets of my hometown Red Wing, MN in the Acclaim. Good times!

[@aslkaplan1419]

Perfect song, perfect band

[@kittttygirl5]

THIS SONG MAKES ME SO HAPPY

[@nickduthu9847]

2009 NCAA World Series - iconic song

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

This song reminds me of NFL, nhra, tractor pulling, nascar. Perfect song for those lol

[@elbuenoelmaloyelfeo5247]

Damn, this song takes me back.

[@anneliseb1910]

"I don't want it to be the way they wanted!!!" LOVE this song

[@JazzyJas30]

I will forever love this song. 💜💜💜

[@shawnflores2311]

How did this song not ever become a top 40 hit? It has hooks all over it. A rock tune with enough funk to actually be able to dance to. Well done gents(OAR)

[@Tbolt1000TForLife]

Well it did make the Adult Top 40, where it peaked at number 17 if that counts.

[@Racing77Moose.]

2008 NASCAR race day love this song.

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

Back when every weekend they had over 100,000 people at every race. Nascar has dropped so much lol. The commercial with this song in it was the best one and was so perfect for NASCAR

[@Racing77Moose.]

@@NewEnglandPatriotsfan been a big difference since 2008. The commercial with is song with nascar was fire. I'll never forget seeing it on tv

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

@@Racing77Moose. Yes that was the best commercial ever for NASCAR

[@Racing77Moose.]

@@NewEnglandPatriotsfan yes it was.

[@1will2727]

O.A.R. you are the best group of the late 2000's. So many amazing songs :D

[@laurensfundaytwlphantom]

add early and mid 2000s to that as well..... :)

[@topay]

Just got back from Omaha, and proud to report that this song is still played plenty during the College World Series! Congrats Vols on the 2024 title!

[@matthewspeck5467]

I don't remember how many years ago it was but back when I used to go this summer camp there was this one year where it rained for 3 weeks straight. I remember being soaked through my clothes and getting back to the cabin with a friend of mine, and he went over to his ipod and started looking through his songs. He finally settled on this song and it made me feel lkke I didn't care about the rain for a while. I just wanted to say thanks O.A.R. for making this song

[@jonathanstache1634]

Just heard this song today in a coffee shop. Fantastic

[@mikeycarter]

Joel McGuiness this is a coffee shop esque song. Actually, lots of stores tbh

[@aileenff20]

i remember listening to this song when i was in second grade when my sister would put vh1 top 20 music countdown or something. i remember the sun would peek through the curtains and the air was so crisp^^ and when we would wait in the mornings of school, we would just watch our breaths because it was fun lmao. im 16 now and i moved to the other side of the city, but the air is thick and i go to school before the sun comes up so i never get to see the puffs of my breath or the sun slowly rise from the mountains, and morning car rides don't feel like a new day anymore but just another place to get 10 more minutes of sleep.

[@call_me_rhee6866]

omg a person my age that likes OAR, and is relatable. lets be friends 😂

[@mandoist]

You ever consider writing song lyrics? Consider it.

[@missydarr2874]

Thank you for sharing... It was so great to live that memory with you.

[@jcool1945]

Super pumped i saw this when you were at light up night in Pittsburgh. Totally crushed it!

[@SHarrell42069]

NASCAR Nationwide Series intro!!! LOVE THIS SONG! Even all these years later 😎

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

Yes, it is a Nascar song. Was their best commercial ever that had this song

[@grantsmithofficial]

Throwback ❤️

[@flyntflossy3044]

Rosenblatt forever

[@IWantToMature85]

First heard this during the 2009 college world series which my LSU Tigers won. It still means a lot!

[@mattyballgame6643]

The true anthem of Omaha, and Division I college ball!

[@mitchmassard3716]

Bro every game in my collegiate career at least one guy had the hook as their walk up

[@MiguelRodriguez-ov6cz]

Spent 2 hours trying to find this song. All I knew was the sound of the guitar!!😂 LEGENDARY!!!! ❤️

[@NinjaNerdOG]

I just rediscovered this song because of an old Myspace survey I did in 2009. I had completely forgotten about it!

[@pimpino]

College World Series!!

[@alexoboyle9339]

Reminds me of reshman year in highschool when all I did was watch college baseball and that's all I ever wanted to do was play professionally...

[@josalgado8704]

Alex O'Boyle how'd it go? how far are you going with baseball?

[@vSh4rp]

This song means college baseball to me

[@duskrider1724]

Epic intro

[@1one2two420]

Let’s take this town.

[@JacobB477]

I really like how they use some saxophone in their music! I think it makes it sound really cool!

[@timhughes773]

All OAR songs are awesome! Takes me back to better times.

[@JacobB477]

I hear this fairly often in Kohl's, which is where I first discovered it and the band.

[@jiranika]

Still one of the best jams in 2020.

[@justaguy2356]

This song still kicks ass in 2023

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

Yes, totally a motorsports and car show song lol

[@southmonroeairsoft7430]

[@snawzonake]

This is the anthem of all true Braves kings

[@michaelbruce6195]

I saw these guys in Charlotte, NC. a couple years ago. Music was great but lead man seemed a bit tired and just getting through...I get pumped to music that is near and dear to my heart but didn't feel the same from him. He seemed obviously tired from a long road of live events. I had a great time in spite of his disconnection.

[@zawongendo5664]

awesome song

[@martyk1985]

Always think of UGA football in Athens when I hear OAR and this song In particular!!!

[@GamecockRock90]

I think of the 2010 CWS. GAMECOCKS

[@carolinegodden4364]

First day Im hearing this group. One 🐥 in Australia 🇦🇺

[@luanvasconcelosbarbosa5490]

Como essa música não fez muito sucesso?? Eu achei ela a anos e adorei e nunca esqueço

[@MrRandychristian]

Modern and contemporary music changes drastically when a generation changes. This was at the tail end if a generation and the beginning of a new one. Great song bad timing for the generation.

[@YeeMacghyee]

Heard this on the radio years ago. About time i found it again.

[@alanstatham6436]

Great song!

[@TheAiUniverse2023]

John Kasich approves of this message 👍🏻

[@ButteWhat]

definitely

[@MyChibivampire]

I love hearing this song it brings back good memories XD

[@incorrectpajamas]

This reminds me of soooo many good memories. And people that i'll never see again. It's sad really.

[@CodyStranger]

This song got me into OAR and when I hear it I think about the CHL Saskatoon Blades as they use it lots

[@vanstra]

Back in 2022!

[@georgepalko5689]

Can’t wait to see OAR at Blossom Music Center Aug 2023🎼🎸🎤

[@NewEnglandPatriotsfan]

Nice, they are probably excellent live

[@leonewainaina]

Pretty awesome....
