Garth Brooks Lay Down and Dance tune serves as the first single from his upcoming album. Check out his insightful new interview and more here!
Garth Brooks Lay Down and Dance (Officially “Baby, Let’s Lay Down and Dance”) tune was released in 2016 as a track on his Gunslinger album. CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee Garth Brooks revealed “Baby, Let’s Lay Down And Dance” as the first single from his upcoming 11th studio album set to be released later this year by Pearl Records, Inc. The tune is now available at Country radio!
“’Baby, Let’s Lay Down And Dance’ was just a fun title that Kent Blazy has had in his book of titles forever, always threatening to write it,” said Brooks in a statement. “So one day Kim, Kent and I sat down and wrote it. We got a little help from Steve Dorff and then Victoria Shaw finished it. In the middle of this, Kim Williams passed away. I’ve got to tell you, I love, love, love this song, but probably my greatest joy is the fact that this is a Kim Williams song. Not only did it make this record, it’s the first single off this record.”
Written by Brooks and long-time collaborators Victoria Shaw (“The River”), Kent Blazy (“If Tomorrow Never Comes”), Kim Williams (“Papa Loved Mama”), and Steve Dorff, the new track is also a part of an innovative campaign kicking off today. As part of a partnership with Frito-Lay, Brooks will launch the new single with a download code on a select number of Fritos corn chips bags giving fans first access to the song.

I get this feeling that I can’t explain
Every time I see your face or hear your name
I just go crazy, thinking, baby, this may be my chance
What would you say to me if I said “Baby, let’s lay down and dance”
I got to tell you, girl, you drive me wild
Every time I see you dance I see that smile
My world gets hazy and I’m moving like I’m in a trance
Whoa, I know it’s crazy, but baby, let’s lay down and dance
When it comes to love my heart is black and it’s blue
Swore I was through with romance
But girl you’re something and I’m counting on you
You’re my brand new second chance
My friends all tell me that I’m not your kind
They say I better pray your love is blind
You got to save me, I’m a victim of your circumstance
Whoa, I know it’s crazy, but baby, let’s lay down and dance
When it comes to love my heart is black and it’s blue
Swore I was through with romance
But girl you’re something and I’m counting on you
You’re my brand new second chance
I got to tell you, girl, you drive me wild
I’ve never known no one with quite your style
I’m going crazy, thinking, baby, this may be my chance
What would you say to me if I said “Baby, let’s lay down and dance”
Girl, I know it’s crazy, but baby, let’s lay down and dance
