Live From the Ryman And More

A Change Would Do You Good (Live from the Ryman/2019)

A fast, sharp pop-rock anthem about confidence after heartbreak. Bring Me Down finds its singer shaking off an ex who won’t stop running his mouth — with quick wit, driving guitars, and a beat built for strutting. A modern mix of pop polish and rock swagger, it builds fast, hits hard, and gets to the chorus before you can blink. She says she’s chill — but listen close, and you’ll hear the bite under the smile. The song isn’t just about letting go, it’s about pretending you already did.

[Verse 1]

It’s fine, we split, that’s how it goes 
Why you still talkin’ loud? 
You said you’d go where freedom flows 
But now you’re runnin’ your mouth.

You always needed one more kick 
Now you’ve found someone new. 
She loves you “half to death,” you brag — 
She’s smokin’ crystal too. 

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep talkin’ trash and see what ends 
I’ll find a brand new groove, new friends.

[Chorus]

And the night gets kind of wild in this town
And the night ain’t gonna bring me down

[Verse 2]

You play around, that’s fair, I guess
I’ve seen your little flame. 
Some boys think she’s a ten, I’d say 
I’ve known some better names. 

You drag my name through every bar 
And think it makes you tough. 
You say she takes your breath away — 
She’s smokin’ crystal stuff. 

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep talkin’ smack, we know how it goes 
I’ll hit the club in my freak-show clothes. 

[Chorus]

And the night gets kind of wild in this town
And the night ain’t gonna bring me down

[Bridge]

It’s time we made this crystal clear 
Say what you want — don’t drag me near. 

[Chorus]

And the night gets kind of wild in this town
And the night ain’t gonna bring me down
