Biography

When he was four years old, Chris Cagle moved from Louisiana to the outskirts of Houston, where he grew up. He began taking guitar lessons at six, but gave them up after a year. He took piano lessons during high school and returned to the guitar in his senior year. After high school, he enrolled at the University of Texas at Arlington, but dropped out at 19 to pursue a musical career. He moved to Nashville in 1994 and struggled for five years. His earliest songs were published by famed Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard, after which he landed a publishing deal and placed some of his songs with David Kersh. He was discovered by the assistant to the president of Virgin Records Nashville, whom he met in a restaurant where he was working. Virgin signed him and released his debut single, "My Love Goes on and On," which reached the country charts in July 2000, eventually peaking in the Top 20. His first album, Play It Loud, followed in October. It reached the country charts, and its track "Laredo" made the country Top 40. In 2001, cagle switched from Virgin to Capitol Records (both are subsidiaries of EMI), and his new label reissued Play It Loud in June 2001 with two bonus tracks. A self-titled album came in 2003, followed by Anywhere But Here in 2005, which reached the Top 40. My Life's Been A Country Song appeared in 2008. The compilation album The Best Of Chris Cagle appeared on Capitol in 2010. After a few years spent away from the music industry, during which time he built a ranch, got married, and had his first child, cagle signed with the label Big Picture Music Group. In 2011, cagle issued the single "Got My Country On" as a precursor to the studio album Back In The Saddle, which was set for a 2012 release. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

    Lyrics
    I heard the door slam and I couldn't tell
    Was it just the wind or was she mad again?
    Ah hell, she's gettin' in her car
    I hollered, “Baby is there somethin' wrong?”
    Thought I heard her say somethin' soundin' like I'm gone

    Lyrics
    Lately I've been runnin'
    Into our old friends
    And somewhere in the small talk
    Someone always asks where you've been
    So I tell them what you told me

    Lyrics
    Miss me, baby when you hear our favorite song
    Miss me, baby and when you start to sing along
    Think about all the times that we danced
    In the light to it all night long, oh
    Then miss me, baby

    Lyrics
    You've always been a friend of mine
    And that's the way we'll be 'til the day I die
    Yeah, it's good to know you're on my side
    'Cause now you know she's leaving me
    And I need your help to make her see

    Lyrics
    I remember the summer I turned 16
    And that old jalopy daddy gave to me
    It had holes in the floor and just a 305
    But I didn’t care 'cause I could finally drive
    There wasn’t much to do in my hometown
