Rascal Flatts were founded near Columbus, Ohio. Gary Levox and Jay DeMarcus are second cousins from a musical family. DeMarcus's brother-in-law, James Otto, is also a country music artist. DeMarcus moved to Nashville in 1992, earning his first record deal as part of a Christian group called East to West. In 1997, he finally convinced LeVox to leave behind his job with the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and follow his musical dreams as well. DeMarcus soon joined Chely Wright's band, and there he met Joe Don Rooney. DeMarcus and LeVox were working in a Printer's Alley nightclub, and when their part-time guitarist could not make it one night, DeMarcus invited Rooney to sit in. Eventually, they took the name Rascal Flatts from a famous landmark in Oklahoma and began performing together, getting signed to Lyric Street Records in late 1999.
It's mainly about a teenage girl. She gets cancer. When he sings the line between the red cells and white, something's not right. It's the cancer. Her hair starts falling out. She has her very first boyfriend. When her boyfriend finds out she has cancer, she told him the same day as the prom night. When he got home he went and shaved his head for her. So she wouldn't feel alone because she was bald on prom night. It's sad but heartwarming.
Rascal Flatts is not a person but a group that consist of Gary LeVox (lead vocals), Jay DeMarcus (bass guitar) and Joe Don Rooney (lead guitar).
Gary LeVox and wife Tara currently raising two daughters, Brittany and Brooklyn.
Joe Don Rooney and wife and former Playboy Playmate Tiffany Fallon, married in 2006. They welcomed their first child, a son named Jagger Donovan Rooney, on May 31, 2008.
The wife of Jay DeMarcus is a former Tennessee beauty queen, Allison Anderson. The couple
reportedly met on the set while DeMarcus was filming the music video for "These Days" and were married in 2004.
Gary and Jay are second-cousins and Jay asked Gary to come sing with him because he knew that Gary had talent. One night when Gary and Jay were doing a gig, they had to get a sit-it guitarist, which was Joe Don. Right after they finished the first song they played, they just clicked, and they knew that they were awesome together. From there they did several gigs, and eventually got signed.
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' ?til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
(My wish for you)
This is my wish
(My wish for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you
(My wish for you)
May all your dreams stay big
(My wish for you)

Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts plays a number of instruments, but the one that he plays most, especially for the band, is electric guitar. He also plays acoustic, mandolin, bass, and others.
Rascal Flatts got there name when they were playing at a bar in Nashville. They told the small audience that they were still in need of a good name because they were not quite happy with their current name "Okla-hio". (Made from combining their two home states- Oklahoma and Ohio) After the show an older man came up to Gary LeVox and told him that he used to have a garage band a long time ago. His band called themselves "Rascal Flatts" and that should be the name for Gary, Jay, and Joe Don.
Carl Boshers was the drummer on tour between 2000-2003. He helped start the band with Jay Demarcus when Jay and Carl were working with Michael English. He also fills in as a studio drummer for many of the songs.
Rascalequip, I believe you have been misinformed. Lonnie Wilson was the drummer in 2000. Oh yeah and I should let you know Carl Boshers could not have helped start the band, he was occupied pursuing drug rehabilitation. I think he is another crazy fan,or maybe delusional for going as far as he has with the drummer lies. He is not listed on any albums or mentioned in any of the tours.In fact if you google Carl Boshers some of the results are rascalequip.com. What a coincidence!Also It does not make any sense why a Rascal Flatts' drummer would be selling sawmill equipment.Who would take such a pay cut?
The main characters are Sterling North and Rascal. Rascal is the raccoon that Sterling saved from a lynx that was trying to kill him. It was pretty much a moment in the authos life that happened.
I have been trying to find the answer to that question for years. It looks like Emily van camp, the actress from everwood but I've never been able to confirm that.
Gary Levox: July 10, 1970 (42)
Jay Demarcus: April 26, 1971 (41)
Joe Don Rooney: Sepember 13, 1975 (37)

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
[Repeat Chorus]
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Oh
[Repeat Chorus]
