Content

A girl heads out for a Friday evening date at 6:00 in the evening. Her mother tells her to be back in bed before dawn. After the teenagers see a show and get a bite to eat, they head out for some late-night dancing. Eventually, they spend the night there and head out to her house at 4:00 A.M. The girl does not get home in time, and is grounded and punished with chores, but sneaks out again at 6:00 P.M. the next evening.

Writing and production

Garth provided the following background information on the song in the CD booklet liner notes from The Hits:

"Kent Blazy, Kim Williams, and I sat out on the back porch of Kent and Sharon Blazy's house and decided we wanted to write something that was a lot of fun, for no other reason than just that, fun. "Ain't Going Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)" is what we came up with. Kent and Sharon had just moved into their new home and this was the first song we had ever written at their house. They still reside there, and hopefully there are a lot more songs on that back porch."[1]

Mark Casstevens played acoustic guitar, Chris Leuzinger played electric guitar, Milton Sledge played drums, Mike Chapman played bass guitar, Rob Hajacos played fiddle, Bobby Wood played electric piano, Terry McMillan played harmonica, and Trisha Yearwood provided harmony vocals.
