Song updated, review now!
I'd be ridin' in a cab goin' downtown
Findin' faces I know in a big crowd
Tryin' to drink the pain away, mhmm
And I'd be stayin' out all night, never goin' home
Girl you know I'd lose all control
If I lost you

There would be a riot
Breakin' of my heart, I'd try to fight it
I could go out every night but I'd be lyin'
If I said I could live and breathe
Without you
There'd be a lot of lonely
Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me
I would do most anything baby
If only you would come back to me
Come back to me
There would be a riot
Oh yeah, oooh

I'd be checkin' on my phone every minute
Waitin' 'round for it to start ringin'
And prayin' it would be you
I don't know what I'd do

There would be a riot
Breakin' of my heart, I'd try to fight it
I could go out every night but I'd be lyin'
If I said I could live and breathe
Without you
There'd be a lot of lonely
Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me
I would do most anything baby if only
You would come back to me
Come back to me
There would be a riot
If I ever lost you
If I ever lost you

There would be a riot
Breakin' of my heart, I'd try to fight it
I could go out every night but I'd be lyin'
If I said I could live and breathe
There'd be a lot of lonely
Wishin' and prayin' that you would hold me
I would do most anything baby if only
You would come back to me
Come back to me
There would be a riot
If I ever lost you

There would be, there would be a riot
Breakin' of my heart, I'd try to fight it
There would be a riot
If I ever lost you

About"Riot" is a song written by Jaron Boyer and Sara Haze, and recorded by American country music group Rascal Flatts. It is the third single from their 2014 album Rewind.

The song is a "pleading ballad replete with piano, strings and Gary LeVox's tender tenor and gentle vibrato". In it, the narrator pleads that his lover not leave him, saying that "there would be a riot" should she do so.

Giving it an "A", Tammy Ragusa of Country Weekly wrote that "A well-written lyric,gives a simple twist as Gary, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney add their full band and harmonies in the verses and soar through the choruses, building to a crescendo that will leave you breathless when it drops back to just Gary's ethereal vocal, piano and strings." Taste of Country also favorably reviewed the song, saying that "Sonically, 'Riot' is complex and beautiful, playing to the strengths of each band member perfectly,The guitar riffs and crescendoing instrumentation create a soaring sound, while the soft cello underneath provides the foundation for a track that will play just as well in intimate acoustic settings as it will in the huge arenas Rascal Flatts play on a regular basis."

The music video was directed by Brian Lazzaro and premiered in April 2015.

The song has sold 201,000 copies in the US as of August 2015.
