Introduction
Released on December 6, 1993, “Rock My World (Little Country Girl)” is a spirited country‑rock single penned by Bill LaBounty and Steve O’Brien, and recorded by the iconic American duo Brooks & Dunn . The track stands out as the fourth single from their sophomore album Hard Workin’ Man, which had already delivered several hits, including the title track and “She Used to Be Mine” .
Notably, this song marks the second single to feature Kix Brooks as lead vocalist, diverging from the duo’s usual spotlight on Ronnie Dunn . With its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus, it captured listeners’ hearts and climbed to No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks, just shy of the top spot . The single also achieved crossover appeal, peaking at No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, and enjoyed a solid 20-week run on the country charts, kicking off at No. 59 in mid‑December 1993 .
“Rock My World” was born into a period of prolific creativity for Brooks & Dunn. The Hard Workin’ Man album was recorded throughout 1992–1993 in iconic Nashville studios and is remembered for its polished production by Don Cook and Scott Hendricks . The album’s impressive chart performance demonstrated the duo’s versatility—balancing Kix’s playful lead on rock‑tinged tracks with Ronnie’s signature emotional depth.
Over the years, the song has maintained cultural resonance. It has been featured live in joint performances, such as the Brooks & Dunn and Reba McEntire residency in Las Vegas in 2015 . More recently, it was revitalized on Reboot II (released November 2024) through a collaborative reinterpretation featuring Marcus King, melding soulful instrumentation with the country‑rock foundation of the original

Lyric
She’s got a t-top camaro with a scoop on the hood
And two big speakers blasting johnny b. goode
Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime
She plays with my heart and messes with my mind
Acts like madonna but she listens to merle
Rock my world little country girl
She wears snakeskin boots made by calvin klein
And cheap sunglasses from the five and dime
All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks
She got an “a” in math and never cracked a book
Sure looks good in her denim and pearls
Rock my world little country girl
Chorus:
Rock my world
Drag me out on the floor
Dance with me till i can’t dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine
I tell her that i love her but it ain’t enough
She says i got to learn to loosen up
Get a little wild on saturday night
But make sure she’s home before the mornin’ light
Sunday she’s all ribbons and curls
Rock my world little country girl
(repeat chorus)
Rock my world little country girl
