'I didn't think anybody would cut it like that as a single. 'My demo is very similar to what they did,' Johnston says, which he still finds surprising. Watch the music videos for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill duets spanning their amazing Country Music careers. Johnston also noted that McGraw and Hill didn't make drastic changes to the song, choosing to keep its laid-back tone and arrangement. And, notes, Johnson, 'those have been mega songs for him. From their first ever album together The Rest Of Our Life, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's new single 'The Rest Of Our Life is available now. That's because, as McGraw himself explained, the country superstar has only done a handful of duets with his wife. Johnston has written hit songs before (McGraw's 'Southern Girl,' Keith Urban's 'You Gonna Fly,' Jake Owen's 'Beachin'' and 'Days of Gold'), but as he explained, 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's' turned out to be 'a big moment' for him as a songwriter.

And that song just had 'special' written all over it, when we first heard it, together like that.' Over the next twenty-plus years, Tim accumulated twenty-five number-one hits on the Billboard Country Charts. The song Don’t Take The Girl became Tim’s first number-one hit in 1994. Tim will release his fourteenth studio album in 2015. 'Before we think of recording it, we want it to feel special to us. Tim first came onto the country music scene in 1993 with his first studio album titled Tim McGraw. 'Every time we record a song, we try to make it feel like it's a special song,' McGraw says. 'Cause meanwhile back at Mama's The porch light's on, come on in if you wanna Supper's on the stove and beer's in the fridge Red sun sinkin' out low on the ridge McGraw continues to describe why the song was so attractive to him: 'Because of what it said, because of our life together, how we felt about family.'

'I said, 'Not only am I going to cut, but you're going to sing it with me.' And that's how it was born, right there.' He smiles at the memory, and at how immediate a reaction they both had to the song. 'I got home, I walked into the house and I said, 'Faith, you've got to hear this song.' So I played her the song, and when it got to the end and it said, 'me and you back at Mama's,' a flood of tears just came down from her eyes.'
