Luke Bryan – But I Got A Beer In My Hand (Audio, Lyrics)

Luke Bryan releases a new song, “But I Got A Beer In My Hand” produced by Jeff Stevens & Jody Stevens. The piece comes as a teaser for His forthcoming project. Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the track.

Co-written by Chase McGill, Matt Dragstrem and Geoff Warburton, “But I Got a Beer in My Hand” is an upbeat song that is quintessentially Bryan with nods to a deer stand, Lucchese cowboy boots, and, of course, beer. The lyrics find the singer as a man who was just broken up with. But rather than being sad, Bryan has the comfort of a cold one to keep him company.

But I got a beer in my hand / And I got it raised up high / I ain’t got a give in my damn right / I can do this all night / Country done came to town / This town don’t stand a chance … Feelin’ this high, wasn’t part of my plan / Wasn’t even gonna try / But I got a beer in my hand,” he sings in the lively chorus.

“I knew I wanted a fun up-tempo song everyone could enjoy this summer,” Bryan says in a press release. “I can’t wait to start doing it live. It’s gonna be a blast.”

“Your new summer anthem has arrived,” he adds on Instagram. “This town doesn’t stand a chance with this one.”

“Beer” is the first single off Bryan’s forthcoming album. It follows his previous single, “Country On,” off his 2022 compilation album, Prayin’ in a Deer Stand, which became his 30th No. 1 hit. This summer, Bryan will headline the Country On Tour that kicks off on June 15 in Syracuse, New York, and continues through the fall where it wraps on October 28 in Charleston, South Carolina. He’ll also return to Las Vegas for his residency at Resorts World on August 30 and September 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah

[Verse 1]
That old familiar, meant to kill you, middle finger, rearview mirror
Supposed to make a country boy sad
I should be in my recliner, whiskey typin’ up one-liners
Cryin’, trying to get you back
Yeah, I know how that country song goes
I’m supposed to be heartbroke

[Chorus]
But I got a beer in my hand, and I got it raised up high
I ain’t got a give in my damn right, I can do this all night
Country done came to town, this town don’t stand a chance
I’ll holler at the ladies, dancin’ like crazy, new Luccheses, fresh up out the deer stand
Feelin’ this high, wasn’t part of my plan
Wasn’t even gonna try
But I got a beer in my hand

[Verse 2]
The bands playin’ David Lee Murphy, party crowd, it’s party thirty
Lawdy mercy, I’m feelin’ good
And I’m bettin’ you’re bettin’, that I’m a wreck and you reckon
I’ll call you up any second and I would

[Chorus]
But I got a beer in my hand, and I got it raised up high
I ain’t got a give in my damn right, I can do this all night
Country done came to town, this town don’t stand a chance
I’ll holler at the ladies, dancin’ like crazy, new Luccheses, fresh up out the deer stand
Feelin’ this high wasn’t part of my plan
Wasn’t even gonna try
But I got a beer in my hand

[Bridge]
I meant to miss you
Oops, my bad
I meant to be blue

[Chorus]
But I got a beer in my hand, and I got it raised up high
I ain’t got a give in my damn right, I’m gon’ do this all night
Country done came to town, this town don’t stand a chance
I’ll holler at the ladies dancin’ like crazy, new Luccheses, fresh up our the deer stand
Feelin’ this high wasn’t part of my plan
Wasn’t even gonna try
But I got a beer in my hand

[Outro]
But I got a beer in my hand
But I got a beer in my hand
