[Verse 1]
Buddies, roll up in the morning and hand you a coffee
Tell ya hurry up, the fish ain't gonna wait on you
Buddies, don't give you no warning
When they shoot up a stop sign out on some old county road

[Chorus]
I've got ones that I've fought with and outrun the law with
Ones that I'd give my last dime if I had it
One on the wagon and one out there dragging a plow
Behind an old John Deere
They work hard for their money, their boots all stay muddy
All my beer drinking, deer dragging, dusty dirt road riding buddies

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Buddies, smell trouble 'fore it happens
And when it starts to happen they're right with you rolling in a parking lot
Buddies, make your girlfriends so mad, and keep your mama from sleeping
'Cause they both know too well that I've got

[Chorus]
Ones that I've fought with and outrun the law with
Ones that I'd give my last dime if I had it
One on the wagon and one out there dragging a plow
Behind an old John Deere
They work hard for their money, their boots all stay muddy
All my beer drinking, deer dragging, dusty dirt road riding buddies

[Verse 3]
I got one in a Humvee that keeps all of us free
One that got his heart broke and went half crazy
Got one that moved far away, one that rings my phone every day
The one when he hears this he'll shed a tear
They work hard for their money, everything they've got's muddy
All my beer drinking, deer dragging, dusty dirt road riding, tailgating good time, trash, tall walking buddies
All my buddies

[Outro]
Ya'll know who you are
Catch ya'll on the flipside

Thomas Luther “Luke” Bryan was born July 17, 1976 in Leesburg, Georgia, to Tommy and LeClaire Watkins Bryan. His parents also raised him in Leesburg. At age 14, his parents bought him his first guitar, and after learning to play it, he joined various local bands and began to play in local clubs. After graduating Lee County High School, Bryan planned to move to Nashville, Tennessee; however, this move was delayed, due to the death of his brother, Chris, in a car accident, on the same day he planned to leave. Luke attended Georgia Southern University, and is a member of the Eta Zeta chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. After graduation Luke went to work for his dad, despite everyone encouraging him to move to Tennessee. His dad encouraged him to relocate and he arrived in Nashville in 2001, signing a record deal only two months later. The 6'01/2" singer-songwriter married Caroline Boyer on December 8, 2006. The couple have two sons. Thomas “Bo” Boyer Bryan was born March 18, 2008 and Tatum “Tate” Christopher Bryan was born August 11, 2010. Luke’s nephew Tilden “Til” Cheshire also lives with the Bryan’s, after his mother (Luke’s older sister, Kelly) died in 2007 and his father died in 2014. Among the songs Luke is known for are “Drunk on You” and “Someone Else Calling You Baby”.
