[Verse 1]
I'm going to put on my new shirt
Shine up these old boots
Take a deep breath
Try to keep my cool
I know you're going to be there
I'm going to have a couple drinks, just to knock off the edge
Not too much, don't want to make a fool of myself
I know you're going to be there, I know you're going to be there

[Chorus]
And I'm going to bring somebody I barely even know
And when you turn my way, I'm going to pull her in close
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
I just want to see if you still care
I know you're going to be there

[Verse 2]
You love the band that's playing, you wouldn't miss them for the world
All our friends are coming out and if I know one thing, girl, I know you're going to be there
Going to walk right by that table were you always like to sit
And when I run into you, it's going to be an accident
I know you're going to be there

I'm going to act like it ain't nothing, but another Friday night
And you're just some old friend and I'm doing just fine
Like I'm only going out to shake off another week
Maybe see the boys and catch a buzz somewhere
But I know you're going to be there

[Chorus]
And I'm going to bring somebody I barely even know
And when you turn my way, I'm going to pull her in close
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
I just want to see if you still care
I know you're gonna be there
I know you're gonna be there

[Outro]
I'm going to put on my new shirt
Shine up these old boots
Truth is when I see you, I don't know what I'll do

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”.
