Hells ya If I won the lotto on my 10 thousand acre ranch in Montana Play all night dude as long as there was whisky I am sure hes in!!! hey ya can only dream till I win the lotto!!
I am 63 years old and it seems every time I turn around I am attending a funeral of a friend or family member that left this earth all too soon. I guess that sort thing is to be expected when you get to be my age. Life is short it seems. But I do know Heaven is forever.
I know exactly what you mean. I'm only 40 and I've buried all of my longtime friends except for one and he and I both share the honorary title of uncle to the children they've left behind. Between baseball games, gymnastics practice and band recitals neither of us have hardly any time to spare these days but I wouldn't have it any other way.
For all of those hating on Luke Bryan, here is what Chris Stapleton has to say about Luke's recording. Stapleton says. “When Luke took it on as a song that he wanted to perform, that’s when it got legs and got life, because of some of his family history and some losses he’s had…I have to credit Luke, it was a good pairing of an artist and a song. Sometimes that’s when the magic happens: when the right song gets with the right artist. That was one of those times.”
Just lost my father a 82nd airborne Grenada vet this morning he lost his battle to lung cancer....hardest thing ive ever been thru in my life at only 27yrs old. I listened to this song after and bald like a baby beside his body. I love you dad. Charles steven Westover
I lost my Dad this past March. Right before I turned 30. I feel you, too young for this. I just know they are resting in heaven! Prayers for you and your family!
Lost my dad to Lung Cancer 10 years ago and this was the song we played at his services. I don't cry much, but I do whenever this song is played. Dad was one of those "Salt of the Earth" people who EVERYONE connected with. I miss you dad and only hope that I live up to your standards as a father.
His version. was played at my Sister's funeral. she passed away this past mothers day. she was the one that introduced his music, & that awesome voice to me.
@Chris Stapleton your speech accent isn't very Kentucky or Tennessee. LOL. But that's ok..your music makes up for it. Before I say anything about where I'm watching from and if you remember me. Tell me a memory you have.
This song was played at my sisters funeral and I had never heard it before and no1 couldn't have made a better song to fit for passing... she was only 55...and I miss her so much... im 35 and she was like a mother 2 me ours passed away 2005...I was 20 she was 40....I miss them both so damn much
This song kills me,(😢😢)it always reminds me of my Grandpa,he passed 7 yrs ago due to health complications.That man taught me so much ,I would work with him in the summer as a teen.He taught me a trade( construction),and he taught me how to be a man.He taught me how to enjoy simple things like gardening, going for along drive on old back roads.Or just drinking a ice cold beer after working all day in the hot sun,he would say "If you work like a grown man then you should be allowed to drink like one too"He taught me self respect,honesty,and so much about life .He was a great friend ,and a awesome down to earth man.He wasnt my blood grandpa(I have never meet my blood one),and he didnt have to love me like he did ,BUT, he did!!Best grandfather a boy could ever have.I love and miss you Pappa Wes,I know your with God and Jesus enjoying what you deserve .
Did we have the same grandpa?? I played this on repeat after my grandpa passed. He was my best friend. We were inseparable. Thank you for this comment 💔💙
My grandpa was my hero and I'm 71 but I would drive the tractor while he fed the hay baler. Loved that man to pieces but he died at 83 while I was in the hospital. Can't help but think grief may have caused his stroke that killed him. He learned I would never walk again. Love you my sweet Dad. Hope to see you in heaven.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine losing a child, but I understand loss. I lost both my grandparents a couple of years ago within two days of each other from COVID My grandma raised me for the first ten years of my life and was my best friend and one of, if not the only person who got through to me when I was doing things I shouldn’t have been doing for the following fifteen years. She had such a light about her, could brighten a room with her laughter and bring out the best in people. She found my grandfather after life had taken them separate ways for decades (they were friends in their youth and both had marriages that went south) and they fell in love and got married and lived a very happy 16 years together. He became a part of our family and the rest is history. They were both beautiful people and I miss them dearly. Sometimes when I have a particularly rough day, I’ll go back and listen so some of the voicemails they left me since it’s the closest thing I can get to hearing their actual voices. I’m sorry, I’m rambling, but I guess I’m saying is I don’t know you, your son, or your stories in life, but I’d like to think even though we all make mistakes, some with dire consequences, our mistakes don’t define who we are as people unless we continue to make them. Our experiences make us grow and change sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but we can’t hang onto regret and ‘what could’ve been’. We can only control who we are now and there’s a small part of me, when I’m not making mistakes (because I’m human) that carries the lessons my grandparents taught me in my day to day life, like a voice in my whispering in my ear, and that a part of them, as cheesy as it sounds, continues to live on in me. I can only hope that your son’s spirit lives on in you in a similar way. I wish you the best and once again, I’m incredibly sorry for your loss. No one should have to go through what you’re going through.
Losing husband in 94 , Left raising our three kids alone was hardest thing I thought id ever encounter .. then 2011 I lost my daughter ... She now is buried nearest him ... This song says so much for me .. I am not a drinker at All ..but they liked beer ..so each year I go to this place I bring they're favorite beer and I drink a beer !! Then place a rose in can an PLAY this song for them ... It's tuffer than most will ever know .. but this song heals as the can slowly drifts down the river ...
@@sebastienmccarthy1483 spend so much time with him buddy, all the time you could. You'll learn a lot from him. I wish to yours a long and healthy life and future.
3-18-19 makes 1585 days and it's not one damn bit easier. I've cried at least once a day since 11-14-14. I never thought it possible to miss someone like this. Mark, brother I see you every day in my little girl, oh I wish she'd know you. She acts just like you. I know you are looking over her. I'm no longer mad at you or God, I'm trying to be thankful for the time I had with you instead of loathing the time without you. Till I see you again I'll be on peir. Love you man. Rest easy brother.
Lost one of my closest friends in november, he took his own life. I miss him every day. He was 41. 🍻 rest easy pal. I'm sorry you're gone brother. For anyone out there... please don't select a permanent solution to temporary problems.
Sitting by Chris Stapleton would be a dream for me bc he is an amazing country singer ever and sitting by him by a bonfire or campfire would be a dream come true
In 1964, 2 boys from Bettendorf Iowa met down at the Mississippi River. They made themselves a rope swing under the span of the I-74 Bridge. Who would know that friendship would last for over 53 years. On Saturday, Oct 21 my husband's childhood friend was cleaning his gutters and fell off his roof. He died instantly. We just saw Chris on Oct. 5 at the Tax Slayer Center in Moline, IL. Ironically, the Slayer is directly across the river from where the old rope swing used to be. At the time, my husband could not relate to this song... he sure can now.
My older brother passed away in his sleep last night and it is by far one of the most saddest days of my life right now. I will always miss and love you brother! R.I.P Uriah love u brother.
I miss you so much momma. I've caried you in my heart and held on to you in my best dreams. I'll be coming home to you as soon as my field is harvested.
My sister passed away June 26, 2012. She thought her light was not bright enough. I miss her more then life itself some days. She was so beautiful, crazy and young. She didn't know that she is and was so special to us all. This one is for you Patricia Lee. See you on this side or the other.
I dedicate this song to my good friend Nick Jones. We never got to have that beer together. There will be plenty when we meet again brother. RIP my dear friend.
22 years ago when l lost Lisa, I'd sit on the pier and drink one for her, now it's my turn, l hope Chris or some one drinks one for me. thank you Chris
I lost three friends that I loved like brothers I was raised with them we did everything together . I ended up going down a bad road with drugs and I ended up going to rehab for a year and within months of each other my brothers passed away from over doses and suicide .. chris sings this song like no other and I break down every time I listen to it .. I know my brothers are in a better place and Chris reassures me of that Everytime .. god bless anyone whose lost a loved one
Every time I hear this song I think of my brother who died in 05 at the age of 17 love u Stephen gone to soon but never forgotten rest easy bro until we meet again
My father passed away 9-11-2018. When i listen to this song and I am drinking a beer looking into the sky. I feel him. Hes my best friend. I have two sons. I just hope they look at me the way I look at my father. I’ll see you when I see you dad. Save me a tee time.
"Drink a Beer" is a song written by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton and recorded by American country music artist Luke Bryan. It was released in November 2013 as the third single from his fourth studio album, Crash My Party, and became his seventh number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in February 2014. Bryan has described "Drink a Beer" as "the coolest sad song ever" and notes he connects with the story after having lost both of his siblings.
Lost my older brother yesterday...wasn't there to say good bye...now its hard to sleep. have to work today but this lingers on my mind...only memories remain...keep my family in prayers...always love you Mitch...
I woke up this morning to find out that one of my childhood friends passed away in a car crash last night. Thanks Chris for this amazing song. Rest in peace Austin "Noodle" Newell.
I lost my pup a few days ago and heard this song(driving to work yesterday) how meaningful and accurate the words are.. I had to pull over and I just broke down.. miss you Packer.
His a Rare Breed Indeed. It is funny how all the Good Ones Go. My Soulmate passed 21 yrs. ago. I'm still lost without him here. Chris n him are a lotta like, from looks and "SoulShine" to their whisky & beer. Drink a Beer , was EXACTLY, word for word, what I had done & felt, except I sat right beside Gregory & shared our last Beer together !!! Till we're together again, my dear!! ^ . . ^
Matthew this songs for u. I keep going back to the time we were at the cottage sitting back on the peer shooting the shit and star gazing in the north woods. I miss u more everyday. It don't make sense to me why u had to go when u had so much life to live. New son new house you just bought. Your son is just like u a lil smart ass that cracks me up. I miss u lil brother I'll never stop part of me died along with u. And our family is broken beyond repair. Look down on us and guide me the rest of the way till I see you again. I'll sit on that peer with tears in my eyes wondering where u would be right now if u were still with us. Love u lil brother RIP Matthew B.
Heard this song at a pool bar earlier today so I shazamed it. Fast foward 7 hours later im watching the ranch this song started playing so I googled the lyrics and drink a beer popped up
Sitting on the lake crackin a cold one for you pawpaw. We all miss you and life feels empty with you gone... See you around when I come home... RIP Charles Cummings Angelina county tx
this song right here is what my brother said he wanted to be played at his funeral if something ever happened to him. well 1month later it did he was in a car wreck June 26 2014 not only did I lose him but lost my 2 nieces and nephew and sister-in-law 5 in one day it was the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with I still cry when this song is played but they was all called home I love you Hibbard family rip 1
Imagine sitting next to a bonfire with your buddies and Chris playing guitar all night long... Man what a night that would be.
agree
I'd love to be there!!
would stay all night long
Hells ya If I won the lotto on my 10 thousand acre ranch in Montana Play all night dude as long as there was whisky I am sure hes in!!! hey ya can only dream till I win the lotto!!
Silas_Merritt hell yeah
He could sing happy birthday and still make a grown man cry.
Has anyone noticed that Chris sings every song better than other artists? He’s a true genius
Well, he wrote this song.
@@johntherevelator2020 ah didn’t know that
@@mrphill8028 I didn't either, until I read the comments a while back, l.o.l.
fuk yeah!!!
It's also because he doesn't use autotune. He's actually good enough to be where he is. Most of the others aren't.
I am 63 years old and it seems every time I turn around I am attending a funeral of a friend or family member that left this earth all too soon. I guess that sort thing is to be expected when you get to be my age. Life is short it seems. But I do know Heaven is forever.

I'm also 63 lost a lot of my buddies over past 10 years fond memories sad
I just turned 63 and I know the feeling . Seems like everyday I get a call
Damn ya'll Im 45, & this ain't nothing to look forward to.... :(
I'm 56 and I just lost my second sister. Death is apart of life. I have a big family and I'm thankful for everyone of them. Jesus is coming!

For all you "Country Fans" Chris actually wrote this song
I always thought it was Luke Bryan lol
no shit..
I don't think Luke Bryan has ever written a song....
Jason S who's wrong?
not u Aaron, some of the replies from your post. I know Chris wrote this

So sorry for your loss. This song reminds me if my brother who was killed by a drunk driver. Kills me EVERY TIME I hear it.
I'm sorry
I lost my Dad this past March. Right before I turned 30. I feel you, too young for this. I just know they are resting in heaven! Prayers for you and your family!
Hey man…. My dad died in 2018 and his best friend played an acoustic guitar and sang this song at his funeral. It makes me cry every time I hear it

Chris Stapleton answers George Jones question Who's going to fill their Shoes. He's doing it
Damn right! Tyler Childers too
Dont forget people like Sturgill Simpson that keep the old sound of country alive.
And even luke combs
No Alan Jackson Answers his question
He’s great but idk about that
my buddy and platoon sgt in Iraq died from cancer 2 weeks ago he was a great man this song makes me think of him
My mom & I sat on a pier and sang sitin on the dock of the bay 1 week before she stepped into heaven. This song ! Oh my! Enough said.
Sitting here trying to wrap my head around that my best bud of almost 40 years is gone.
What a Damn good singer an old Kentucky boy from paintsville so proud of h him
The name of this song takes me back to a unforgettable time in my life.

Both are great versions. Don't snub Luke Bryan's version just because you hate "Country Girl Shake It For Me" and "Rain is a Good Thing"
This song reminds me off my brother.God I miss him so bad.Three Yeats ago today.love u Stevie.

This is my humble opinion only but he is the picture of pure country music, this man should be beyond superstar status. He is true country
ABSOLUTELY!!
This opinion is actually FACT… sorry to break it to you friend…

Best song I’ve heard in a long time
Geez. It's turning out this guy has written like half of the songs I've really liked over the last decade or so.
My father passed away 9-11-2018. When i listen to this song and I am drinking a beer looking into the sky. I feel him. Hes my best friend. I have two sons. I just hope they look at me the way I look at my father. I’ll see you when I see you dad. Save me a tee time.
Perfect song for the early passing of my best friend, and the best friend of many, George Michael Brooks. Miss you my friend! Cheers!

He's awesome
This is the most beautiful song about drinking beer I’ve ever heard.
Never wanted a beer more in my life until this...

The most heart felt song for a friend's death ever. Cheers, RIP. Amen...
I listened to this song on repeat after my one of my bestfriends passed away from cancer this song helped me through it all
2017 When my Older brother passed on .Rest easy Mwenda Zulu .
I woke up this morning to find out that one of my childhood friends passed away in a car crash last night. Thanks Chris for this amazing song. Rest in peace Austin "Noodle" Newell.
I lost my pup a few days ago and heard this song(driving to work yesterday) how meaningful and accurate the words are.. I had to pull over and I just broke down.. miss you Packer.
His a Rare Breed Indeed. It is funny how all the Good Ones Go. My Soulmate passed 21 yrs. ago. I'm still lost without him here. Chris n him are a lotta like, from looks and "SoulShine" to their whisky & beer. Drink a Beer , was EXACTLY, word for word, what I had done & felt, except I sat right beside Gregory & shared our last Beer together !!! Till we're together again, my dear!! ^ . . ^
This song sounds so much better with his voice.
Matthew this songs for u. I keep going back to the time we were at the cottage sitting back on the peer shooting the shit and star gazing in the north woods. I miss u more everyday. It don't make sense to me why u had to go when u had so much life to live. New son new house you just bought. Your son is just like u a lil smart ass that cracks me up. I miss u lil brother I'll never stop part of me died along with u. And our family is broken beyond repair. Look down on us and guide me the rest of the way till I see you again. I'll sit on that peer with tears in my eyes wondering where u would be right now if u were still with us. Love u lil brother RIP Matthew B.
RIP MICHAEL STEVEN PETERS II. LOVE YOU DAD THANKS FOR EVERYTHING #LEGEND

Heard this song at a pool bar earlier today so I shazamed it. Fast foward 7 hours later im watching the ranch this song started playing so I googled the lyrics and drink a beer popped up
Don't disrespect other artists in the name of Chris Stapleton. He has a large respect for all artists
meow bi tch zcfyfFdza Can a
Don't close your eyes
And calling Luke Bryant an artist is hilarious
Chris is an artist but Luke is a puppet
Olivia Patrick wish I could like this comment more than once
