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!!
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.
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.
Must have listened to this song 200 times since my brother passed two weeks ago today! Until me meet again my brother, my friend, I will have a beer and raise the bottle to you!
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.
@@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.
I like seeing a country song exploring a seldom touched upon subject......alcohol. Now that a country singer has FINALLY broached the subject....I would like to see more country artists dip their toe into this uncharted water....
@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.
I got a phone call from my mom that said one of my oldest friends had died and didn't believe her so I called my aunt and she confirmed it then B105 came on and said this is a new song from Luke Bryant so I got drunk and put this in TH-cam and found Chris Stapletons original version and I fell in love with it. Now every time I hear this it makes me cry! Thank you so much for making this song!!!!!!!
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.
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 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.
Best voice in music in 50 years. Best Southern voice since George Jones. I've been listening to Chris for 15 years wondering how someone like this could be overlooked. But, he's not overlooked any longer, is he? About time! ; )
A random Tuesday night, 12:58 AM ... cruising TH-cam before calling it a day (as I very often do ...). This is where the cruising led, to the end of today's "pier". My opinion, this is probably the most poignant song of all time. I plan on playing this at my wife's funeral if she dies before me 'cause we've spent a multitude of unforgettable evenings on one lake or another in our boat watching the sunset disappear (more often than not with some form of alcohol involved ...). Thank you Chris for capturing the essence of shared memories & experiences with someone you care about.
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 ...
Got the news today. They had to take my grandpa off life support after having a huge stroke. I'll miss you so much grandpa. I wish I got to see you more with you living in Florida and me in MA. I wish we could go fishing again or have a beer and talk about the ole days again. I'll cherish whatever time I had with you. I can't believe your gone😢
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.
I lost my brother last july and i immediately hung up the phone when I got the news. This song means so much to me. All the feelings. All the laughs. All the hugs. All the cheers. So to you my brother, I love and miss you. cheers!
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.
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...
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.
I only became aware of Chris Stapleton about a year ago, now I listen to him everyday. Cannot believe this man is more well-known in the mainstream, he is absolutely bloody fantastic, I definitely have a crush on him.
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
All I can do is sit here and play this song on repeat. Got one beer left in the fridge, a job ahead of me roofing, and the memories of my brother. Miss him everyday and I'm truly blessed to have this country music as my outlet. Thanks Chris
I was listening to you tube and came across Chris and have literally play it over and over and over again. Amazing how his music I have never heard before speaks to my heart like never before, chills if you know what I mean and a lot of tears. Completely identify with his music
No joke.hes music and voice,soul altogether,still whereever and whatever your doing..your now càughr up in tapping into your inner self.beautifull beautiful beautiful!!!!!!
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
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 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 lost my 19 year old son on 3/20/2014. He was the baby of 4. Three older sisters and then him. Never knew Chris wrote this song until a couple months ago. Always heard the Luke Bryan version. That is great too. Don't cut yourself short Chris. Me and my dad will see you and Hank at DTE (Pine Knob). Please play this tune!! You got it for sure brother!!
I have two boys of my own, and I can't even start to imagine your loss. I'm not much of a drinking man, but next time I drink a beer, I'll have one for you and your baby boy. Big hug from Mexico my brother.
+Jorge Villalobos, Thank you. Still in courts trying to prosecute the guy who killed him. it's been 2 1/2 years. Will be nice to finally see this guy behind bars for life. Thanks again for the kind words.
A friend of mine moved on yesterday. 18 years old, freak accident. Loved this song before, but hoped I would never have a friend to sing it about. Rest easy Brandon, thanks for the fun❤️
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!! ^ . . ^
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
It’s coming up to one year that I lost my grandfather. He was the biggest influencer I’ve had in my life. I still have dreams of him. I showed this song to my grandma after he passed and she listens to this song almost every night. Rest easy grandpa. I love you.
Chris is a gracious songwriter and he has been around for some time. He has saved country music, and for those looking for similar talent should hook up Cody Jinks. Great time for Country!!
Lost my baby brother 1 1/2 years ago at 37 yrs of age. Taken way too early as he left behind a wife and 2 little girls. I play acoustic and this is my remembrance song in his honour! Thanks to Luke and Chris for this fantastic song!
Lost a friend of mine and my older sister’s. His birthday is coming up soon and I can’t even imagine what kind of hell she’ll go through knowing her baby brother won’t be there..he was taken away way too soon, only 15. He died last year, August 11th.
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.
As I sit here. He has the three top albums in country music. Seeing him accomplish gives one faith to keep living your passion. I have such admiration for CHRIS Stapleton.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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!
Must have listened to this song 200 times since my brother passed two weeks ago today! Until me meet again my brother, my friend, I will have a beer and raise the bottle to you!
@AndyBenitez-eb7kl hey!
@AndyBenitez-eb7kl it’s definitely a classic to me!
@AndyBenitez-eb7kl Alan is great . I'm more of the Southern Rock kind of girl - I love A Thousand Horses and Jason Isbell.
@AndyBenitez-eb7kl Not before today - I had to look him up. Great voice and incredible skill.
@AndyBenitez-eb7kl Lots of fun and great New Year's with friends! You know, Fireball and Amsterdam!!
I played this song for my best friend at his wake. He requested it in his will. Thank you Chris for writing such a beautiful song.
From the depth of his lyrics there is a psychic pain that most will never know.
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
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
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.
This song reminds me of a man that was a close friend. miss him greatly.
my grandfather passed away yesterday and i came to listen to this song to comfort myself a little bit. RIP granpa
Praying for you🙏🏼 keep your head up
@@garretthuffman That's the only thing we can do for him right now. Thank you !
Sorry for you loss, man. Don’t know what I would do if I lost my grandpa.
@@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.
Jonas Tabti Thanks, man. That’s much appreciated
I like seeing a country song exploring a seldom touched upon subject......alcohol. Now that a country singer has FINALLY broached the subject....I would like to see more country artists dip their toe into this uncharted water....
The name of this song takes me back to a unforgettable time in my life.
❤ 📚 🚂 ❄ ⏰ 🛸 🍎 🍂 👔 ☎️
@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.
@Chris Stapletonhey I haven't heard from you. I hope everything is ok 😊
Great song and one of my husband's favorite song.He passed away a month ago.,45yo :(
In a world where we are running out of good story tellers chris stapleton has emerged to save us all from the garbage out today
I got a phone call from my mom that said one of my oldest friends had died and didn't believe her so I called my aunt and she confirmed it then B105 came on and said this is a new song from Luke Bryant so I got drunk and put this in TH-cam and found Chris Stapletons original version and I fell in love with it.

What a Damn good singer an old Kentucky boy from paintsville so proud of h him
Love this song u didn't even know who u where
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.
Lost a good friend yesterday 💔 Having this one for you Patrick. 1989-2021
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.
Love is the one who does make us ,, feel free to , hold the crown , of a great soul of tears , shed in Joy always and forever ...
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.

I came here to hear him sing this. He wrote this song. It’s so beautiful. I miss my momma so much. It’s been a long two week.
Whoever you are…I love ya. And I hope you can feel it. I’m sorry that life is so fucking hard and awful.
i lost my best friend today i had known him for years i never got to say goodbye😢😢
Man he killed this! This should've been on his album.
I remember you my friend and all the times we used to drink a beer. Love and miss my bro, RIP James!!

It’s not the same, at all.
I say goodbye to my father and my son the same way.
Got the news today. They had to take my grandpa off life support after having a huge stroke. I'll miss you so much grandpa. I wish I got to see you more with you living in Florida and me in MA. I wish we could go fishing again or have a beer and talk about the ole days again. I'll cherish whatever time I had with you. I can't believe your gone😢
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.
That's the way that song should be sung!!
I lost a younger brother of 40yrs. This song hits home for me. Love you Sundown miss you
I lost my brother last july and i immediately hung up the phone when I got the news. This song means so much to me. All the feelings. All the laughs. All the hugs. All the cheers. So to you my brother, I love and miss you. cheers!
Chris Stapleton is Country we need more of these guys back in music!!
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"
551 people have never lost a good friend. This one tugs on the heart strings.
Played at my sons funeral now its hard to listen to but cant stop playing it. wish I had been a better dad
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.

No one should have to go through what you’re going through.
My prayers to you brother, God bless.
Prayers
Amazing Artists!! Saw him at Wrigley Field yesterday...Excellent!!
I listened to this song on my way home and hit me in the heart and was trying to keep myself together lol
Not only did he write this great song but he also plays the hell out of it to
Friends, family, beer, and this song. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
all there is or in my case what's left
Amen to that
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...
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.
😍
We lost my Grandson this past Saturday, July 22. at 25 YO. He was so loved by so many and will be greatly missed. RIP Zach.
Chris Stapleton love your songs. It's been a long time since a blues/country singer I could play over and over your blues reminded me of the greats.
Listening to your music, I feel like I'm living in a movie with beautiful scenes.
Beautiful song - I lost my bro about a month ago, this song resonates with me, Chris thank you so much for writhing this song.
I only became aware of Chris Stapleton about a year ago, now I listen to him everyday. Cannot believe this man is more well-known in the mainstream, he is absolutely bloody fantastic, I definitely have a crush on him.
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…
Perfect song for the early passing of my best friend, and the best friend of many, George Michael Brooks. Miss you my friend! Cheers!
Lost my dad 10 years ago.. I’m 20 now and everyday I think about his face and how much I miss him. This one is for you dad I love you
Best song I’ve heard in a long time
My hero
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
Thank you for this song Chris! Came along at the right time for me!
All I can do is sit here and play this song on repeat. Got one beer left in the fridge, a job ahead of me roofing, and the memories of my brother. Miss him everyday and I'm truly blessed to have this country music as my outlet. Thanks Chris

Chase man I've walked more miles in those shoes than I care to admit. Stay strong so your not another statistic. Love you man.
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 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.
May she live on in your memories.
This song reminds me off my brother.God I miss him so bad.Three Yeats ago today.love u Stevie.
I lost my 19 year old son on 3/20/2014. He was the baby of 4. Three older sisters and then him. Never knew Chris wrote this song until a couple months ago. Always heard the Luke Bryan version. That is great too. Don't cut yourself short Chris. Me and my dad will see you and Hank at DTE (Pine Knob). Please play this tune!! You got it for sure brother!!
Sorry countryman, really.!!!
Thank you my friend!!
I have two boys of my own, and I can't even start to imagine your loss. I'm not much of a drinking man, but next time I drink a beer, I'll have one for you and your baby boy. Big hug from Mexico my brother.
+Jorge Villalobos, Thank you. Still in courts trying to prosecute the guy who killed him. it's been 2 1/2 years. Will be nice to finally see this guy behind bars for life. Thanks again for the kind words.
Sorry to hear about that. I am a 19 year old myself and I could never imagine how my parents would feel
I just lost my gramps to cancer an this song made me think of the good times we had.
Chris Stapleton is the best thing to happen in a very long time time.....AMAZING!!!
smliesofpity your absolutely right👍
Fact.
Best Southern voice, writer, and performer in 50 years.
Exactly!!!
Just found out about the passing of a dear friend! Listening to this and thinking of the good times. Love you Stacey!
Smashing the repeat. Way Underrated. REAL COUNTRY
I dedicate this to my sister who died in my arm 11-12-12...i miss her more each day.. Love u baby girl.. Until we meet again.
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
Sitting here trying to wrap my head around that my best bud of almost 40 years is gone.
I dedicate this to my brother Adam. Keep resting in peace bro. I love you. I'll meet you there with a bottle of Maker's.
My best friend died 6 years ago. This song sums it up for me. I miss you every day, Chuck.
Well done!!! Reminds me of a couple people I've lost. This guy is so amazing.
Lost my best friend today and this version of this song came to mind. I’m going to miss you John! Rest easy my brother😢
A friend of mine moved on yesterday. 18 years old, freak accident. Loved this song before, but hoped I would never have a friend to sing it about. Rest easy Brandon, thanks for the fun❤️
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!! ^ . . ^
I dedicated this song to a dear friend of mine I have known him since I was 18 years old I'm 57 now rest in peace CW
Played this at my little brothers funeral..... R.I.P. Phil Jan.25,1983-April.12,2015.
Lost my little brother Joe back in September 2017, this song hits home.
It's hard. Lost my brother 2/12/20 to a brain aneurysm. Loved him so...
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
This is the most beautiful song about drinking beer I’ve ever heard.
It’s coming up to one year that I lost my grandfather. He was the biggest influencer I’ve had in my life. I still have dreams of him. I showed this song to my grandma after he passed and she listens to this song almost every night. Rest easy grandpa. I love you.
I think of my grandpa when I hear this song, he’s the one who taught me to “drink a beer”
I listened to this song on repeat after my one of my bestfriends passed away from cancer this song helped me through it all
Can’t get enough of Stapleton!!! Truly talented
Just lost a dear friend yesterday. I still can't believe it. I love you Ethan!
I Lost My Best Friend Back in 2010 and it Still Hurts Every God Damn day, Friends for Over 22 years, Sadly He took his own life R.I.P J.J.I
Chris is a gracious songwriter and he has been around for some time. He has saved country music, and for those looking for similar talent should hook up Cody Jinks. Great time for Country!!
Frank Foster too
Lost my baby brother 1 1/2 years ago at 37 yrs of age. Taken way too early as he left behind a wife and 2 little girls. I play acoustic and this is my remembrance song in his honour! Thanks to Luke and Chris for this fantastic song!
Todd HayneIm sorry for your loss. I lost a bro in law years back and tho it still hurts this songs really soothes
Lost a friend of mine and my older sister’s. His birthday is coming up soon and I can’t even imagine what kind of hell she’ll go through knowing her baby brother won’t be there..he was taken away way too soon, only 15. He died last year, August 11th.

I can't even begin to describe how much I love this Man's music. thank you Chris. you really are the are a amazing man.
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.

As I sit here. He has the three top albums in country music. Seeing him accomplish gives one faith to keep living your passion. I have such admiration for CHRIS Stapleton.
The most heart felt song for a friend's death ever. Cheers, RIP. Amen...
