Here’s something Luke Bryan wishes he could have a do-over on. Bobby Bones asked him if he chooses different songs now that he’s pushing 50. He’ll be 49 in July by the way.
Luke said yes, but it’s not always a good call. He passed on “Sand in My Boots” a few years back, because according to him…he felt like he’d done too many songs about trucks. HARDY co-wrote it, and Morgan Wallen obviously made it a hit in 2021.
He said he passed on it due to the fact it had the word “Chevrolet” in it. The actual lyric is “dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado.” Same difference.
He’d done a string of songs about trucks and tailgates, and people were calling him a “one-trick pony.” So, he wanted to branch out.
He doesn’t regret all the songs about trucks and beer though, because it keyed people in to who he is. He said fans “generally think [his] personality is ‘let’s have some fun.'” And he’s cool with being known for that.
