Country Boys

Heat like a hammer, sky’s cuttin’ sideways,  
Crickets yell louder than them interstate highways.  
We’re draggin’ ice and home-cooked pride,  
Where the laughs hit fast and the rules just slide.  
 
Porch ain’t quiet, yard’s full of flash,  
What we call slow might still burn past.  
Ain’t no plan, just heart and fire—  
We’re livin’ wide and ridin’ higher.  

South Bound — where the rhythm runs deep,
Every night’s loud and every soul speaks.
If you feel it, you feel it, you don’t slow it down—
We don’t back up when we’re South Bound! 
 Yeah! South Bound — turn it up and tear it down!

Ain’t no filter, no polished line,  
Just bug-zappin’ truth and a moonshine sign.  
We dance in the headlights, howl in the creek,  
Let the music talk when words get weak.  
 
Songs in the timber, sweat on the glass,  
This kinda fire wasn’t built to pass.  
Simple’s real, and real don’t fade—  
Down here, we mean what we say.  

South Bound — thunder in the tallgrass heat,
Red clay hearts and calloused feet.  
Let it fly, let it rise, let it spin around— 
Raise your life up South Bound!  

We ain’t chasin’ gold, we’re drinkin’ the rain,  
And singin’ like saints with a little bitta stain.  
There’s glory in the mess, and grit in the sound—  
When we shout that name, the whole world pounds.  

“Hey! You Feel That  Fire Comin’?”

South Bound — heart full of gasoline,
Hands in the air like a six-string dream! 
If it’s truth, if it’s loud, if it shakes the ground— 
That’s South Bound! That’s South Bound!  
Yeah! South Bound — raise it high and lay it down.

Guess I'll crack another beer
Think I'll sit right here and stare at the wall
Ain't no use in doing a damn thing
Accept I guess it needs done
Won't amount to much
Just like this song
And staring at the wall

Well I know
I already know
50 years of fighting
50 years of dying I already know
It's like this song
Like staring at the wall

Guess I'll crack another beer
Think I'll sit right here
And write another song
That won't get too far
Like staring at the wall
Three chords and the truth
This one only has two
So I guess it ain't no song
It's like staring at the wall

Well I know
I already know
50 years of fighting
50 years of dying I already know
It's like this song
Like staring at the wall
It's like this song
Like staring at the wall

The three-time ACM “Entertainer of the Year” has bolstered 26 No. One hits, 15 billion streams and more than 20 million albums sold as "he has blended his own recipe and it’s one that has vaulted him to the pinnacle of Country music success,” (Atlanta Journal Constitution). Notably, seven of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified PLATINUM or more and he has the most Top 10 song on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, more than any other artists, since making his chart debut in 2005. He continues to be one of a card-carrying member of Country's elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status as his shows are "filled with the perfect mix of rockin’ anthems and raucous drinkin’ songs," (Herald Extra) Aldean will gear up for the road this summer with his ROCK N’ ROLL COWBOY TOUR as the 34-city trek will launch July 15th in Scranton, PA, with special guests Gabby Barrett, John Morgan and Dee Jay Silver. The multi-Platinum singer has also founded Wolf Moon Bourbon, an 80 proof bourbon that has been distilled from Midwestern grains and aged for four years offering a finish of caramel, oak and spice.
