The song's lyrics celebrate a laid-back life in a location just north of Texas—likely Oklahoma—where the narrator hangs out with friends, writes songs, and enjoys bonfires under starry skies. The chorus invites listeners to join in, buy a round, and appreciate the local vibe far from Nashville, while rejecting Texas country tropes like songs about the state or George Strait's exes, but expressing nostalgia for Toby Keith. It ends with a repeated toast involving margaritas and beer, emphasizing a personal, non-traditional country style dedicated to the audience.

 The song is a tribute to blue-collar workers, specifically those who work on the sea. It highlights their dedication, skill, and deep connection to their environment. It contrasts their fulfilling, physically demanding work with the "fancy things" of an office job, expressing a sense of pride in their chosen way of life.

Jo Jo's Smile

A late-night country confessional poured out over an empty glass. “Barstool By Myself” follows a man who let his temper and his pride wreck the one love that mattered, and now he’s stuck replaying the fight from a lonely corner of the bar. From the kitchen tiles where the bottle first shattered to the front porch he can’t bring himself to knock on, this song is all regret, whiskey, and the kind of apology that came too late. If you’ve ever wished you could take back the words that burned everything down, this one’s for you.

Barstool By Myself

You Just Get It

This modern country Christian Christmas song centers squarely on the message behind the lyrics: a call to step out of the noise, pressure, and distractions of the season and refocus on the true reason for Christmas. Through reflective, story-driven verses, the song contrasts the rush for “perfect things” with the peace that comes from remembering God’s greatest gift. The narrative moves from frustration and emptiness toward clarity and hope, reminding listeners that joy is not found in what we buy or achieve, but in who was given.

The chorus anchors the song in the biblical account of Christ’s birth—fulfilled prophecy, a humble stable, shepherds hearing angels sing—and points directly to the heart of the Gospel: God’s love for the world and His plan of redemption through Jesus. Each return to the chorus reinforces that truth, building conviction and gratitude as the song progresses. By the final verse and outro, the message becomes personal and reflective, inviting the listener to pause, remember, and worship, affirming that Jesus is not only the reason for the season, but the source of lasting peace, mercy, and grace.

Scripture references reflected in the lyrics:

Isaiah 9:6 — “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…”

Luke 2:10–14 — The angels’ proclamation of joy, peace, and the birth of the Savior

John 3:16 — God’s love revealed through the gift of His Son

Micah 5:2 — The promise of the Messiah born in Bethlehem
