The Luke Bryan song "UP" is pretty damn good..

I'll have to take your word for it. I make a lot of effort to avoid listening to Bro Country, at all costs.

Never use Luke Bryan and “good” in the same sentence. Chances are he didn’t even write the song and his guitar skills are just mediocre at best. He’s a hack.

To be fair, that isn't the song OP was referring to.

Those are the lyrics to "Kick The Dust Up", OP is referring to "Up".

He also has a song called, "Light It Up" and another called "Pick It Up".

Confusing, I know.

He apparently also has a song he recorded called “spring break up”

I guess these are the lyrics:

Up
Early in the morning wakin' that sun
Up
Fillin' that coffee, crankin' that tractor
Up
Prayin' it rains down on the devil's dust
Them rows come poppin'

Up
In the sky, there's a guy
Lookin' down on us
Lookin' up
Our whole life, raised up right
In a town nobody knows
What a way to grow

Up
Rollin' 'round town in a hand me down old pickup
Pullin' in the driveway pickin' that pretty thang
Up
Just layin' low where heaven and a dirt road touch
Holdin' a cold one

Up
In the sky, there's a guy
Lookin' down on us
Lookin' up
Our whole life, raised up right
In a town nobody knows
What a way to grow
Up

Up
On a Sunday pond bank tearin' that crank bait
Up
Livin' for a Friday, runnin' that scoreboard
Up
Keepin' that faith, waitin' on the day He calls us

Up
In the sky, there's a guy
Lookin' down on us
Lookin' up
Our whole life, raised up right
In a town nobody knows
What a way to grow
Up

Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm


Lets compare that to Farmers Blues by Marty Stuart:

Who'll buy my wheat, who'll buy my corn
To feed my babies when their born?
Seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain, that I can use
I work the land, I watched the sky
I talk to God and wonder why
But it's the only life I'd know, these farmer's blues

I see the seasons come and go
Sending rain, fire and snow
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I choose
Sometimes I hang my head and cry
When that evening train goes by
Wish it could take me far away
These farmer's blues

The tractor's old, the fence is down
Put own my suit and go to town
I ask for a loan, and I know well, they might refuse
But back at home, still by my side
The one I love with worried eyes
Waits for me, to love away, these farmer's blues

I see the seasons come and go
Sending rain, fire and snow
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I choose
Sometimes I hang my head and cry
As that evening train goes by
Wish it could take me far away
These farmer's blues

I didnt hear any steel or fiddle in it.
