After announcing the upcoming release of the deluxe edition of his album Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, Luke Bryan has shared one of the songs from the project with fans, releasing “Country Does” on Friday, Feb. 5. The song was written by Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne and is classic Bryan, finding the star praising small-town life.
“Country did as country does / Long as the salt gets licked and corn grows thick and the sun comes up / Country is as country was / Around here, the good old days ain’t far away ’cause you can’t change us,” he sings. “Proud of your family, proud of your name / Proud of the mud running through your veins / They say nothing don’t ever stay the way it was / but country does.”
