Luke Bryan has released his new single, “Country On.” The tune, written by David Frasier, Styles Haury, Mark Nesler and Mitch Oglesby, is an anthemic tribute to hardworking men and women.

Luke says one of the biggest inspirations behind recording the song is one of the songwriters, Mark Nesler. “One of the biggest inspirations behind the song, ‘Country On,’ is one of the songwriters, a guy named Mark Nesler who sang the demo,” says Luke. “I’ve always loved his voice. He’s just got one of my favorite artist voices, songwriter voices I’ve ever heard, and when I heard him perform ‘Country On,’ and the way he sold it in the demo, to me, it just spoke to me. And all I wanted to do was capture what Mark Nesler was able to capture when he recorded the demo. It spoke to me, and I think it’s gonna speak to a lot of people out there.”

#CountryOn is available now! Hope y’all love it. https://t.co/YZKNqdbt4a pic.twitter.com/Y09KrXa4Fg

Hey, farm boy, keep dropping that plow
Bailing that hay, feeding them cows
From the rooster crow ’til another long day is gone
Country on

Hey, big rig, keep clocking them miles
Pulling that horn, making us smile
Rolling that load down the road all night long
Country on

Hey, cowboy, keep slinging that rope
Eating that dirt, wearing that gold
Break a leg, rodeo, but just don’t break no bones
Country on

Hey, barkeep, how ’bout another round
Keep the neon lit in this crazy town
Just pour a little more
Country on
Country on, yeah, country on

Hey fireman, boys and girls in blue
We could sure use a lot more like you
You come running in anytime anything goes wrong
Country on

Hey soldier, wherever you might be
Hats off to keeping us free
All our thoughts and prayers ’til you get back home
Country on

Hey, hometown, keep throwing that ball
Raise ‘em outside, hang a fish on the wall
They only stay little so long, so love ‘em up strong
Country on

I say hey, hey, USA
We ain’t seen our better days
Hell naw, hey y’all
Country on
Country on

Hey, Nashville, keep bending them strings
Digging for gold, chasing them dreams
Keep on with your songs ’til the whole world’s singing along
Country on

I say hey, hey, USA
We ain’t seen our better days
Hell naw, hey y’all
Country on

Country on and on and on and on and on
Country on and on and on, country on
Keep keeping on and on and on and on and on
Country on and on and on, country on
Yeah, country on
Yeah, country on and on and on, on and on
Country on
