As if we weren’t excited enough to have new country stars Hardy and Morgan Wallen coming to Stars & Guitars in November (GO GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!!! Wink, wink!), now the two princes of the new hick country movement have teamed up, and boy is it a lot of fun!
In Volume 1 of Hardy’s new “HARDY HiXTAPE” YouTube collaborations, he and Wallen have put together a fantastic banger of a song, “He Went to Jared”. It’s the perfect anthem for a good ol’ Southern boy who lost out on the girl to a guy who was a little more “refined’ perhaps.
“He went to Ole Miss, I went to work. He pushes paper, I push the dirt,” leads off the chorus, while it wraps up with the ultimate kick in the gut, “He’s tying cans on the bumper of a car. I’m tying one on takin’ it hard. Thinkin’ bout I’m there with a white horse and carriage. Nearly three karats. He went to Jared…I went to the bar.”
The track is the first tease of HARDY’s surprise HIXTAPE VOL. 1 scheduled for release on September 13.
Check out the video below. Here’s hoping they’ll be performing this track together at Stars & Guitars in Fayetteville on November 18! And again, head to the Crown Complex TODAY to get your $25 tickets for the show starring Chris Janson, and featuring Kip Moore, Lauren Alaina, Wallen, HARDY and Russell Dickerson.

He Went to Jared Lyrics:
I STILL GOT A SHOEBOX FULL OF MONEY
SITTIN’ AT THE TOP OF MY CLOSET
FROM WORKIN’ LIKE A DOG
GOT A CHICKEN SCRATCH NOTEPAD
OF WHAT I WOULD’VE SAID ONCE I BOUGHT IT
TILL SHE CALLED IT OFF
NOW SHE’S PICKING OUT MENUS AND VENUES
AND DJS AND HIS CAKE AND HER CAKE
WHERE THE HONEYMOON GONNA BE
WITH A NEW DUDE WITH BUKOOS OF OLD CASH
I SWEAR THAT’S THE FURTHEST DAMN THING FROM ME
HE WENT TO OLE MISS I WENT TO WORK
HE PUSHES PAPER I PUSH THE DIRT
HE’S GOT THAT CLEAN CUT DRIVIN’ IN A CLEAN TRUCK
I’M JUST SITTIN’ HERE WITH A BEER AND MY JEANS TUCKED
HE’S TYING CANS ON THE BUMPER OF A CAR
I’M TYING ONE ON TAKIN’ IT HARD
THINKIN’ BOUT I’M THERE WITH A WHITE HORSE AND CARRIAGE
NEARLY THREE KARATS
HE WENT TO JARED I WENT TO THE BAR
I GOT MY OWN CEREMONY GOING ON RIGHT HERE IN THE NEON
WITH MY BEST MAN JACK
IT’LL BE A METER ON A DASH
SMELLIN’ BAD YELLA CAB TAKIN’ ME HOME
HE’LL BE IN A CADILLAC
ON HIS RIDE TO THE AIRLINE, SAINT LUCIA
NEXT TO THE GIRL I SHOULD STILL BE WITH
HE WENT TO OLE MISS I WENT TO WORK
HE PUSHES PAPER I PUSH THE DIRT
HE’S GOT THAT CLEAN CUT DRIVIN’ IN A CLEAN TRUCK
I’M JUST SITTIN’ HERE WITH A BEER AND MY JEANS TUCKED
HE’S TYING CANS ON THE BUMPER OF A CAR
I’M TYING ONE ON TAKIN’ IT HARD
THINKIN’ BOUT I’M THERE WITH A WHITE HORSE AND CARRIAGE
NEARLY THREE KARATS
HE WENT TO JARED I WENT TO THE BAR
MAYBE I’M DRUNK
AND IT AIN’T THAT BAD
CAUSE I AIN’T INTO GIRLS
INTO GUYS LIKE THAT
HELL NAH
HE WENT TO OLE MISS I WENT TO WORK
HE PUSHES PAPER I PUSH THE DIRT
HE’S GOT THAT CLEAN CUT DRIVIN’ IN A CLEAN TRUCK
I’M JUST SITTIN’ HERE WITH A BEER AND MY JEANS TUCKED
HE’S TYING CANS ON THE BUMPER OF A CAR
I’M TYING ONE ON TAKIN’ IT HARD
THINKIN’ BOUT I’M THERE WITH A WHITE HORSE AND CARRIAGE
NEARLY THREE KARATS
HE WENT TO JARED I WENT TO THE BAR
