Luke Bryan’s New ‘Georgia Ways’ Collaboration
Luke Bryan is joined by hip-hop star Quavo and singer Teddy Swims on the new collaboration “Georgia Ways.” The song debuted today (12/6) as the educational institution that commissioned it, the University of Georgia, prepares to play in the Southeastern Conference championship football game on Saturday (12/7) against the University of Texas.
Bryan begins his portion of the track by describing how he’s currently enjoying some fly fishing in the Flint River, with the help of his Appaloosa running line – a thin line that joins the fly line backing to the shooting head.
Then, Luke depicts another of his favorite hobbies – shotgunning beers. He then portrays a scene as he gazes out into Georgia’s Southern pine trees. The Country Star also references the fact that you can buy boiled peanuts from roadside stalls in Georgia.
Bryan also gives a shout-out to the Lee County Trojans – often referred to as the Lee Co Trojans – the sports team belonging to Lee County High School in his hometown of Leesburg, Georgia.
The second verse of the song is done by Luke and Quavo. The lyrics are: “Got a Flint River Appaloosa runnin’ line (You know it) / Shotgunnin’ back-to-back Natty Lights (Yeah) / Quail birds covered in the southern pines (Brr) / Peanuts rollin’ down a backroad (Uh) / Trojans kickin’ off in Lee Co (Trojans) / We own Titletown, we love way deep down (I got you) / Peach grown, baby, on a hay bale round / That’s my ’99 Chipper game-day flow, huh.”

Bryan has been doing interviews for his latest album, Mind Of A Country Boy, and in one recent interview, he got pretty candid about his star power and where he is today as opposed to where he was when his career “peaked” a few years ago.
He said, “Every artist hits their peak. I was selling out football stadiums on the first day, [the] three or four years I did it. I know that’s my peak, probably.”
Luke added candidly, “I’m not even gonna say ‘probably.’ I know it is,”
Bryan‘s new album came out in September, and he told us recently that the album is a little more mature with the subject matter than his past albums.
He told us, “I remember being 35, 36 years old at spring break with my spring break albums going, ‘I am 35. It’s probably time to hang this thing up.’ But I’ve always kind of leaned toward youthful fun, you know, just fun party music. I think I’ve kind of been put in that category, which I love and I’ve enjoyed. And when people come to my show, I think they come to have a great time.”
