“Beer Can” by Luke Combs
On “Beer Can”, Luke Combs submits that drinking beer is the most intriguing way he unwinds after a tiring week. He further implies that apart from giving him the perfect relaxation he needs, there is nothing that gives him more energy or makes him feel happier than his beer cans.
Luke begins the song by detailing his weekly schedule of working a 9-5 job on a minimum wage, with only a few days of vacation. He then goes on to say that his resting days will mostly be spent with a lot of cans of good beer. He wakes up from a possible hangover in the afternoon of the next day, meets up with a new girlfriend, and continues with his drinking till Sunday.
Summary
This song, like Luke’s 2019 single, “Beer Never Broke My Heart“, is a song of homage to beer. It signifies the singer’s love and reliability on the beverage to keep him in high spirits when all else fails.
Did Luke Combs write “Beer Can”?
He composed alcoholic drink inspired song with songwriter James McNair. Another writer, who goes by the name of Ray Fulcher, is also a credited writer on this track.
On which album does this song feature?
It is track number 4 on Combs’ famous country/country pop album “This One’s for You”. The track wasn’t a single and was therefore released together with “This One’s for You” on the 2nd of June, 2017.
FYI, here are the certified singles from the aforementioned country album (which was Luke’s debut album):
- “Beautiful Crazy“
- “She Got the Best of Me”
- “One Number Away“
- “When it Rains it Pours“
- “Hurricane”
Shows the degradation of music. This song is tasteless. Thanks for helping to teach our young to drink too much, not remember what you did or who you slept with or how to cope with life without being an alcoholic. Shameful. More proof that in many ways fame makes you flat out STUPID… and you just can’t fix stupid. From one song writer to another, I’ll start buying your music again if and when you ever grow up.
