In a recent appearance on Bobby Bones' podcast "BobbyCast," Luke Bryan shared that he "stupidly" passed on the song "Sand in My Boots," which eventually went on to become a hit for Morgan Wallen.

"Man, I sing about trucks a lot, I sing about tailgates," the country star says he decided. The song ultimately became a hit for Morgan Wallen

I just went through two years of my life where I was like, man, I sing about trucks a lot. I sing about tailgates, and I think I got in my head a little bit,' he said.

Luke is one of the first names you think of when it comes to the “bro-country” movement of the mid-2010s, back when country music was just a non-stop string of songs about drinking beer, driving down a dirt road in a pickup truck and girls in cutoff jeans.

Luke Bryan was a recent guest on the Bobby Bones Show, where he got very candid about his process of choosing songs that he will eventually record and release. The host asked the singer if he was now picking songs that he wouldn’t have cut five years ago because of what the song’s about.
