I need to find a country station / Where the DJ’s heart is breakin’ / Playin’ Jones and Merle and Waylon all damn day / I’m so sick of doin’ 90 / Need a road that’s so damn windy / Leads to somewhere no one finds this Chevrolet, he sings in a low drawl.
“‘Southern and Slow’ reflects on simple times,” Bryan shares in a statement. “Those picture-perfect moments like the sun setting behind a water tower, honey dripping off a spoon, well, it doesn’t get much country’er than that. Let’s slow it down southern style because this life seems to be moving faster than ever.”
Check out the track below.
The release of “Southern and Slow” follows Bryan’s current radio single, “But I Got A Beer In My Hand.” That track was also written by Dragstrem and McGill along with Geoff Warburton.

“I knew I wanted a fun up-tempo song everyone could enjoy this summer,” Bryan said in a statement announcing the single. “I can’t wait to start doing it live. It’s gonna be a blast.”
