Country music artist Brantley Gilbert is gearing up for the release his The Devil Don’t Sleep album in early 2017 with the debut his new tune “The Weekend.”
“We’re getting ready for the next phase,” stated Gilbert in a release. “There’s new music coming, in a very different way than people expect from us. But one thing we’re not gonna lose is the real life – and some of the real fun you can have – in this music. That’s what I love about this clip: it’s a lot of pieces of who I am.”
“The Weekend” reinforces the real world good time out in the sticks ethos that has defined the “Bottoms Up” artist since he released his first self-financed Modern Day Prodigal Son just out of his teens.
“Boys get older, but not much changes,” he said with a chuckle. “I was raised to work hard, but we also learned to play hard. You know, that’s the deal… When you give it all, you wanna take it back just as hard when you clock out. And if you’re not having fun, you’re not all in with your life, you’re missing the point. That’s why the shows are so intense, and the songs are so all in.”

“The Weekend” Lyrics
Tick tock, I’m on the clock and I’m feeling like
This job’s just 9 to 5’ing my life away
It’s like I’m back in school and I’m in the last class
And I’m passing time until the bell ring
Having visions of summertime
Wait a minute now, that’s just later tonight
Tan legs and tailgating, it’s all up in the moonlight
And by the way, let’s fade it
Live it up for the weekend
Pour it up, have the time of your life
Take a shot for the regrets
Double up and it’s bound to get buck wild
Hey ladies, let your hair down
We know ain’t nobody scared now, hell nah
Just do your thing like it’s spring break
Wake and bake and we’re at it again
We live it up for the weekend
Backwoods looking like Panama City
A bunch of jacked up trucks and bikinis
Got a Yeti full of good ideas
Like I ain’t worried ’bout driving, I’mma stay right here
And I’mma live it up for the weekend
Pour it up, have the time of your life
Take a shot for the regrets
Double up and it’s bound to get buck wild
Hey ladies, let your hair down
We know ain’t nobody scared now, hell nah
Just do your thing like it’s spring break
Wake and bake and we’re at it again
We live it up for the weekend
Somebody said something ’bout church on Sunday, amen
Somebody said something ’bout work on Monday
Shhh, don’t say it again
Live it up for the weekend
Pour it up, have the time of your life
Take a shot for the regrets
Double up and it’s bound to get buck wild
Hey ladies, let your hair down
We know ain’t nobody scared now, hell nah
Just do your thing like it’s spring break
Wake and bake and we’re at it again
We live it up for the weekend
Live it up, live it up for the weekend
Live it up for the weekend
Live it up, live it up for the weekend
Live it up, live it up
It’s the weekend
