“Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” reunites country music star Chase Rice with longtime collaborators Florida Georgia Line!
Country music star Chase Rice‘s music video for “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” featuring Florida Georgia Line has debuted! Filmed at an old tobacco barn on Rice’s Nashville property with award-winning director TK McKamy, the video illustrates the simple pleasures celebrated in the song’s lyrics among longtime friends.
Written by Rice together with Hunter Phelps, Cale Dodds, and Corey Crowder, the song’s catchy lyrics celebrate the power of slowing down to enjoy meaningful conversation, which has become even more relevant over the past year.
“We actually wrote this song before the pandemic, which is crazy because it’s almost like God was intervening in the song just to say, ‘Hey y’all, get ready. You’re gonna have a lot of time to sit around a fire, drink some beer and hang out with me,’” shared Rice upon the song’s release earlier this year. “It’s a special song in that way because it really is a celebration of what 2020 became for us and a lot of other people — slowing down to enjoy these moments with our loved ones and having deeper, more meaningful conversations with each other.”
Produced by Florida Georgia Line, Rice, and Crowder, the collaboration was a long time coming for Rice and FGL’s Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard who first worked together more than 10 years ago as eager songwriters new to Music City.
Firewood crackle in the fall air
“Red Dirt” playing on a radio
Big Dipper hanging high up there
Breathe in the Backwoods and let it go
I ain’t ever been the church goin’ type
Can’t quote much past 3:16
Even though it’s a Friday night
Church found me
Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer, talkin’ God, amen
Killin’ time, livin’ life with some downhome friends
When the world’s gone crazy, man, it all makes sense
Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer, talkin’ God, amen, amen
Tell em’ boys
(Yeah, baby)
Gotta thank him for a little piece of dirt
Little peace of mind from a cold one
Got a country angel I don’t deserve
The kind that you never let go of
I don’t know what Heaven looks like
No, I don’t think anybody does
If it’s like down here up there tonight
And there’s folks like us
Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer, talkin’ God, Amen (Talkin’ God, amen)
Killin’ time, livin’ life with some downhome friends (With some downhome friends)
When the world’s gone crazy, man, it all makes sense
Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer, talkin’ God, amen, amen (Talkin’ God, amen)
(Talkin’ God, amen)
I don’t know what Heaven looks like
And who the hell does?
If it’s like down here up there tonight
There’s folks like us
Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer, talkin’ God, Amen
Killin’ time, livin’ life with some downhome friends
Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer, talkin’ God, Amen (Talkin’ God, amen)
Killin’ time, livin’ life with some downhome friends (With some downhome friends)
When the world’s gone crazy, man, it all makes sense (Man, it all makes sense)
Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer, talkin’ God, amen, amen (Talkin’ God, amen)
(Sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer) Talkin’ God, amen
(Talkin’ God, amen) We’re sittin’ here, drinkin’ beer
Talkin’ God, amen
