In December, country music artist Tucker Beathard‘s brother, 22-year-old Clay Beathard, was stabbed to death during a fight at a Nashville bar. Fortunately, the suspected murderer was apprehended after a search and faces trial. More information on the case can be found here.
Besides Tucker, Clay is survived by his father country music songwriter Casey Beathard, mother Susan Beathard, brother San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J., and two sisters, Charly and Tatum.
“I wrote this song right after my brother Clay graduated high school, it was on my heart to write a song about the relationship dynamic between me and my brothers. This song has taken on a lot deeper meaning now that Clay is in Heaven. I know he’s still watching over me. Psalm27:1,” Tucker shared via Twitter.

Tucker Beathard’s “Brother” Lyrics
Billy Badass on school playgrounds
Callin’ me names and pushin’ me around
And his jaw got jacked
I still owe you for that
Momma ’bout cried and daddy saw red
When he found them
Cigarettes under your bed
But I said they were mine
Because you had a date that night
Brother let me hold your trouble
When it gets too heavy
Let me fly when you’re high
Let me sink like a stone
When you’re low
Brother let me say
A little prayer for you
Take a sucker punch for you
I’d do anything for you
Yeah you ain’t alone
Yeah I’ll take on the world with you
We got the same temper
With the same short fuse
Same last name, same Bible tattoo
That I talked you into
Oh man I swear they’re still cool
We both tried to act tough
When you loaded your truck
To chase that dream that broke the band up
I said some things
That you know I didn’t mean
Brother let me hold your trouble
When it gets too heavy
Let me fly when you’re high
Let me sink like a stone
When you’re low
Brother let me say
A little prayer for you
Take a sucker punch for you
I’d do anything for you
Yeah you ain’t alone
Yeah I’ll take on the world with you
Yeah I’ll take on the world with you
Well we ain’t got say
We got enough proof
From the heavenly highs
And the hell we’ve been through
But brother let me hold your trouble
When it gets too heavy
Let me fly when you’re high
Let me sink like a stone
When you’re low
Brother let me say
A little prayer for you
Take a sucker punch for you
I’d do anything for you
Yeah you ain’t alone
Yeah I’ll take on the world with you
Yeah I’ll take on the world with you
Yeah I’ll take on the world with you
