Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for sharing the music video of Luke Bryan performing "All My Friends Say"

All My Friends Say by Luke Bryan
Lyrics
"I got smoke in my hair
My clothes thrown everywhere
Woke up in my rocking chair
Holding a beer in my hand
Sporting a neon tan
My stereo cranked up
I can't find my truck
How'd I get home from the club?
Ain't got a clue what went down
So I started calling around
And all my friends say
I started shooting doubles
When you walked in
All my friends say
I went a little crazy
Seeing you with him
You know I don't remember a thing
But they say I sure was raising some cane
I was a rock star, party hard
Getting over you, comeback kid
Yeah, I must have did
What all my friends say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I found my billfold
I cried oh, no, no
Good time Charlie got me, now I'm broke
But it was worth acting like a fool
Yeah, girl, I must have really showed you
And all my friends say
I…"

Background on Luke Bryan and this song
"Leesburg, Georgia native Luke Bryan honed his skills in local clubs before moving to Nashville in 2001 to pursue a career in music. He recalled the different jobs he worked in and around Leesburg before heading to the Music City. "At age 12 thru 13, I worked at Rubos IGA Supermarket in Leesburg. I worked during the summers on Monday and Tuesday. I stocked and cleaned up the produce. They paid me under the table… I peeled off all of the brown lettuce. When I was 15, I was a cashier at K-Mart for two months. I worked at K-Mart for two months, and then I reverted back to Rubos because it didn't really make sense for me to drive all the way into Albany and work for K-Mart. The benefits were great though-you'd get an hour-long on the blue light special. So I started back at Rubos, and then I quit Rubos and worked for my Dad-just awful just driving tractors through cotton all day, and spraying pesticides that eventually would turn your hair green. And then at some point, I started playing guitar. And well, after college I went back and worked for my dad and continued to spray and haul fertilizer around. And then I moved to Nashville."
Bryan's first success came as a songwriter, and among his first cuts was the title track of Travis Tritt's 2004 album My Honky Tonk History. In 2007 Billy Currington took Bryan's "Good Directions" to #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
Bryan landed a deal with Capitol Records and his 2007 debut single, "All My Friends Say," peaked at #5 on Hot Country Songs.
Luke Bryan has released an extended play each March since 2009 in coincide with spring break. "When we first signed Luke, he was playing packed college clubs around Georgia and the fans knew the words to every song," UMGN senior VP of marketing Cindy Mabe explained to Billboard magazine. "None of these songs were on the radio. They were just songs he had written, and those fans were always important to the vision we had for Luke. The young college kids taught us that if we wanted to keep them, we'd have to figure a way to keep them engaged, and that was by releasing music targeted toward them faster and more deliberate. That was the birth of the Spring Break tour and EP."
Bryan's fourth album, Crash My Party, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 selling 527,783 copies. It was the biggest sales debut for a country male artist's LP since Tim McGraw's Live Like You Were Dying in 2004.
Luke Bryan was a sickly baby, and his mom often hummed "Rock Of Ages" to him to calm him down. As a result, little Luke could hum the hymn before he could talk.
Leesburg has a population of just below 3,000 people, but has produced other famous sons besides Bryan, such as American Idol winner Phillip Phillips and San Francisco Giants All-Star catcher Buster Posey. All three names are featured on the roadside sign that welcome travelers to the small Georgia town.
Luke Bryan met his wife Caroline Boyer in college at Georgia Southern University. He told Good Housekeeping magazine that her looks blew him away. "It was love at first sight with Caroline - those blue eyes of hers," he said. "I knew that, no matter what, I was going to make my way over to her."
Luke and Caroline got married in December 2006 and have had two sons together, Thomas Boyer and Tatum Christopher.
After Luke Bryan's sister Kelly passed away unexplained in 2007, followed by her husband Ben Lee Cheshire in November 2014, the singer and his wife took in their just turned teenage nephew Tilden (Til).
Luke Bryan was in a college group called Neyami Road. "It was a terrible name for a band, because 95 percent of the time it got pronounced 'Naomi,' like Naomi Judd," he said in a Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Q&A. "We made an album that's horrible. It's [still] living out there, which is scary."
