• The light-hearted title track of Luke Combs' second album gives the listener some insight as to the kind of man he is. The North Carolina native doesn't mince words as he describes himself as "straight shootin', beer drinkin', rule breakin'." He also admits to being a "constant work-in-progress" and a "walking contradiction, far from mint condition." The singer concludes with a warning to the person he's addressing.
