Luke Combs Writes, Shares Song Inspired By Beer-Drinking Fan

Luke Combs has shared a brand new song that he wrote specifically for a fan who tweeted him recently. The newly-married fan, named Billy McKee, tweeted a picture from his wedding over the weekend showing himself surrounded by his eight groomsmen and they're all drinking Miller Lites. McKee is down on one knee with the beer box on his head. He tagged both Combs and Miller Lite in the tweet. On Monday (March 29th), Combs replied with a brand new song called "We Still Drink Beer."

 

Combs replied, "Hell yeah! My kinda folk. Congrats and drink another one for me." Later in the day he tweeted, "One small sip for man, cold cans for all mankind. "We Still Drink Beer," tagging McKee and posting a video of himself with co-writers Dan and Reid Isbell. Combs explained that the three had been together writing for Combs' third album when he discovered McKee's tweet and said he was the inspiration for the song. McKee is even referred to in the song's lyrics as "beer box-headed guy."

 

Combs' latest single, "Forever After All," is a current Top 30 hit at country radio.
