Luke Bryan Reveals Why He Passed on Recording Morgan Wallen’s ‘Sand in My Boots’


Luke Bryan recently opened up about passing on a chance to record "Sand in My Boots," which became a hit for Morgan Wallen.

Asked by Bones if the song had too much truck imagery in it for Bryan at the time, Bryan said, “I just went through two years of my life where I was like, ‘I sing about trucks a lot, I sing about tailgates.’ I think I got in my head a little bit because I think I had a lot of negativity, socially, on socials, that I was getting pegged as maybe a one trick pony in that lane.” “You’re also a victim of your own success,” Bones noted, to which Bryan responded, “Which happens…I’ll take that any d— day of the week.” In the interview, Bryan would go on to note the pros and cons of building a hit career that features so many light-hearted hit songs such as “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” and “That’s My Kind of Night,” combined with his outgoing personality–though Bryan has also released more somber songs including “Do I,” “Drink a Beer,” and the fan-favorite “We Rode in Trucks.”
