He was a lineman and I would spend weekends with him in the bucket truck. During those ride-alongs, he would play me songs. I\u2019d watch him get so excited about each song and listen to him tell stories about what he was doing or how much a particular song helped him through a hard time, good time, or a heartbreak. His passion for an artist or a lyric made me want to be and write like the voices I heard coming out of those old bucket truck speakers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Artist:<\/strong> \u201cThe \u2019Drink About That\u2019 video to me is the best example of when a director brings song lyrics to life. I think Ed Pryor (director) did such an amazing job and executed what I was singing perfectly. My hope is that this video can change the mindset of even one person on how much distracting driving can affect or even take a life.
