Hells ya If I won the lotto on my 10 thousand acre ranch in Montana Play all night dude as long as there was whisky I am sure hes in!!! hey ya can only dream till I win the lotto!!
I am 63 years old and it seems every time I turn around I am attending a funeral of a friend or family member that left this earth all too soon. I guess that sort thing is to be expected when you get to be my age. Life is short it seems. But I do know Heaven is forever.
I know exactly what you mean. I'm only 40 and I've buried all of my longtime friends except for one and he and I both share the honorary title of uncle to the children they've left behind. Between baseball games, gymnastics practice and band recitals neither of us have hardly any time to spare these days but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I like seeing a country song exploring a seldom touched upon subject......alcohol. Now that a country singer has FINALLY broached the subject....I would like to see more country artists dip their toe into this uncharted water....
My sister passed away June 26, 2012. She thought her light was not bright enough. I miss her more then life itself some days. She was so beautiful, crazy and young. She didn't know that she is and was so special to us all. This one is for you Patricia Lee. See you on this side or the other.
Lost my older brother yesterday...wasn't there to say good bye...now its hard to sleep. have to work today but this lingers on my mind...only memories remain...keep my family in prayers...always love you Mitch...
I lost my brother last july and i immediately hung up the phone when I got the news. This song means so much to me. All the feelings. All the laughs. All the hugs. All the cheers. So to you my brother, I love and miss you. cheers!
His a Rare Breed Indeed. It is funny how all the Good Ones Go. My Soulmate passed 21 yrs. ago. I'm still lost without him here. Chris n him are a lotta like, from looks and "SoulShine" to their whisky & beer. Drink a Beer , was EXACTLY, word for word, what I had done & felt, except I sat right beside Gregory & shared our last Beer together !!! Till we're together again, my dear!! ^ . . ^
i prefer rock music of all kinds over any other music ESPECIALLY COUNTRY and this song put me to tears. its definitely on my playlist. good job chris 🖒🏻
Just lost my father a 82nd airborne Grenada vet this morning he lost his battle to lung cancer....hardest thing ive ever been thru in my life at only 27yrs old. I listened to this song after and bald like a baby beside his body. I love you dad. Charles steven Westover
I lost my Dad this past March. Right before I turned 30. I feel you, too young for this. I just know they are resting in heaven! Prayers for you and your family!
Lost my dad to Lung Cancer 10 years ago and this was the song we played at his services. I don't cry much, but I do whenever this song is played. Dad was one of those "Salt of the Earth" people who EVERYONE connected with. I miss you dad and only hope that I live up to your standards as a father.
When our dog died, we asked his/our trainer how to deal with it and their answer was to sit alongside where he was buried and have a beer. We did, and this song came on the radio.Bittersweet.
For all of those hating on Luke Bryan, here is what Chris Stapleton has to say about Luke's recording. Stapleton says. “When Luke took it on as a song that he wanted to perform, that’s when it got legs and got life, because of some of his family history and some losses he’s had…I have to credit Luke, it was a good pairing of an artist and a song. Sometimes that’s when the magic happens: when the right song gets with the right artist. That was one of those times.”
A random Tuesday night, 12:58 AM ... cruising UA-cam before calling it a day (as I very often do ...). This is where the cruising led, to the end of today's "pier". My opinion, this is probably the most poignant song of all time. I plan on playing this at my wife's funeral if she dies before me 'cause we've spent a multitude of unforgettable evenings on one lake or another in our boat watching the sunset disappear (more often than not with some form of alcohol involved ...). Thank you Chris for capturing the essence of shared memories & experiences with someone you care about.
Some one out there loves you Blackguard...Hang in there. I will pray fro you.. I know depression... I have fought t it since I was 2 years old. I have a chronic condition that will steal my life away eventually. But, for now, I am strong and will hold on with all I have. This condition will not take me out... Love from Texas!!!
This song kills me,(😢😢)it always reminds me of my Grandpa,he passed 7 yrs ago due to health complications.That man taught me so much ,I would work with him in the summer as a teen.He taught me a trade( construction),and he taught me how to be a man.He taught me how to enjoy simple things like gardening, going for along drive on old back roads.Or just drinking a ice cold beer after working all day in the hot sun,he would say "If you work like a grown man then you should be allowed to drink like one too"He taught me self respect,honesty,and so much about life .He was a great friend ,and a awesome down to earth man.He wasnt my blood grandpa(I have never meet my blood one),and he didnt have to love me like he did ,BUT, he did!!Best grandfather a boy could ever have.I love and miss you Pappa Wes,I know your with God and Jesus enjoying what you deserve .
Did we have the same grandpa?? I played this on repeat after my grandpa passed. He was my best friend. We were inseparable. Thank you for this comment 💔💙
My grandpa was my hero and I'm 71 but I would drive the tractor while he fed the hay baler. Loved that man to pieces but he died at 83 while I was in the hospital. Can't help but think grief may have caused his stroke that killed him. He learned I would never walk again. Love you my sweet Dad. Hope to see you in heaven.
Just lost my dad from cancer and this is the best version to listen too he was a beer drinker I’ve seen you a few times in concert my dad played for Willie and wrote for zztop and Ray price if you could write me back itll be awesome my uncle islights guy for granger smith or was and a lot others in texas
In 1964, 2 boys from Bettendorf Iowa met down at the Mississippi River. They made themselves a rope swing under the span of the I-74 Bridge. Who would know that friendship would last for over 53 years. On Saturday, Oct 21 my husband's childhood friend was cleaning his gutters and fell off his roof. He died instantly. We just saw Chris on Oct. 5 at the Tax Slayer Center in Moline, IL. Ironically, the Slayer is directly across the river from where the old rope swing used to be. At the time, my husband could not relate to this song... he sure can now.
All I can do is sit here and play this song on repeat. Got one beer left in the fridge, a job ahead of me roofing, and the memories of my brother. Miss him everyday and I'm truly blessed to have this country music as my outlet. Thanks Chris
This song describes about 99% of US who have lost a special person, partner, or brother ETC. I think of my younger Brother as we used to play this exact song sitting right here in my garage.... drinking beer!!! So Here is to my Brother: Chief Warrant Officer 3 (ret) Ian Patrick McKay Born 12/12/71 passed on 01/31/17 he left behind a wife and three children. May the wind forever be at your back and the Star's on your face . Miss You Man !
When I got the news today I didn't know what to say. So I just hung up the phone. I took a walk to clear my head, This is where the walking lead Can't believe you're really gone Don't feel like going home So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier Watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer Funny how the good ones go Too soon, but the good lord knows The reasons why i guess Sometimes the greater plan is kinda hard to understand Right now it don't make sense I can't make it all make sense So I'm gonna sit right here On the edge of this pier Watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer So long my friend, until we meet again I'll remember you And all the times we used to Sit right here on the edge of this pier Watch the sunset disappear And drink a beer Drink a beer, drink a beer
this song wether sung by Luke or Chris makes me remember my dad...he was such a light in my life and when we lost him in 2011 it completely changed me. I miss him every single day but this song lets me remember that i will see him again.
I only became aware of Chris Stapleton about a year ago, now I listen to him everyday. Cannot believe this man is more well-known in the mainstream, he is absolutely bloody fantastic, I definitely have a crush on him.
3-18-19 makes 1585 days and it's not one damn bit easier. I've cried at least once a day since 11-14-14. I never thought it possible to miss someone like this. Mark, brother I see you every day in my little girl, oh I wish she'd know you. She acts just like you. I know you are looking over her. I'm no longer mad at you or God, I'm trying to be thankful for the time I had with you instead of loathing the time without you. Till I see you again I'll be on peir. Love you man. Rest easy brother.
Lost my baby brother 1 1/2 years ago at 37 yrs of age. Taken way too early as he left behind a wife and 2 little girls. I play acoustic and this is my remembrance song in his honour! Thanks to Luke and Chris for this fantastic song!
Lost a friend of mine and my older sister’s. His birthday is coming up soon and I can’t even imagine what kind of hell she’ll go through knowing her baby brother won’t be there..he was taken away way too soon, only 15. He died last year, August 11th.
I love you Pawpaw I will always love you and always remember you you were there when my father died and helped me grow into the man I am today I literally heard this and bust that into tears because I did just hang up the phone on my brother when he told me our pawpaw passed away...
Got to wake up for work in 4 hours... Sometimes you just need to sacrifice sleep for some spiritual enrichment. Tomorrow is gonna be a rough one... sixer is looking a little light right now.
Absolutely love ❤️ Chris Stapletons Country Bluezzy sound,good ole country music 🎶,both guys were good in their own way of singing,,Chris is real Country and Luke is pop country,they both have millions of fans,congrats to u both for an incredible performance
Losing husband in 94 , Left raising our three kids alone was hardest thing I thought id ever encounter .. then 2011 I lost my daughter ... She now is buried nearest him ... This song says so much for me .. I am not a drinker at All ..but they liked beer ..so each year I go to this place I bring they're favorite beer and I drink a beer !! Then place a rose in can an PLAY this song for them ... It's tuffer than most will ever know .. but this song heals as the can slowly drifts down the river ...
This song reminds me of my great grandfather and uncle. I only saw my great grandfather a few times because he lives 2 hrs away, my uncle on the other hand taught me so much about cat fishing and about our marina when he and my dad and the other brothers built it. My dad has endless stories about him and uncle buds goin fishin together and it makes me tear up every time.
His version. was played at my Sister's funeral. she passed away this past mothers day. she was the one that introduced his music, & that awesome voice to me.
when I first heard this song this got me crying as three years ago I lost a good friend of mine and I was thinking of him when I was listening to this and drinking a beer
ray rambo this is my tribute song to my best friend Johny Phillips as well. Raise them glasses high brother. I cry him a river twice a year. All the tuffest men I know have wiped a tear from their eyes. We have a tradition here of continuing his memories as we kick sawdust around in my old shabby workshop and fellowship and laugh and cry... sing loud and get silly, just like we did when he'd come to visit... we made his last chair he sat in (one that he never broke to pieces lol) a memorial with his favorite sayings and his birth and death dates. It says reserved. Just like the place he holds in our hearts. I can never sell this place now. This is home. They live on brother... so must we. God bless.
this song hits me where it hurts. my dad's been my best friend my whole life and hes been fighting sicknesses since before he gave me my life. last night he was in the E.R and is now losing his sight and might've had a stroke. I'm torn inside. this song is a scary reality that I don't like to think about but I listen because of the perspective. #GodBlessMyOldMan
I lost my pup a few days ago and heard this song(driving to work yesterday) how meaningful and accurate the words are.. I had to pull over and I just broke down.. miss you Packer.
To my life long friend matt miss you brother you fought cancer and still kept your family first love you and miss you everyday...cleon you left way to early you still had so much to give this world i would wake up and thank god for the two friends,brothers he gave me and now its just loneliness and emptiness
Stapleton is one of the few mainstream artists that hasn’t succumbed to the terrible country-pop that’s dominated the “country” charts for the past decade or so
My older brother passed away in his sleep last night and it is by far one of the most saddest days of my life right now. I will always miss and love you brother! R.I.P Uriah love u brother.
"Drink a Beer" is a song written by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton and recorded by American country music artist Luke Bryan. It was released in November 2013 as the third single from his fourth studio album, Crash My Party, and became his seventh number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in February 2014. Bryan has described "Drink a Beer" as "the coolest sad song ever" and notes he connects with the story after having lost both of his siblings.
He could sing happy birthday and still make a grown man cry.
Imagine sitting next to a bonfire with your buddies and Chris playing guitar all night long... Man what a night that would be.
agree
I'd love to be there!!
would stay all night long
Hells ya If I won the lotto on my 10 thousand acre ranch in Montana Play all night dude as long as there was whisky I am sure hes in!!! hey ya can only dream till I win the lotto!!
Silas_Merritt hell yeah
Has anyone noticed that Chris sings every song better than other artists? He’s a true genius
Well, he wrote this song.
@@johntherevelator2020 ah didn’t know that
@@mrphill8028 I didn't either, until I read the comments a while back, l.o.l.
fuk yeah!!!
It's also because he doesn't use autotune. He's actually good enough to be where he is. Most of the others aren't.
My mom & I sat on a pier and sang sitin on the dock of the bay 1 week before she stepped into heaven. This song ! Oh my! Enough said.
Chris Stapleton answers George Jones question Who's going to fill their Shoes. He's doing it
Damn right! Tyler Childers too
Dont forget people like Sturgill Simpson that keep the old sound of country alive.
And even luke combs
No Alan Jackson Answers his question
He’s great but idk about that
From the depth of his lyrics there is a psychic pain that most will never know.
For all you "Country Fans" Chris actually wrote this song
I always thought it was Luke Bryan lol
no shit..
I don't think Luke Bryan has ever written a song....
Jason S who's wrong?
not u Aaron, some of the replies from your post. I know Chris wrote this
Can I come and drink a beer? Beautiful song🤗♥️
true country. no fake bullshit or skinny jeans, just pure raw country. thank you Chris Stapleton for keeping it real.
This song means someone different to each of us. Here's a beer to all who have lost a beautiful soul..way too soon. I Love Daddy. ❤
I am 63 years old and it seems every time I turn around I am attending a funeral of a friend or family member that left this earth all too soon. I guess that sort thing is to be expected when you get to be my age. Life is short it seems. But I do know Heaven is forever.
I know exactly what you mean. I'm only 40 and I've buried all of my longtime friends except for one and he and I both share the honorary title of uncle to the children they've left behind. Between baseball games, gymnastics practice and band recitals neither of us have hardly any time to spare these days but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm also 63 lost a lot of my buddies over past 10 years fond memories sad
I just turned 63 and I know the feeling . Seems like everyday I get a call
Damn ya'll Im 45, & this ain't nothing to look forward to.... :(
I'm 56 and I just lost my second sister. Death is apart of life. I have a big family and I'm thankful for everyone of them. Jesus is coming!
Just lost a dear friend yesterday. I still can't believe it. I love you Ethan!
I knew that punk Luke Bryan couldn't have wrote this song
even belgium loves you re country voice !!!!
This is my humble opinion only but he is the picture of pure country music, this man should be beyond superstar status. He is true country
ABSOLUTELY!!
This opinion is actually FACT… sorry to break it to you friend…
Not only did he write this great song but he also plays the hell out of it to
Man he killed this! This should've been on his album.
i am older than Chris Stapleton and yet he reminds me so much of my father......rip dad
Friends, family, beer, and this song. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
all there is or in my case what's left
Amen to that
I like seeing a country song exploring a seldom touched upon subject......alcohol. Now that a country singer has FINALLY broached the subject....I would like to see more country artists dip their toe into this uncharted water....
My sister passed away June 26, 2012. She thought her light was not bright enough. I miss her more then life itself some days. She was so beautiful, crazy and young. She didn't know that she is and was so special to us all. This one is for you Patricia Lee. See you on this side or the other.
May she live on in your memories.
Lost my older brother yesterday...wasn't there to say good bye...now its hard to sleep. have to work today but this lingers on my mind...only memories remain...keep my family in prayers...always love you Mitch...
I played this song for my best friend at his wake. He requested it in his will. Thank you Chris for writing such a beautiful song.
He's awesome
The most heart felt song for a friend's death ever. Cheers, RIP. Amen...
I dedicate this to my sister who died in my arm 11-12-12...i miss her more each day.. Love u baby girl.. Until we meet again.
Lost my dad 10 years ago.. I’m 20 now and everyday I think about his face and how much I miss him. This one is for you dad I love you

Man I miss my to brother!!! I just always think back to his last word”till next time” which is tattooed on my forearm!!!

Those that dislike this song, have never had their heart ripped out from a death of a loved one....this song makes it almost bareable
I dedicate this to my brother Adam. Keep resting in peace bro. I love you. I'll meet you there with a bottle of Maker's.
I listened to this song on repeat after my one of my bestfriends passed away from cancer this song helped me through it all
Chris Stapleton is the best thing to happen in a very long time time.....AMAZING!!!
smliesofpity your absolutely right👍
Fact.
Best Southern voice, writer, and performer in 50 years.
Exactly!!!
His a Rare Breed Indeed. It is funny how all the Good Ones Go. My Soulmate passed 21 yrs. ago. I'm still lost without him here.

Dedicating this song to my mom who lost her battle with cancer. I love you mom, rest in peace.

Every time I hear this I think of my Pop, my pier is the front porch. Great song.

Hey man…. My dad died in 2018 and his best friend played an acoustic guitar and sang this song at his funeral. It makes me cry every time I hear it

Chris Stapleton love your songs. It's been a long time since a blues/country singer I could play over and over your blues reminded me of the greats.
i lost my best friend today i had known him for years i never got to say goodbye😢😢
Lost a best friend 2 days ago to a drunk driver. Only 21 years old. This song is getting me through it. Only Chris's version though
My best friend died 6 years ago. This song sums it up for me. I miss you every day, Chuck.

OH how my heart aches, but is happy too, when I hear this song. My baby brother, Donnie. Man I miss you.
Love this song.

Always amazes me to hear Chris sing a song he wrote, and do it better than who he wrote it for
Think of my brother every time I hear this song man miss you buddy wish you was still with us brotha
In 1964, 2 boys from Bettendorf Iowa met down at the Mississippi River. They made themselves a rope swing under the span of the I-74 Bridge. Who would know that friendship would last for over 53 years. On Saturday, Oct 21 my husband's childhood friend was cleaning his gutters and fell off his roof. He died instantly. We just saw Chris on Oct. 5 at the Tax Slayer Center in Moline, IL. Ironically, the Slayer is directly across the river from where the old rope swing used to be. At the time, my husband could not relate to this song... he sure can now.
Man thats tough
Roof anchor + fall protection gear = life saved
wade wilson not the time or the place
And now theyre building this new bridge and tearing down the old
All I can do is sit here and play this song on repeat. Got one beer left in the fridge, a job ahead of me roofing, and the memories of my brother. Miss him everyday and I'm truly blessed to have this country music as my outlet. Thanks Chris
laying a friend to rest today Gary Lynn Dickson from Seymour Missouri you will be greatly missed and never forgotten brother
I know this is way late, but RIP to your friend and the best of luck to you.

When I got the news today
I didn't know what to say.
So I just hung up the phone.
I took a walk to clear my head,
This is where the walking lead
Can't believe you're really gone
Don't feel like going home
So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
Funny how the good ones go
Too soon, but the good lord knows
The reasons why i guess
Sometimes the greater plan is kinda hard to understand
Right now it don't make sense
I can't make it all make sense
So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
So long my friend, until we meet again
I'll remember you
And all the times we used to
Sit right here on the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer
Drink a beer, drink a beer
"The reasons why, I guess"
thank you

Miss you brother! 30 years today still like it just happen!
3-18-19 makes 1585 days and it's not one damn bit easier. I've cried at least once a day since 11-14-14. I never thought it possible to miss someone like this. Mark, brother I see you every day in my little girl, oh I wish she'd know you. She acts just like you. I know you are looking over her.

Till I see you again I'll be on peir. Love you man. Rest easy brother.

Losing husband in 94 , Left raising our three kids alone was hardest thing I thought id ever encounter .. then 2011 I lost my daughter ... She now is buried nearest him ... This song says so much for me .. I am not a drinker at All ..but they liked beer ..so each year I go to this place I bring they're favorite beer and I drink a beer !! Then place a rose in can an PLAY this song for them ... It's tuffer than most will ever know .. but this song heals as the can slowly drifts down the river ...

It’s not the same, at all.
I say goodbye to my father and my son the same way.
Love thisSong
man this makes me think of my dad. what a badass song.
Forrest Pope Amen, Sir. My Dad passed April 12th, 2016. I'm sorry for yer loss.
This makes me think about my best friend Larry rip man
I’m so sorry for y’all’s losses ❤️😥
This song reminds me of my great grandfather and uncle. I only saw my great grandfather a few times because he lives 2 hrs away, my uncle on the other hand taught me so much about cat fishing and about our marina when he and my dad and the other brothers built it. My dad has endless stories about him and uncle buds goin fishin together and it makes me tear up every time.
What a Damn good singer an old Kentucky boy from paintsville so proud of h him
I love this song so much and to find out Chris actually wrote it, not Luke, makes me love it even more!!!!
I love this :) makes me think of my dad. Rest in peace. I love you
I know the feeling brother I lost my dad 3 years ago and still never got over it
The ones that disliked this song are only fans of a guy that doesn't know what country is
Both artists did a fantastic job, I don't think Luke Bryan ruined it, or " made it better ". He added to it, he sang it his own way and it's amazing.
RIP my dear friend Kevin Bonk. I still can’t believe your gone. Till we meet again.
and drink a beer....Luke sang it good...but this version is best :0
Love this song its real Man even though it tears Me up first heard it right after My Best Friend/Baby Brother passed at 40😪
His version. was played at my Sister's funeral. she passed away this past mothers day. she was the one that introduced his music, & that awesome voice to me.
Here it is Christmas and I got to say goodbye. Rest easy uncle Mike..
when I first heard this song this got me crying as three years ago I lost a good friend of mine and I was thinking of him when I was listening to this and drinking a beer
Same here man. Stay strong. Drinking one too. Raise em upp
ray rambo this is my tribute song to my best friend Johny Phillips as well. Raise them glasses high brother. I cry him a river twice a year. All the tuffest men I know have wiped a tear from their eyes. We have a tradition here of continuing his memories as we kick sawdust around in my old shabby workshop and fellowship and laugh and cry... sing loud and get silly, just like we did when he'd come to visit... we made his last chair he sat in (one that he never broke to pieces lol) a memorial with his favorite sayings and his birth and death dates. It says reserved. Just like the place he holds in our hearts. I can never sell this place now. This is home. They live on brother... so must we. God bless.
I was thinking of sex when I first heard it too.
Just read this and yes tears in my eyes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
mr blonde lost my best friend to
Just learned this wanna be able to sing of this to my grandkids
One of the few COUNTRY artists for my generation. Thanks Chris!! Keep doing what your doing!!
jvfd1730 he’s not really country. Maybe rock/americana, but not country. Sturgill has more country.
Dexter Rutecki Chris Stapleton is as country as it gets.
this song hits me where it hurts. my dad's been my best friend my whole life and hes been fighting sicknesses since before he gave me my life. last night he was in the E.R and is now losing his sight and might've had a stroke. I'm torn inside. this song is a scary reality that I don't like to think about but I listen because of the perspective. #GodBlessMyOldMan
I lost my pup a few days ago and heard this song(driving to work yesterday) how meaningful and accurate the words are.. I had to pull over and I just broke down.. miss you Packer.
To my life long friend matt miss you brother you fought cancer and still kept your family first love you and miss you everyday...cleon you left way to early you still had so much to give this world i would wake up and thank god for the two friends,brothers he gave me and now its just loneliness and emptiness
Can’t get enough of Stapleton!!! Truly talented
Stapleton is one of the few mainstream artists that hasn’t succumbed to the terrible country-pop that’s dominated the “country” charts for the past decade or so
My older brother passed away in his sleep last night and it is by far one of the most saddest days of my life right now. I will always miss and love you brother! R.I.P Uriah love u brother.
Love is the one who does make us ,, feel free to , hold the crown , of a great soul of tears , shed in Joy always and forever ...
yes he really
did Wright this song I was searching Spotify for ages to find Chris's version 😅
"Drink a Beer" is a song written by Jim Beavers and Chris Stapleton and recorded by American country music artist Luke Bryan. It was released in November 2013 as the third single from his fourth studio album, Crash My Party, and became his seventh number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in February 2014. Bryan has described "Drink a Beer" as "the coolest sad song ever" and notes he connects with the story after having lost both of his siblings.
Lost my uncle today he was my best friend and taught me how to fight and I'm gonna miss him
