Zach Bryan

Purple Gas

Ashburn

A plaintive, quivering country troubadour indebted to the literary side of Red Dirt country -- he wrote a song saluting Evan Felker of the <a href="spotify:artist:1YSA4byX5AL1zoTsSTlB03">Turnpike Troubadours</a>, one of the genre's leading lights of the 2010s -- Zach Bryan began carving out a career for himself while he was still enlisted in the Navy. He recorded his 2019 debut album, DeAnn, during a break in his service, and it, along with videos he posted online, helped him cultivate an audience that crested with the 2020 release of Elisabeth and its accompanying single "Heading South." Bryan capitalized on this burgeoning popularity with American Heartbreak, a sprawling 2022 triple album that marked his major-label debut and mainstream breakthrough: it debuted at number one on Billboard's Country Albums chart. He consolidated his success in 2023 with the eponymously titled Zach Bryan, which featured the hit duet with <a href="spotify:artist:70kkdajctXSbqSMJbQO424">Kacey Musgraves</a> "I Remember Everything." He teased his fifth album with 2024's "Pink Skies."

A native of Oklahoma, spending time in both Oologah and Tulsa, Zach Bryan received his first guitar at the age of 14. Soon he learned how to play, then started to write songs. When he came of age, Bryan enlisted in the Navy, just like his parents before him and his father's father before that. During his spare time in the service, he wrote songs. While on leave, he spent some time relaxing at an Airbnb in Jacksonville, Florida. He and his friends spontaneously decided to record the songs that became his 2019 debut, DeAnn; he named the album after his late mother. 

DeAnn earned positive buzz among Red Dirt aficionados, so Bryan decided to record a second album in the same fashion. Featuring the single "Heading South," the resulting Elisabeth appeared in 2020. The following year saw Bryan release live versions of "Hell or Highwater" and "Condemned," and make his debut at the Grand Ole Opry. "From Austin" appeared in early 2022 as the lead single to his third record, American Heartbreak, a triple album issued through <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Warner+Records%22">Warner Records</a> in May 2022. The release found an audience, debuting at number one on the Billboard Country chart and five on its Top 200. Bryan supported the album with an extensive tour, the final show of which was captured on the LP All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster (Live from Red Rocks). 

In January 2023, Bryan released the single "Dawns," which featured <a href="spotify:artist:4NZvixzsSefsNiIqXn0NDe">Maggie Rogers</a>. The eponymously titled full-length Zach Bryan arrived that August, featuring appearances by <a href="spotify:artist:70kkdajctXSbqSMJbQO424">Kacey Musgraves</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:16oZKvXb6WkQlVAjwo2Wbg">the Lumineers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3oVcF3VdpMuvMvLLyHPT4t">Sierra Ferrell</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6HhV0jtMMK5HYnYgG0xgtz">the War and Treaty</a>. Along with topping the Billboard 200, it hit number one on the Top Country, Folk, and Rock Albums charts. "Pink Skies" appeared in June 2024 as the first single released off his fifth album, The Great American Bar Scene. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

This Is Zach Bryan

Been listening to this guy on youtube for years. Today I had to drive my best friend (my dog) to the vet to say his final goodbye and this song came on the radio. You made it man. You finally made it.   Last song my Frankie boy ever heard.  He always loved just laying out in the sun and basking.  Now everytime I see the sun&#39;s orange hue across the sky I&#39;ll think of my buddy. &quot;But I miss you in the mornings when I see the sun.&quot;

"But I miss you in the mornings when I see the sun."

My 17 year old son just passed away on 02.04.2024 in a tragic kayaking accident and this was one of his favorite songs, he loved all your music! It holds a whole new meaning now. From the bottom of my heart, thanking for making this beautiful song.

Last December was my absolute rock bottom. Exactly 1 year ago was heading home from Durant Oklahoma to Dallas Tx, making my weekly trip to pick up Methamphetamine. This song came on and instantly opened my eyes to how bad my addiction had gotten. Here in just a couple hours I&#39;ll be officially 1 year sober and I&#39;m lucky enough to say I have my wife and daughter here to celebrate with me!

I’m 73 and lost my love at 25.  For all these years and all the songs I’ve heard this one describes my heartache best.  Thank you Zach Bryan.

Being forgotten is not the worst feeling.<br>Being forgotten by someone you can never forget is far more painful.

Being forgotten is not the worst feeling.
Being forgotten by someone you can never forget is far more painful.

I am not a country lover. But, when country gets it right, it creates the most beautiful songs. This song gets it right in so many ways.

My 16 year old son took his life 16 months ago, I can’t help think how much I miss him and want him back when I hear this song. Always brings tears to my eyes.

I lost my entire family in the span of a year. MY brother was murdered, I had to come home and tell Mom and Dad. They died less than a year later 12 days apart. This song hits right.

As I battle with alcoholism, depression and PTSD while I await help from the VA this song hurts but helps. It’s just different when it says “ you’re drinking everything to ease your mind, but when the hell are you gonna ease mine” it reminds me that I have a gorgeous, loving and caring wife that helps me fight through my battles. I have a different appreciation for this song.

I&#39;m a 71 year old woman, and having loved music all my life, and  still listen to current releases. I am moved by these beautiful voices and the song they have created. It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking - thank you

&quot;That small town bar scene<br>Where small vices kill your big dreams&quot;<br><br>To anyone who hasn&#39;t grown up in these small, sub 600 resident, towns, these lyrics are incredibly true. It&#39;s so easy to be the king of a small town. All you have to do is visit us and all we talk about is the good old days. Small accomplishments that we will never stop talking about because we never accomplished much else. Some of the deepest, most intelligent and talented people never find expression in their genius because they are drowning in alcohol in a small town. Zach killed it with this one.

Much respect for including a native actor. We are intrinsic to Oklahoman culture and I&#39;m happy to see it represented.

Can we talk about the artistry that went into making this video? These characters are perfection, I need a sequel!

songs like this where everyone can immediately think of someone when they hear it are why he is such an amazing songwriter

Zach creates a feeling that words can not describe. What he does is undeniably art

This looks like it’s been all cut up from a movie. It’s like it tells a huge story in three and a half minutes. This hits different than anything ive ever seen or heard. Literally found Zach’s work tonight and I’m so glad I did.

I accidentally stumbled upon this song… after 4 years, 6 black eyes. Almost missing a front tooth had to have emergency dental surgery to save it. A week in icu almost loosing my life. I have finally found peace in the violence. Thank you. I loved and he lost. I finally love myself and life again. I hope God let’s me shine  now! 🙏

As a girl from Oklahoma, I loved a man who was like these two men combined. The pull men like that can have on you is almost impossible to explain, but I feel like he got the nostalgic and heartbreaking emotions that go along with it. Combined with the small town, simple life it’s something that’s very hard to let go of. But you can’t fight life and you can’t keep everything that is given to you. I can’t really describe how this song/video makes me feel, but thanks Zach.

My Songs

It'll be fine by dusk light I'm telling you baby,
These things eat at your bones and drive your young mind crazy,
But when you place your head between my collar and jaw,
I don't know much but there's no weight at all,
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't,
'Cause if I say I miss you I know that you won't, 
But I miss you in the mornings when I see the sun,
Something in the orange tells me we're not done, 

To you I'm just a man, to me you're all I am, 
Where the hell am I 'supposed to go? 
I poisoned myself again, 
Something in the orange tells me you're never coming home,
If you leave today I’ll just stare at the way, 
The orange touches all things around, 
The grass trees and dew, how I just hate you,
Please turn those headlights around, 

I need to hear you say you've been waitin' all night,
There’s orange dancing in your eyes from bulb light, 
Your voice only trembles when you try to speak, 
Take me back to us dancing this wood used to creak, 

To you I'm just a man, to me you're all I am, 
Where the hell am I 'supposed to go? 
I poisoned myself again, 
Something in the orange tells me you're never coming home,
If you leave today I’ll just stare at the way, 
The orange touches all things around, 
The grass trees and dew, how I just hate you,
Please turn those headlights around, 

To you I'm just a man, to me you're all I am, 
Where the hell am I 'supposed to go? 
I poisoned myself again, 
Something in the orange tells me you're never coming home,
If you leave today I’ll just stare at the way, 
The orange touches all things around, 
The grass trees and dew, how I just hate you,
Please turn those headlights around, 
Please turn those headlights around.

Zach Bryan - Something In The Orange

Rot gut whiskey’s gonna ease my mind
Beach town rests on the “drying” line
Do I remind you of your daddy in his 88 Ford?
Labrador hanging out the passenger door
The sand from your hair is blowing in my eyes
Blame it on the beach grown men don’t cry

Do you remember that beatdown basement couch
I’d sing you my love songs and you’d tell me about
How your momma ran off and pawned her ring
I remember, I remember everything

A cold shoulder a closing time 
you were begging me to stay till the sun rose
Strange words come on out of a grown man’s mouth when his minds broke
Pictures and passing time you only smile like that when you’re drinking
I wish I didn’t but I do, remember every moment on the nights with you

You’re drinking everything to ease your mind
When in the hell are you gonna ease mine
You’re like concrete feet in the summer heat
It burns like hell when two souls meet 
And you’ll never be the man you always swore
But I’ll remember your singing in that ’88 Ford

A cold shoulder a closing time 
you were begging me to stay till the sun rose
Strange words come on out of a grown man’s mouth when his minds broke
Pictures and passing time you only smile like that when you’re drinking
I wish I didn’t but I do, remember every moment on the nights with you

Rot gut whiskey gonna ease my mind
Beach town rests on the “drying” line 
Do I remind you of your daddy in my’88 Ford
Labrador hanging out the passenger door

Zach Bryan - Sun to Me

This song is for Maggie. 

Someday, I’ll make it there, I swear, to that place that haunts my dreams at night,
Singing heavenly highway hymns all the way up to that beautiful old countryside,
Someday, I’ll find the words to explain all the good times that echo through my mind,
Your grin in the mornings, a warm southern sun, or seeing double when those chemicals align
Just some kids who needed love, using laughter as their drug, doing their best to tow that hard line,
Someday, I will lie under blue skies, in a hay field that holds me like home,
I’ll ask forgiveness with God as my witness for straying so far on my own,

Today, I will hold my head up high,
Knowing some day, comes one day at a time,
Today, there’s a sun setting soon as suppers warm,
Today, I’ve got someday on my mind,

Someday, I will call up my old friends and we’ll catch up with too many beers,
Pull an all-nighter, sitting around fire, for the first time in so many years,

Someday,

Someday, I will come to my senses, stop sitting on fences in fear,
And I will realize, after all of this time that some day was always just right here,

Today, I will hold my head up high, knowing some day has been here the whole damn time, 
There’s a sun set setting, I ain’t forgetting, the blood that made my heart warm,
Today, I found what I was searching for,

Someday, I will send you a postcard from the place that I’m smiling tonight,
I sang heavenly highway hymns all the way up to this beautiful warm country side.

Zach Bryan - Someday On My Mind

You are mine again, every mistake that you made,
All the people that you saved, took a little piece of you with them

You are mine again, and I’m so damn glad you’re here, 
Talking sober, calm and clear like you couldn’t back then

How many sad songs it take, to get your stubborn ass awake,
What finally got you rising from your bed,

Was it the sunset on her cheeks, leading down to her delicate collarbones,
Or the judgement of your mind when you’re alone

Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been,
I’ve been struggling to get back to you

If you fight all night, I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try, 
To get past the things that you’ve been through,
No one plays the fool quite like you

Are those tires you got still turning,
Is that spirit you had still burning,
Do you still talk that shit the way you did before

And all the women and the wages and the wars that I’ve been waging,
I just don’t feel like fighting anymore

Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been,
I’ve been struggling to get back to you

If you fight all night, I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try, 
It ain’t your fault what you’ve been through
No one plays it cool quite the way you do

Mine again, so head back home and be who you know you can
Mine again, so don’t be so cruel and play God with all his plans

Mine again, my fondest friend, where the hell you been
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
If you fight all night, I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
It’s not your fault what you’ve been through 
No one plays it cool quite like you

Cause I am mine again, with every mistake that I made, 
And I ain’t ashamed to say who the hell I am
Cause I am mine again, and I’m so damn glad I’m here,
Talking strong, sober and clear, like I couldn’t back then

There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue, I’m finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you, 
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure, 
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?

Remember Northwest Mountains that were snow-capped in June?
You were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon,
But babe I’ve got to heal myself, from the things I’ve never felt,
Repression is my heaven but I’d rather go through hell, 

It’s about time that I left Austin, 
About time you settled down,
With a man who doesn’t move as quick, 
As the trains rolling through town,
It’s about time that I face, 
The hard times I’ve let go, 
If love is just an ocean I would drown before I float,

Do you remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town, 
When I gave you all I had but it still let you down, 
Everyone I’ve ever loved, has either left or died, 
Wish I was born with concrete shoes but I’m leaving tonight,

It’s about time that I left Austin, 
About time you settled down,
With a man who doesn’t move as quick, 
As the trains rolling through town,
It’s about time that I face, 
The hard times I’ve let go, 
If love is just an ocean I would drown before I float,

Flo—-at, 
Flo—-at,

There is concrete below me and a sky above so blue, 
People ruin people, I don’t want to ruin you, 
I am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure, 
How much can a southern girl honestly endure?

And I’m finally gone from Austin, 
You finally settled down,
With a man who didn’t move as quick, 
As the trains roll through town,
I finally had to face,
The hard times I’ve let go, 
If loving yous an ocean I’d of drowned so you could float,

Alright man I’m ready when y’all are
This is your song mike let’s do it
Here we go, 1, 2, 3, eh

So take me down a road thats a little bit windy
To a place they still put sugar in their iced tea
Where the women are fine and the love is fair
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere

Hey driver, pull on over I’m in a fight with god
This Carolina shoulder seems the place I’m getting off
Daddy always told me, never make a home on the road
While your lady’s sneaking out and the kids are growing old

Hey driver, I’ve been riding this lonely way too long
All the love I have worth giving is all spent on my songs
Hey driver, the boys are gambling with more than just their cards
With their bottles and their drugs and their bibles and their hearts

So take me down a road thats a little bit windy
To a place they still put sugar in their iced tea
Where the women are fine and the love is fair
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere

Hey driver, I’ve been feeling like there’s no point at all
The klonopin ain’t kicked in and I missed my sisters call
Hey driver I’m so tired of the ways of this old world
Just drive until the tires melt we’ll come back when it’s healed

So take me down a road thats a little bit windy
To a place they still put sugar in their iced tea
Where the women are fine and the love is fair
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere
So take me down a road thats a little bit windy
To a place they still put sugar in their iced tea
Where the women are fine and the love is fair
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere
Hey driver you can drop me off anywhere

Highway boys on the road tonight, got a, gig out at the Ryman, 
Finally learned the hard way, that all good things take time friend,
I heard they’ll pay a lost soul, to sing his songs true,
That make a southern boy cry, or turn a northeast man confused,

And I awoke with a fever, sweating oceans again,
There’s mirrors in hotel rooms but I do not recognize them,
Maybe it’s the feeling that I, get in my sleep,
That all the memories in my mind, are only mine to keep, 

I wanna’ ride that K-10 to way back when,
Sleep next to the river hear it rushing again,
Get my no good soul back to where it belo—ngs,
And do my best to keep truth in songs,
Do my best to keep truth in songs,

And all of my old friends miss, having me around, but, highways work both ways and I can’t stand the liars in town, 
If you need me you can find me, slightly out of control, 
Cause’ Highway boys don’t rest and don’t hang hats til’ their home,
Highway boys on the road tonight, got a, gig out at the Ryman, 
They finally found out the hard way that this sound I got is mine man,

So if you need me ca—ll, if you’re in love, fall, just know that highway boys don’t stick around at all

I wanna’ ride that K-10 to way back when,
Sleep next to the river hear it rushing again,
Get my no good soul back to where it belo—ngs,
And do my best to keep truth in songs,
Do my best to keep truth in songs,

Highway boys on the road tonight, got a gig out at the Ryman, 
They finally found out the hard way that this sound I got is mine man,

East Side of Sorrow
18 years old full of hate, they shipped me off in a motorcade
They said boy you’re going to fight a war
You don’t even know what you’re fighting for
I lost friends in the august heat
At night it was god I’d always meet
I said lord won’t you bring me home
I’ve got women in the west I wanna hold

And I lost you in a waiting room after sleeping there for a week or two
Doctor said he did all he could you were the last thing I had that was good
So I walked miles on the tulsa streets
Light started beaming in from the east 
6am and fucked up again asking god where the hell he’d been

He said the sun’s going to rise tomorrow 
Somewhere on the east side of sorrow
You better pack your bags west stick out your chest and then hit the road
The suns going to rise tomorrow somewhere on the east side of sorrow
Don’t give it a reason to follow
 let it be and then let it go
Let it be and then let it go

Heard your brother lost his mind in the city last fall
Was it his blood or his conscious or the alcohol
Did the navy do him well or did he wind up sick
Like every other brave boy from these run down sticks
Do you ever get tired of singing songs 
like all your pain is just another fucking sing along
If you ever get the time come on home
I heard turnpikes back together and they’re writing songs

He said the sun’s going to rise tomorrow 
Somewhere on the east side of sorrow
You better pack your bags west stick out your chest and then hit the road
the sun’s going to rise tomorrow 
Somewhere on the east side of sorrow
Don’t give it a reason to follow
Let it be then let it go
Let it be then let it go

I’ve got plates for Purple Gas
Bout the only break I catch 
But I am not the kind of man 
To blame the dealer on a losing hand 

Have a lone star in my eye
The darker the sky 
The brighter it shines 
Pumpjack cheques and baler twine 
A ton of grit or maybe it’s spite 

And if I weren’t a flatland boy 
I’d say I have a hill 
A hill that I will die upon 
if the climb don’t get me killed 
If there were such heights around here 
for a guy to lay his pride 
Maybe I’d rest before I died 
if I weren’t a flatland boy 
If I weren’t a flatland boy 

I hammer down, hair straight back 
The World blurs past, tell me hows it that
My horizon line’s static 
I guess at least it’s a sure bet 

Was taught to not throw the first fist 
But if you take a hit-Finish that 
son-of-a-bitch 
In a life having the upper hand’s a myth 
Your only fighting chance is 
too stubborn to quit 

And if I weren’t a flatland boy 
I’d say I have a hill 
A hill that I will die upon 
if the climb don’t get me killed 
If there were such heights around here 
for a guy to lay his pride 
Maybe I’d rest before I died 
if I weren’t a flatland boy 
If I weren’t a flatland boy 

Retired rail ties, point-nine wire, 
Neighbor kid on the fencin’ pliers 
Fargo that turns over fine 
At forty-below if you cuss it right 

A sly thumb of Rye sometimes 
Keep a bottle hid with the Bio-Mycin 
You can dull the edge, you can look ahead 
But you can’t get there, 
It goes on forever 
Oh it just goes on forever 
You keep your head down, it goes on forever 

But I’ve got plates for Purple Gas

The kids are in town for a funeral
So pack the car and dry your eyes
I know they got plenty of young blood left in em
And plenty nights under pink skies
You taught em to enjoy

So clean the house
Clear the drawers
Mop the floors
Stand tall
Like no ones ever been here
Before or at all
And don’t you mention all the inches
That are scraped on the door frame
We all know you tip toed up to 4’1 back in ’08

If you could see em now
You’d be proud
But you’d think they’s yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
I bet god heard you coming

The kids are in town for a funeral
And the grass all smells the same as the day you broke your arm swinging
I’m that kid out on the river
You bailed him out
Never said a thing about Jesus or the way he’s living

If you could see em now
You’d be proud
But you’d think they’s yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
I bet god heard you coming

If you could see em now
You’d be proud
But you’d think they’s yuppies
Your funeral was beautiful
I bet god heard you coming

The kids are in town for a funeral
So pack the car and dry your eyes
I know they got plenty young blood left in em
And plenty nights under pink skies
You taught em to enjoy

You took a train to the south side of Boston,
You showed me where your old man stayed,
Took 28 years of blood I was lost in,
To feel loved on my own birthday,
I always felt like I’s in between something,
Like home and somewhere far away,
But tonight on the west side in a bar out in Brooklyn,
I saw tears outline your face,

How lucky are we?
It’s been a hell of a week, but we’re all grown now,
There’s smoke seeping out, of your bloody teeth,
But you’re home somehow,

I’ll be upstairs with the guitar I’s given,
When I was barley fourteen,
When did McGlinchey’s get so damn crowded,
And why are the crowds so damn green?
I lost my mind on the streets of the city,
Maybe I lost all hope too,
Took 28 years of blood pumping through me,
To get to this evening with you,

How lucky are we?
It’s been a hell of a week, but we’re all grown now,
There’s smoke seeping out, of your bloody teeth,
But you’re home somehow,

How lucky are we?
It’s been a hell of a week, but we’re all grown now,
There’s smoke seeping out, of your bloody teeth,
But you’re home somehow

When you wake in the morning and I’m not by your side,
just know that I’m halfway to Dallas,
I’m stoned out my mind, I’m half buzzed ‘bout full time since you left me to die here last August,
When you make it to Nashville, you can tell by one hat tilt, that that shit just ain’t my scene,
I like out of tune guitars, taking jokes too far and my bartenders extra damn mean, 

So roll where you’re rolling,
I’ll be praying you’re fine,
Wherever you’re going,
Stay walking that line,
‘Cause they’ll eat and they’ll spit ya’,
But you’re not their fool,
They don’t know ya’ like ida,
Back home on barstools,

I’m out on the road, when I’m going I go,
I make music with all of my friends,
I miss your silhouette, catching coastal sunsets,
And the sound of that rusty door hinge,
But that days bound to come when I finish this run,
And I’m rolling right into your arms,
And that bullshit you see on the late night TV
is a long way from our beating hearts, 

So roll where you’re rolling,
I’ll be praying you’re fine,
Go where you’re going,
Stay walking that line,
‘Cause they’ll eat and they’ll spit ya’,
But you ain’t their fool,
They don’t know ya’ like ida,
Back home on barstools,

So roll where you’re rolling,
I’ll be praying you’re fine,
Wherever you’re going,
Stay walking that line,
‘Cause they’ll eat and they’ll spit ya’,
But you ain’t their fool,
They don’t know ya’ like ida,
Back home on barstools

Zach Bryan - Like Ida

I saw you in my dreams last night, 
You had a vandal grin framed by a suit and tie,
You were saying you were out of here, 
With you breath framed by cocaine and beer,

Who’d of thought, she would ruin you,
Leave your whole damn family in shambles too,
I got a call from your mom months back,
Saying I wish he didn’t leave town like that,

Loves gonna’ bring you home, 
Even God didn’t see it comin’,
But no matter where you’re at, 
We’ll always find the way back,
We’ll always find the way back,
We’ll always find the way back,

Toking poison to some Killers song,
Your old man’s trans am in Kodachrome,
Bumper sticker to the back right,
State champs ‘83 through ‘85

She’s smoking cigarettes in the kitchen,
Tom and Jerry’s on the front room television,
She always sat under the oak tree,
Saying God I miss the old me,

Loves gonna’ bring you home, 
Even God didn’t see it comin’,
But no matter where you’re at, 
We’ll always find the way back,
We’ll always find the way back,
We’ll always find the way back,

Saw you in my dreams last night, 
You had a vandal grin framed by a suit and tie,
Toking poison to some Killers song, 
Your old man’s trans am in Kodachrome,
Your old man’s trans am in Kodachrome,
Your old man’s trans am in Kodachrome
