The True Meaning Behind 'Drinkin' Beer. Talkin' God. Amen' By Chase Rice Ft. FGL

According to Chase Rice, "Drinkin' Beer. Talkin' God. Amen" was written prior to the pandemic, but its message is so timely, it's almost as if "God himself intervened," he told American Songwriter. The tune encapsulates "what 2020 became for us and a lot of other people โ€” slowing down to enjoy these moments with our loved ones and having deeper, more meaningful conversations with each other," Rice wrote in a press release (via American Songwriter). 

Featuring lyrics such as, "I don't know what heaven looks like... / If it's like down here up there tonight, then there's folks like us / Sittin' here, drinkin' beer, talkin' God, amen / Killing time livin' life with some down-home friends," the song paints a vivid picture about how it's sometimes the little things that turn out to matter most. The official music video โ€” which features Rice, Tyler Hubbard, and Brian Kelley (of Florida Georgia Line) drinking beer around a fire under the stars โ€” only underscores this theme.

It's also a reminder to look at life with a "glass half full" mentality, taking disappointments in stride, and looking for the good even amidst the bad. "It's a celebration of the year we've been forced to have," Rice told American Songwriter. "I've sat around more fires and dinner tables. I've had more deep conversations with friends and made friends that weren't friends before." This is something to which most everyone can relate.
