The man behind "Huntin', Fishin', and Lovin' Every Day" is waxing philosophical with his latest tune.
Luke Bryan's follow-up to his top-ten-and-climbing "Country On" takes his love of the outdoors and adds a spiritual element.
"I wrote a song a couple of years ago called 'Prayin' in a Deer Stand,'" he explains. "And we always wanted to release it kind of during deer season. It's out now and I love it."
"It's one of my favorite songs I've ever written," he continues, "and [I] really love the story that it tells. And I think, you know, if you're really into deer hunting and even being outdoors, I mean, so many times, whether you're hunting or fishing or whatever, [it's about] just kinda get[ting] to be out there and spend a little time with the big man upstairs."
And that's exactly what Luke plans to do over the November holiday.
"I've not hunted as much as I want to yet," Luke tells ABC Audio, "but Thanksgiving week, I'm ready to go. I've got all my hunting plans in order."
