Where I'm From with Luke Bryan

Hey, look, Brian, and this is my hometown, Leesburg, Georgia. I come here about once a year. Every year it gets a little harder and harder to get here and keep going. I know almost everyone who passes by, which is pretty amazing, I wish. I could go to Warren and make it a little official. Oh, but it's a busy life I'm immersed in right now. Glad to hear it. I guess it says that the store, everything you look around and see is ingrained and who I am and my music. and how I am this person, all products of many teachers who are slow here to talk about them when he was here to milk wheat, Johnny was a pretty orderly place

not everything was football, in baseball it was very, you know . musically inclined, he entertained a very memorable child before you knew it, he didn't become memorable.

I was the theater director. This was a kid who was hungry for opportunities to perform and took advantage of every opportunity. You know he could do a lot of the songs. The songs come from his own experiences right here. I use my life and the elements of my life to create, you know, when I sit on the ride and it's an incredible gift, a lot of our teachers look at it like one of his students is okay, he's never lost. that Lulu's hometown this is my dad's business he had a peanut buying point is the correct term and what happens is they buy the peanuts from the farmer look at this hill right here were the trailers parked right here made someone Unzip the wagon the wagon was rolling down the hill and I was lifting another trailer oh no I could have done that and my daddy's God who worked for him was there and he yelled at me when I turned around.

I left the earth and went to the other's work. I started working here. I was going to college from like 7:00 to 11:00 and I was standing here around 1:00 to 1:00 p.m. I guess I thought that since I had a college degree I wouldn't have to be working and sweating all day, but that wasn't the case. I was here from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. then I was going to play, you know, tell dad I'd have a cut, you know, my band was going to play some

, so I was, I was working hard back then and I used to go there and listen to it. when he was smaller and younger, but he always talked about, you know, singing, he always thought in his heart that he was going to make it, you know, I realized very quickly that, you know, I wanted to do music, get out of the peanut business and the fertilizers. so I went into debt, you know when I was a dad, when I told him I was interested, you know he was, he took the stance that he would fire you if you don't follow your dreams when I got there, I never looked back.

I mean, it felt good, it was the right thing to do and there was a lot of love in that goodbye. He feels a little different now, but it seems like he's still the same. You are still my children. Nothing really changed them. don't be 10,000 now, I'm glad you made it and that's a good tune for the town of Mutina, well this is the mukil II creek just before, um, this is about a mile away converging with kitch Finny Creek in Flint. River, so I grew up fishing and learning about the outdoors and so I wrote songs about the fleet that was here, and now being a bride is like you were predestined to be a fisherwoman, from my Pappaw to my grandpa, my dad , my brother and everyone.

I have two sons and I will have them hunting and fishing and I went and bought a skateboard. My son and I rode skateboards all day yesterday and I haven't even skateboarded. Some Gators here and a pretty swampy spot down here saw a There are a lot of Gators in this down here and we've hunted an alligator or two in our days. I won't go any further than that, but there are plenty of cypresses, oaks, and Spanish moss. I think you know that when I'm on stage. playing music, I'm very happy with them when I'm sitting somewhere like that, my cell phone doesn't explode and I think I'm quite nice, they are two different sensations, but equally as a reconstruction, I just showed them my hometown. now it's time for you to show me yours
