Lee Brice - Drinking Class

The video, like the song, pays homage to blue-collar workers all over the country. While scenes flash of various laborers, including a welder, a cook and a truck driver, Brice sings, "I'm a member of a good-timing crowd / We get rowdy, we get wild and loud / If you gotta, gotta label me, label me proud / I belong to the drinking class / Monday through Friday, man we bust our backs / If you're one of us, raise your glass / I belong to the drinking class."

Lee Brice - Drinking Class

I belong to the drinking class / Monday through Friday, man we bust our backs / If you're one of us, raise your glass / I belong to the drinking class," the song is a sharp departure from the record's first single, the album's title track. But while the singer-songwriter tried to make the subject matter of the tunes for the upcoming project diverse, he also tried to make the songs sonically different as well.
