One of  hit songs could have sounded a lot different had another country artist not turned it down beforehand.

During a recent appearance on Bobby Bones' podcast "," country superstar Luke Bryan revealed that he "stupidly" passed on the tune "Sand in My Boots" solely due to the fact that "it had a Chevrolet in it."

"I just went through two years of my life where I was like, 'Man, I sing about trucks a lot, I sing about tailgates,'" he explained. "I got in my head a little bit because I think I had a lot of negativity, socially, on socials, that I was getting pegged as maybe a one-trick pony in that lane."

The song's chorus mentions "dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado," which references a Chevrolet pickup truck.



The song's "Sand in My Boots" ultimately appeared on Wallen's second studio album, 2021's "Dangerous: The Double Album," and went on to become one of the artist's biggest hits.

Bryan also described feeling a bit "overlooked" during this time, saying he had made a name for himself as the guy whose personality screams, "Let's have some fun!," but felt it was "time to move on" from making what he called "spring break albums."

"We’re always looking for new talent, new innovators, and new creators who can bring fresh thinking and perspectives to our community and our platform," said Bryan. "It's important to be a part of the culture and conversation of our country."

"The whole point is to be constructive, but also to be kind. Hopefully, I can marry all of those together," Bryan said.
