"Man, I sing about trucks a lot, I sing about tailgates," the country star says he decided. The song ultimately became a hit for Morgan Wallen

Luke Bryan recently appeared on Bobby Bones' BobbyCast, and discussed passing on the chance to record the Morgan Wallen hit.

"The Way I Talk" served as the lead single off Wallen's debut studio album, If I Know Me. The song was written by Jessi Alexander, Ben Hayslip and Chase McGill and arrived Sept. 12, 2016, essentially launching Wallen's career.

Luke is one of the first names you think of when it comes to the “bro-country” movement of the mid-2010s, back when country music was just a non-stop string of songs about drinking beer, driving down a dirt road in a pickup truck and girls in cutoff jeans.
