I know you're gonna be there → Luke Bryan

This song is an amazing country song.

This song is so powerful because it really is about a broken heart. The boy is wondering if the girl still has something for him. "And I'm gonna bring somebody I barely even know, And when you turn my way, I'm gonna pull her in close, And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all, I just wanna see if you still care, I know you're gonna be there" He's basically going to play with another persons feelings to see if the girl he actually loves still loves him. Now I wouldn't recommend toying with someone's feelings, but the boy does need to know if she still loves him. Who knows, maybe if he would have asked her, then she could have easily lied and said "I don't love you." I'm just going to be blunt and say that this song is about a breakup. The girl tore out the boys heart. I say this because if he would have broken up with her, then he wouldn't have a need to bring a girl he doesn't even know to the event and see the reaction from the one he loves. This song is so meaningful because it shows how devastating a break up can be. The last lines are so meaningful. "I'm gonna put on my new shirt, Shine up these old boots, Truth is when I see yah, I don't know what I'll do" He doesn't know how he'll react when he sees his love who broke his heart. How do you think he'll react? I think he'll look to the girl he's holding close and say, I'm sorry, then he'll make his way to his love. Or he might just ignore the girl he's with and go straight for the one he still loves. 


"I know you're gonna be there" lyrics: 

I'm gonna put on my new shirt
Shine up these old boots
Take a deep breath
Try to keep my cool
I know you're gonna be there
I'm gonna have a couple drinks, just to knock off the edge
Not too much, don't wanna make a fool of myself
I know you're gonna be there, I know you're gonna be there

And I'm gonna bring somebody I barely even know
And when you turn my way, I'm gonna pull her in close
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
I just wanna see if you still care
I know you're gonna be there

You love the band that's playing, you wouldn't miss them for the world
All our friends are coming out and if I know one thing, girl, I know you're gonna be there
Gonna walk right by that table were you always like to sit
And when I run into you, it's gonna be an accident
I know you're gonna be there

I'm gonna act like it aint nothing, but another friday night
And you're just some old friend and I'm doing just fine
Like I'm only going out to shake off another week
Maybe see the boys and catch a buzz somewhere
But I know you're gonna be there

And I'm gonna bring somebody I barely even know
And when you turn my way, I'm gonna pull her in real close
And the crazy thing about it is I ain't into her at all
I just wanna see if you still care
I know you're gonna be there, I know you're gonna be there

I'm gonna put on my new shirt
Shine up these old boots
Truth is when I see yah, I don't know what I'll do
