The highly anticipated new music from Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville recording artistĀ Devin DawsonĀ is finally here with his soaring single, āI Got A Truckā (LISTEN HERE).
The anthem for dream chasers everywhere delivers fans a powerful story of heart and determination that far surpasses the trackās inconspicuous title. As the sole writer, Dawson immediately set to work penning the lyrics on his tour bus following a late-night conversation with country music icon Tim McGraw while on the road together.
āAs someone who writes songs every single day, I donāt ever take any inspiration for granted,ā Dawson explained. āSometimes you use tricks youāve learned along the way to kickstart that inspiration and other times it just lands right in your lap. This song is the latter. Iām fired up that I get the chance to be the one to help tell this story – because when itās this real, honest and true, the rest is easy. I found so much of myself in this story and in this song and I canāt wait to hear how other people find their story in it as well.ā
Currently featured onĀ HARDYās Top 20 single āOne Beerā alongsideĀ Lauren Alaina, āI Got A Truckā is the first new solo music from the breakout star since the release of his critically celebrated debut album,Ā Dark Horse. It also follows the success of his GRAMMY-nominated, CMA Single of the Year, āGodās Country,ā that he co-wrote for superstarĀ Blake Shelton.
