Bottoms Up Lyrics

I see you and me riding like Bonnie and Clyde
Goin' 95 burning down 129 yeah
Looking for the law, while I push my luck
She's ridin' shotgun like it ain't no thing
Turn the radio up so the girl can sing right
Pull into the party like "y'all wassup"
Tonight is Bottoms Up up
Throw it on down
Rock this quiet, little country town
Get up, drop a tailgate on ya truck
Find a keg and fill ya cup up
Kick it on back
Pretty little mama lookin' at ya like that
Make ya wanna slide on in like "Girl, what’s up"
Yeah tonight is bottoms up up up
Get em up
Tonight is bottoms up up up
Get em up
Damn girl I gotta tip my hat
Never thought a country song would make you move like that yeah
And she's doing it in daisy dukes
Girl she's got ya tappin' on a boys shoulder
Hey dog check this out
And that's how girl do it in the dirty south yeah
She'll have you on your knee "can I marry you?"

Yeah tonight is bottoms up
Throw it on down
Rock this quiet, little country town
Get up, drop a tailgate on ya truck
Find a keg and fill ya cup up
Kick it on back
Pretty little mama lookin' at ya like that
Make ya wanna slide on in like "Girl, what’s up"
Yeah tonight is bottoms up up up
Get em up
Tonight is bottoms up up up
Get em up get em up get em up

Get em up

Hey y'all whatever ya sippin' get it up in the air one time
Bottoms up

Let’s give a toast to the good times
All y’all get your drinks up high
Everybody feelin' alright
Damn right
'Cause tonight it’s bottoms up
Throw it on down
Rock this quiet, little country town
Get up, drop a tailgate on ya truck
Find a keg and fill ya cup up
Kick it on back
Pretty little mama lookin' at ya like that
Make ya wanna slide on in like "Girl, what’s up"

Tonight is bottoms up up
Throw it on down
Rock this quiet, little country town
Get up, drop a tailgate on ya truck
Find a keg and fill ya cup up
Kick it on back
Pretty little mama lookin' at ya like that
Make ya wanna slide on in like "Girl, what’s up"
Yeah tonight is bottoms up up up
Get em up
Tonight is bottoms up up up
Get em up

Bottoms Up

Brantley Gilbert's first new song for three years finds Country's bad boy having a good time as he fills his cup from a keg and hooks up with a "pretty little mama."

The phrase "Bottoms Up" is a call to drain one's glass, so that the bottom is uppermost. The drinking toast is of British naval origin.

The prohibition-themed music video features Gilbert and his crew decked out in vintage duds preparing to party as they load up a vintage car with moonshine. "The video was a lot of fun to shoot," Gilbert said. "We had an absolute blast. I'm a huge fan of the Prohibition Era. There were outlaws around, real outlaws. [The video] tells a cool story and I think the band and I and everyone involved had a good time. So, we're proud of it."

This was Brantley Gilbert's third #1 on Hot Country Songs following "Country Must Be Country Wide" and "You Don't Know Her Like I Do."

This was named by TouchTunes, the largest in-venue interactive entertainment network in North America, as the most-played song on jukeboxes in 2014. Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" came second on their list and Pharrell Williams' "Happy" third.

Despite penning the boozy, party-hardy lyrics, Gilbert has been sober since late-2011. When asked why he still writes songs about drinking if he's sworn off alcohol, he replied: "Cause when I drank, I drank 10 times more than the majority of people drink in 10 lifetimes. I earned my stripes. I can sing drinking songs for the rest of my life if I want to."

The 2015 platinum edition of Just As I Am includes a T.I. remix of this song. Though it might raise eyebrows among country purists, Gilbert told Billboard magazine he didn't intend the collaboration to be controversial, "I didn't do it to piss anybody off or stir the water or give [ammunition to] the people that are on a power trip about the 'country and rap is crap' stuff," he said.

"That song was already outside of the box," Gilbert added, "so why not spice it up just a little bit and add a little bit of fun?"
