Song Prompt: A gritty, down-home country anthem with stompin’ boots, slide guitars, and a gravel-throated lead vocal. The story follows a sunburnt, sweat-soaked working man—he hauls steel, lays pipe, or runs cattle—who cracks open a cold Truly after a 12-hour shift. The song flips the script: this ain’t no dainty drink. It’s ice-cold, citrus-snappin’, berry-blastin’ refreshment that don’t weigh him down. Lyrics celebrate its flavor punch, big can size, and how it cools him off better than beer without the bloat. Tongue-in-cheek but proud, it reclaims hard seltzer as a “lean, mean, jobsite machine.” Chorus should be loud and chantable, something like: “Ain’t nothin’ girly ‘bout workin’ this hard / With a cooler full of cold ones out in the yard / Light on the gut, but it hits like a truck / Crack a cold Truly, and I don’t give a—” (pause for steel guitar lick). Include shoutouts to dirt roads, tool belts, truck beds, and the lunch pail life. Keep it badass, blue-collar, and fun.
The image depicts a man standing in a dirt field, holding a cold can of Truly seltzer. He appears to be a hardworking, blue-collar individual who enjoys the taste and refreshing qualities of the drink. The scene captures the essence of a gritty, down-home country anthem, with the man embracing the simplicity and toughness of his job and the beverage he enjoys after a long day. The dirt field and the man's tool belt further emphasize the rugged, outdoor lifestyle associated with this type of work.
