In the chorus of his latest single, "Drinking Class," Lee Brice proclaims
We belong to the drinking class.
Monday through Friday, man, we bust our backs.
The song, the second single from Brice's smash "I Don't Dance" album, celebrates those who work from sun up to sun down every single day to take care of their families.
"I wanted to pay tribute to the hard working men and women who get up every day and work hard to provide for their families. It's where I come from and where my heart is," he explains.
The just-out video for "Drinking Class" is powered by evocative images of the men and women of rural America. There are scenes on farms and in factories, and of tough trucks and good-time fast cars.

Brice, the single "Drinking Class" and the song's video have caught the media's attention.
Country Weekly declares that the song "heads right down the blue-collar Springsteen highway," adding that "its video reflects this theme through gorgeous vignettes of farmers, iron workers, mechanics, teachers, police officers, firefighters and more, shot on location by director Ryan Smith over four days across several small towns in Tennessee."
The New York Times says of Brice, the "evocative, rough-edged singer recorded the song with the American working class in mind."
USA Today states "Nobody in Nashville writes better love songs right now than Brice."
American Songwriter notes that Brice "might just be the hardest-working man on Music Row."
