50 Best Country Songs About Bourbon
Best Honky-Tonk Drinking Tracks That Mention Bourbon
There’s something strangely ceremonial about that first slow sip of bourbon. The glass is cold, the air might be hot, the night hasn’t figured out what it’s going to be yet. Some folks drink to let go, some lean into the ache, but the right song always finds a way to sneak in between the first burn and the last word. Not all of them are sad, not all of them are rowdy. Some hit like a barstool conversation you never meant to have. The kind that sounds fine at first, until the second verse gets under your skin and says too much.
Country’s had a long thing with bourbon. Not the polished brand-name kind you see in a billboard ad, but the rough-around-the-edges stuff. It’s wrapped into confessions, half-formed apologies, and nights that don’t wrap up clean. It shows up in the background of late drives, after fights, during long silences in old trucks. And it's not locked to country either—there’s a whole tangle of pop, rock, country, and R&B songs that swirl around the same kind of drink-soaked truth. Still, something in the southern twang makes it hit different. More dirt. Less filter.
This isn’t a list for high-gloss cocktail playlists. These songs are more dive bar than rooftop. Some lean funny, some feel like a stumble, some sound like they were recorded in the back room of a gas station. But they all carry that same familiar, warm bite—the kind that starts smooth and ends in your chest. Here are the best country songs that bring bourbon into the picture without pretending to be fine.
