Zach Bryan isn’t afraid to keep his music releases informal. The country star will routinely share extended teasers of songs on social media, or just drop complete new songs without much warning. This time, Bryan dropped a new snippet on Instagram, and on it, he has some bones to pick.
The post is captioned, “the fading of the red white and blue,” seemingly the song’s title. As for the lyrics, they are as follows:
“Didn’t wake up dead or in jail
Some out-of-town boys been giving us hell
I got some bad news
I woke up missing you
My friends are all degenerates but they’re all I got
The generation to a story of dropping the plot
I heard the cops came
Cocky motherfuckers, ain’t they?
And ICE is gonna come bust down your door
Try to build a house no one builds no more
But I got a telephone
Kids are all scared and all alone
The bar stopped bumping the rock, stopped rolling the middle
Fingers rising and it won’t stop showing
Got some bad news
The fading of the red, white, and blue.”
Elsewhere, Bryan is prepping to drop a new project, With Heaven On Top, at the start of 2026.
