Song Lyrics
Luke Bryan
“I See You” / High Risk Behavior Referenced / What the song makes you think about these risky behaviors / Actual consequences of the mentioned behaviors
Roll in the bar, me and my crew
Their little plan to get me over you
They're hookin’ me up, yeah
Buyin’ me drinks with a thousand girls
There's just one thing
Hey boy, come dance with me
Stuck like a melody in my head
In the bed of my truck
By the light of the midnight moon
Baby, I see you / * Drinking too much
* Drinking and Driving
  • Hooking up with someone you just met
/ That if he is drunk he will go over to the girls and get one to leave with him.
That it is fun and okay. / DWI, Car accident, make a fool of yourself
Pregnancy, STD’s
