Walker Hayes commemorated a very special occasion at a recent sold-out show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: his seven-year anniversary of being sober. To celebrate this momentous day, he debuted a brand new, unreleased song called "Same Drunk."

The tune was captured in a video shared by radio host Kerri Mac, and in it, Hayes sings about how every person has a vice or two to get them through life.
"Pretty much anything I touch, I can turn it into an addiction, so I wrote this song and I want to share it with y'all," Hayes shared with the crowd before playing the tune. "It's called Same Drunk, it's not out yet, but I love testing new stuff out."
Hayes then dove into the song, which is a fun, bouncy ode to the various addictions people face on an everyday basis.
"Sister's hooked on another jackass / Mama's hooked on looking young / Daddy's hooked on cutting the grass / Brother's hooked on smoking some," he sings in the first verse.
The chorus then completes Hayes' theory that everyone is possibly the "same drunk" with "different beer."
"Maybe we're all just the same drunk / Different beer / Trying to cope with all the crazy down here," he sings, while playing acoustic guitar.
