Bret Mullins is a well known country music artist from Texas. He has a signature look that includes an old guitar, an easy grin on his face and of course a Stetson hat that tucks his hair. He is the epitome of Texas Country Music. His Instagram bio says, “The Bret Mullins Band is real Texas Country music”. In one of the podcasts, named “Southbound I-35", the host of the podcast described his voice as “a very distinctive voice but with a certain familiarity” and it’s 100% true.

"Watching You Drink" is one of Bret's songs. The song draws the listener towards the music in a sneaky way, it is very catchy. The song definitely has a Texas country music vibe, kind of a sappy love song. It is the kind of song you would dance to during a live concert or even in a club. Remember, live performance is the root of the Texas country music scene.

In the very beginning of the song we become aware of how the singer is mesmerized by the blue eyes and dark jeans of his beloved. Like any other lover, he is blown away by her beauty and moves that she is showing off. He loves to hear her laugh every single time. The country music adds a fun vibe to the lyrics that are completely filled with love and appreciation.

“You have any idea what you do to me With those blue eyes and dark jeans....”

"Watching You Drink" is written by Andrew Dorff. What gets you hooked to the song is the great beat and appealing lyrics. Bret is a singer as well as a songwriter so when he sings any song he also understands the meaning behind it’s lyrics. In the hook, he has used metaphors to describe his love interest. He says that when she sings it feels like he is listening to a song on the radio. All her dance moves create a great show that he really enjoys as it is memorizing to him. Just watching her drink leaves him catching his breath.

“Watching you sing like a radio
Watching you dance- one hell of a show
Baby it’s a beautiful...”

In the second verse of the song we are introduced to love as a mystery. He sings about how he is just amazed by all the things that she does. This part of the song is what I really relate to because when we are in love with someone we notice every little detail about them and love it. In a similar way, Bret sings about how his love wakes up to the sun every day and she gets things done. How she does this is still a mystery to him.

“Wake up to the sun five days a week
How you get it all done that’s a mystery to me
Whoa another Margarita
Baby coming right up
Cuz nights like these don’t come around much..”

The only drink mentioned during the entire song is a margarita, which is usually a girl’s drink. In an amusing part of this song, Bret sings about bringing up more drinks as he feels that these moments are very rare and precious. Someone who wakes up early five days a week and works really hard does not have much time to go out and drink. "Watching You Drink" is all about enjoying in the moment to the fullest.

“Having such a good time
Watching you have such a good time
Watching you drink...”

With margarita and the love of your life, everyone’s would have a good time for sure and that’s what Bret sings about towards the end of the song. Getting drunk makes you free of all your inhibitions which lets you enjoy yourself as you are. Mullins sings about how he is having a good time watching her drink and enjoying herself.

Mullins is known for his live band performances in Texas which are very dynamic and his popularity among the people can be noticed with the fully crowded dance halls at his concerts. His works have received radio airplay and the reviews have been great. Country music fans have approved of his music wholeheartedly. The Bret Mullins band is shaking up the country music scene with each single they release. Plus, their live performances can not be missed.

Let's focus on Bret’s single “Home Sweet Texas". This song is a true example of a traditional country music. Bret Mullins has a classic Texas dance hall sound which he brings out with perfect energy. The style with which he sings makes me believe he truly respects Texas country music. He has been awarded with San Antonio music awards such as “Best county band of the year".

The Bret Mullins band has the ability to draw the crowds towards their music and make them groove to it. They have the capability to deliver what the crowd loves. During their performances the band keeps the audience either on the dance floor the entire time or on the edge of their seats. The steady growth in their popularity is a sign that they have much more coming in the future. I believe they will take the country music scene even further with their upcoming releases.
