PENNED ALONGSIDE SAME COLLABORATORS FLEET WROTE MORGAN WALLEN’S TOP 5-AND-RISING “MAN MADE A BAR (FEAT. ERIC CHURCH)”
PEOPLE (EXCLUSIVE) – LARRY FLEET IS SOBER, HEALTHY AND READY TO APPRECIATE ALL THE ‘THINGS I TAKE FOR GRANTED’
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Country troubadour Larry Fleet has the second most-added single at country radio this week with “Things I Take For Granted,” which PEOPLE observes is “a song that’s already begun to be a standout track.” As the first single from his acclaimed third-studio album Earned It, the track logged 48 first week stations and follows his RIAA Gold-certified debut “Where I Find God.”
Produced by Joey Moi, Fleet penned the gratitude-filled song with Rocky Block, Jordan Dozzi, and Brett Tyler. Notably, the four collaborators also wrote Morgan Wallen’s Top 5-and-rising “Man Made A Bar (feat. Eric Church)” within the same songwriting session. Both fan-favorites, “Things I Take For Granted” highlights the Tennessee native’s true-to-life songwriting that Hook & Barrel notes as “the backbone of Fleet’s blue-collar songs.”
“A few of my buddies were out on the road one weekend to write,” shares Fleet. “The concept for ‘Things I Take For Granted’ was honest. We exchanged stories about the mundane things in life that can be easy to overlook and how valuable it is to take time to recognize the blessings you have.”
Fleet sings:
I’m still living, breathing
I love the job I’m leaving
And I just hit three green lights in a row
On my way home
And I’ve got a family that loves me
Someone looking out up above me
And I still got some blue skies left to go
I’m the Webster definition of what a lucky man is
When I take a look at all the things I take for granted

Headlining theaters nationwide, Fleet’s The Earned It Tour treks on, heading to Memphis and New Orleans this week before noteworthy spring dates in Boston, Philadelphia, D.C., Houston, and more. This summer, Fleet opens tours for Billy Currington, Kip Moore, and Luke Bryan. See a full list of tour dates here.
