Guns N’ Roses have successfully bridged the gap between rock and country music, creating a buzz with a new country hit that celebrates a GN’R T-shirt. This unique song is gaining popularity on various radio stations, capturing the attention of both rock fans and country aficionados alike.

The Chris Godwin Band from Canada released the catchy tune titled “GN’R Tee” last month, and it has quickly gained traction on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country channel, as well as featuring in several curated Amazon Music country playlists. This cross-genre appeal reflects the evolving landscape of modern music, where boundaries are increasingly blurred.

Godwin’s songwriting draws inspiration from a personal anecdote about a worn-out Guns N’ Roses shirt that his girlfriend insisted on keeping rather than discarding. He humorously recounts how she claimed the shirt for herself, turning what could have been a forgotten article of clothing into a memorable centerpiece of their relationship.

?Most of my songs fall into the typical country themes like drinking, partying, love, and relationships. However, my wonderful girlfriend of 11 years jokingly challenged me to write a song about her,? Godwin shared with the Canadian publication, Prince George Citizen. His playful response to her request sparked creative inspiration, leading him to recall the well-loved Guns N? Roses T-shirt that she wouldn?t let him throw away. It became a cherished piece of their shared history and ultimately the heart of the song.

Not only does Guns N’ Roses provide the title and lyrical inspiration for the track, but the legendary guitarist Slash also influenced the distinctive guitar solo featured in the latter half of the song. Godwin aimed to evoke the iconic sound associated with Slash, creating a powerful and memorable moment within the track.

“I envisioned a guitar solo reminiscent of Slash’s signature style from Guns N? Roses. It needed to be a bold, standout moment that would captivate listeners,” the country artist explained, showcasing his respect for the rock legends while seamlessly integrating their influence into his music.

Explore the Lyrics of “GN’R Tee” by Chris Godwin Band

Well, I can’t say for sure
Where I got it
It might’ve had another
Owner before me
I put it on so many times
That I nearly wore it out
That T-shirt don’t owe me
A damn thing

When she saw it
Sitting on the hamper
On the pile of clothes
I was gonna give away
She picked it up and put it on
Like it had been hers all along
And she went and turned
And went on with her day
I lose my breath each time
She looks that way

If it’s first thing in the morning
Or the last thing before bed
When she walks across that bedroom floor
It’s what gets stuck in my head
It’s the sight these eyes have wanted
Though I never knew the need
When I see her with nothin’ on
But my old GN’R Tee

Even though it’s baggy
In most places
And it’s got a hole or two
If you look close
Well it clings to her
Right where it should
And seeing that girl
Look so good
Well it lights me up
From my head down to my toes
And I tell her every day
So she knows

If it’s first thing in the morning
Or the last thing before bed
When she walks across that bedroom floor
It’s what gets stuck in my head
It’s the sight these eyes have wanted
Though I never knew the need
When I see her with nothin’ on
But my old GN’R Tee

Sometimes she’ll put it on
Right at bedtime
And sometimes before
TV on the couch
The time of day
Don’t really even matter
It’s the way that she
Feels that T-shirt out

If it’s first thing in the morning
Or the last thing before bed
When she walks across that bedroom floor
It’s what gets stuck in my head
It’s the sight these eyes have wanted
Though I never knew the need
When I see her with nothin’ on
Oh when I see her with nothin’ on
But my old GN’R Tee
