Brantley Gilbert's new song "The Worst Country Song Of All Time" is doing quite well on the country charts and radio. The song features Hardy, who was one of his co-writers, and Toby Keith.

Brantley says, “‘The Worst Country Song of All Time’ is exactly what the title says. It’s the worst country song of all time. It’s self-explanatory and I hope everybody hates it.”

He posted a clip of the song to his Twitter recently, saying, "Love it or hate it... Ya gotta listen loud #bgnation... The #worstcountrysong of all time is OUT NOW."

The lyrics of the song sing in part, "This is the worst country song of all time / And it goes / I hate beer and honky-tonk women / I don't eat deer and I can't stand fishing / And I don't know the words to Family Tradition / Folsom Prison, or Walk The Line / And I think sweet tea is overrated / And all dirt roads were made for paving / Yeah, this is the worst country song of all time."
