Luke Bryan was born in Leesburg, Georgia, to LeClaire and Tommy Bryan, who owned a peanut farm. Shortly before Luke was going to move to Nashville at age 19, his elder brother Chris was unexpectedly killed in a car accident. His mother, LeClaire, had made a statement: "We knew Luke at some point would come to Nashville," his mother said. "But ... you can't leave your family, and ... I couldn't bear the thought of him being away."
Instead, Luke went to college at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia, where he joined the Sigma Chi fraternity, briefly dated his future wife Caroline, and graduated in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Luke reconnected with Caroline several years later when he was performing at a bar in Statesboro when she was in town, later resuming their relationship and eventually marrying.
Two years after graduating from college, Bryan finally made it to Nashville, when his father urged him to pack his truck to pursue a career in music. He initially gained success as a songwriter, but soon after signed as a performer; his first major success was "All My Friends Say".

Soon after his arrival in Nashville, Bryan joined a publishing house in the city. Among his first cuts was the title track of Travis Tritt's 2004 album My Honky Tonk History.

In the meantime, Bryan co-wrote Billy Currington's single "Good Directions", which went to number one on the Hot Country Songs chart in mid-2007. Bryan co-wrote his debut single, "All My Friends Say", with producer Jeff Stevens. This song reached a peak of #5 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Bryan appeared on the April 18, 2010, episode of Celebrity Apprentice alongside fellow country star Emily West. The task for each team was to make over an up-and-coming country star, with Bryan being selected by Team Rocksolid, led by Bill Goldberg, and West being selected by team Tenacity, led by Cyndi Lauper. Bryan's makeover failed to impress the judges, leading to Rocksolid losing the task.

Luke Bryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We met down at the floatin' dock
She snuck out scared, she might get caught
We were nervous, mmm but it was worth it
There was no such thing as consequence
With her in my arms it finally made sense
In that moonlight, I saw her tan lines
Every time my feet are danglin' in the water
I can't help but think about her
Lyin' there with her wet hair
Didn't know what we were doin' but we didn't care
That old wooden dock was warm on our backs
A t-shirt for a pillow and just like that
She kissed me like she meant forever
We were too damn young to know any better
The fog rolled in, she said "I better go"
She took my t-shirt and wore it home
A memory, a souvenir she could keep
So I stayed and watched that sunrise
Like it was wakin' up my life
To what love was, I can still see us
Every time my feet are danglin' in the water
I can't help but think about her
Lyin' there with her wet hair
Didn't know what we were doin' but we didn't care
That old wooden dock was warm on our backs
A t-shirt for a pillow and just like that
She kissed me like she meant forever
We were too damn young to know any better
Every time my feet are danglin' in the water
I can't help but think about her
Lyin' there with her wet hair
Didn't know what we were doin' but we didn't care
That old wooden dock was warm on our backs
A t-shirt for a pillow and just like that
She kissed me like she meant forever
We were too damn young to know any better
We were too damn young to know any better
She snuck out scared, she might get caught
We were nervous, mmm but it was worth it
There was no such thing as consequence
With her in my arms it finally made sense
In that moonlight, I saw her tan lines

"Too Damn Young" by Luke Bryan is a romantic ballad that tells the story of two young lovers who meet at a floating dock. The verse begins with the singer describing the location where they met, indicating that it was somewhere remote, and that she sneaked out, scared she might get caught. The singer and the girl were both nervous, but it was worth it. The two were young, and there was no such thing as consequence, and it was in her arms that everything fell into place. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, the moonlight revealed her tan lines, and he knew she was the one.
The chorus talks about the feeling the singer gets every time his feet are dangling in the water, indicating that he can't help but think about her. He describes how they lay on an old wooden dock, using a t-shirt for a pillow, and how she kissed him like it was forever. He repeats that they were too young to know any better with so much emphasis that the lyrics become a chant.
In the second verse, the fog rolls in, and she says that she has to go. She takes his t-shirt and wears it home as a souvenir. The singer watches the sunrise as he realizes that he has fallen in love. He can see snippets of their time together vividly, and every time his feet are in the water, he is reminded of the moment they shared. He still speaks about how young they were and wishes that he had known better.

The fog rolled in, she said "I better go"
As the fog started to roll in, she realized it was time for her to leave.
She took my t-shirt and wore it home
She took my t-shirt as a souvenir and wore it on her way back home.
A memory, a souvenir she could keep
The t-shirt became a memory and a keepsake for her to remember the night by.
So I stayed and watched that sunrise
I stayed there and watched the sunrise, unwilling to let go of the experience.
Like it was wakin' up my life
The sunrise felt like it was awakening my life, bringing new meaning to it.
To what love was, I can still see us
I can still remember us and how we felt that night, despite the passage of time.
