Zach Bryan shouts out loved ones as he drops new song High Road

Zach Bryan had a special message for his loved ones as he released his new song “High Road.”

“After being away from home for a year and a half, a few days ago I drove to my mother’s gravestone (SIC) in the dead of night on familiar Oklahoma roads,” the 28-year-old country singer wrote via his Instagram on Thursday, November 7. “And I realized just like before that she would never call me again.”

During a visit to the memorial, Bryan said he gave his late mother an update on all the progress he had made in his life.

“I told her I had stopped touring because I was accepted to get my master’s degree in Paris next year,” he continued. “I told her I was back in Oklahoma, told her about all my best friends in New York and all the nights we cried at the moon.”

Bryan also reflected on the good times he shared with his bandmates on stage and how his hard work paid off. He also gushed about being able to spend quality time with his sister. All those moments inspired him to write the chorus of ‘High Road’.

“She’ll definitely come back and haunt you forever / There’s ghosts in the windows and walls / I’ve been waiting by the phone all night / For someone who will never call,” Bryan sings on the song.

Bryan confessed that he wrote the lyrics “a month or two ago” after realizing he was “blessed with all these things.” He decided now was the best time to share these words with the world.

“Thank you to all the people who love me, who really carried the weight with me,” he wrote. “It seems like all these silent dreams have become way too much, but I’m home now and I’ll help you through the pain.”

The release of Bryan’s song comes hours after his ex-girlfriend Brianna “Kip” LaPaglia the musician accused emotionally abuse her during their one-year relationship. Bryan and the Barstool Sports personality, 25, split late last month. While LaPaglia previously said she was blinded by the breakshe spoke more about her experiences with Bryan on the “BFFs” podcast she cohosts Dave Portnoy And Jos Richards.

“The last year of my life was the hardest year of my life, dealing with the abuse from this guy,” she claimed. “I’m still scared of him, my brain has been rewired. I’m afraid of making him angry. Last week I didn’t want to talk about it because I was scared.”

LaPaglia claimed she refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which Bryan allegedly did offered her money in exchange for.

‘I still said: your money. You made the women before me believe they had no other choice,” she claimed. “And to take money from you, to write down their experiences, to sign what they went through, you get to go away and sing your little songs on stage like you’re a good guy.”

We weekly reached out to Bryan’s team for comment on LaPaglia’s claims but did not immediately hear back.
