Following the ascent of his song "I Was Jake (You Were Diane)" to No. 1 on the country charts,Jake Owen is releasing his next new single. "Down to the Honkytonk" will have listeners ready to raise a glass to the simple pleasures in life.

Led by a driving drum beat made for clapping and stomping along, "Down to the Honkytonk" finds Owen explaining that even if you're not rich and famous, there's still plenty to love about life. After all, as Owen sings in the traditional-leaning tune, "Life's whatcha make it."

"I might not end up in the Hall of Fame / With a star on the sidewalk with my name / Or a statue in my hometown when I'm gone / Nobody gonna name their babies after me," Owen sings in the chorus of "Down to the Honkytonk." "I might not go down in history / But I'll go down to the honky-tonk."
