Bar Anthem — Rig Crew Friday Off

A modern country bar anthem. Friday at 7pm, the rig crew's first night off after a three-week stretch. Swagger register — earned, not boasted. Title repeats 6× as the toast they keep making. Specific drinks, specific names, the inside joke from the worksite. Chant-along chorus by hook 2. The kind of song the whole bar knows by chorus 2.

Authenticity is INHABITED, not INHERITED.

Country songs collect signals (truck + beer + dirt road + mama) — but real country INHABITS a coherent material world; cosplay merely lists the signals. The Concrete Imagery Density + Live-Realistic Ratio primitives + 4 substyle profiles (Neo-Traditional / Radio-Country-Crossover / Heartland-Ballad / Bar-Anthem) detect the gap.

The load-bearing primitive is CID + LRR — applied to every country lyric the forge produces, including Bar Anthem.
