Composition The song draws heavily from traditional country influences. It is built on a guitar riff, over which Luke Combs sings about wanting to be with his wife, Nicole, regardless of his situation or surroundings. The lyrics use bucolic imagery, including a johnboat on a lake full of largemouth bass and a holler accompanied by rustling wind, among the settings where they may spend time together. In addition, the title "Be By You" employs wordplay on the term bayou.
