Steers & Stripes is the seventh studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It was released in April 2001 via Arista Nashville. The album produced five singles on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, of which the first three reached number one. "Ain't Nothing 'bout You", the first single, became the duo's biggest hit, not only spending six weeks at the top of the country chart, but also reaching No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also declared by Billboard as the number-one country song of 2001. Following it were "Only in America" and "The Long Goodbye" (the latter of which was later a pop hit for Ronan Keating, co-written with Paul Brady). The last two singles were the No. 5 "My Heart Is Lost to You" and the No. 12 "Every River".

The track "The Last Thing I Do" was also recorded by James Otto for his debut album Days of Our Lives, and by Montgomery Gentry for their 2004 album You Do Your Thing (as "If It's the Last Thing I Do").
