From Beer To There

Copyright 2012 Robert J. Thompson, BMI

WELL, I TOLD HER I WAS GOIN’
TO GRAB A BEER WITH AN OLD FRIEND
SHE SAID YOU BETTER BE HOME EARLY
OR THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE END
I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME
YOU DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR
I SAID NOW DARLIN’
WHAT CAN HAPPEN FROM BEER TO THERE?

WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNIN’
IT WOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE
I’M BACK HERE IN THIS JAIL CELL
I CAN ALMOST HEAR HER CRIES
I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M IN FOR
AND THEY DON’T SEEM TO CARE
SOMEONE TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED FROM BEER TO THERE?

FROM BEER TO THERE
I COULD HAVE BEEN HOME EARLY
FROM BEER TO THERE
I SHOULD HAVE WALKED INSTEAD
FROM BEER TO THERE
I SHOULD BE RIGHT BESIDE HER
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I DIDN'T GET FROM BEER TO THERE

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

I TRIED AND TRIED TO CALL HER
BUT SHE DIDN’T PICK UP THE PHONE
I GUESS SHE’S MADE GOOD ON HER PROMISE
SHE’S PACKED HER THINGS AND GONE
WELL, I KNOW I HAD IT COMIN’
IT’S A CROSS I’LL HAVE TO BEAR
I GUESS A LOT
CAN HAPPEN FROM BEER TO THERE

WHENEVER I GO OUT WITH FRIENDS
I THINK ABOUT THAT NIGHT
THE BEST OF GOOD INTENTIONS
DON’T ALWAYS TURN OUT RIGHT
I KNOW I AM A LUCKY MAN
I ALWAYS SAY MY PRAYERS
I KNOW MUCH WORSE
COULD’VE HAPPENED FROM BEER TO THERE

FROM BEER TO THERE
I COULD HAVE BEEN HOME EARLY
FROM BEER TO THERE
I SHOULD HAVE WALKED INSTEAD
FROM BEER TO THERE
I SHOULD BE RIGHT BESIDE HER
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I DIDN'T GET FROM BEER TO THERE
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I DIDN'T GET FROM BEER TO THERE
