Beer Today, Gone Tomorrow

Copyright 2015 Robert J. Thompson

FIRST SAW YOU AT THE CORNER STORE
I HAD A FEW, BUT I NEEDED MORE
YOU WERE CHILLIN' OUT WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS
I PICKED YOU UP AND THE FUN BEGAN

I KNEW I LOVED YOU RIGHT FROM THE START
YOU FOUND A HOME IN THIS MAN'S HEART
YOU QUENCHED MY THIRST AND NOW YOU'RE GONE
I GRABBED YOUR FRIEND AND I PARTIED ON

BEER TODAY GONE TOMORROW
YOU’RE THE REASON FOR MY SORROW
I LEFT YOU STANDING THERE
YESTERDAY WITHOUT A CARE

BEER TODAY GONE TOMORROW
YOU’RE SO HARD TO FOLLOW
I PUT YOU DOWN AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE
DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

A WIDE BOTTOM AND A LONG NECK
I HAD YOU WITH ME OUT ON THE DECK
I PICKED YOU UP AND I PUT YOU DOWN
THEN I CHASED YOU WITH A SHOT OF CROWN

I CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
THAT’S THE REASON WHY I’M SO PERPLEXED
I SEARCHED THE ROOM, BUT NOT A TRACE OF YOU
WHAT KIND OF HOLE DID YOU FALL INTO?

BEER TODAY GONE TOMORROW
YOU’RE THE REASON FOR MY SORROW
I LEFT YOU STANDING THERE
YESTERDAY WITHOUT A CARE

BEER TODAY GONE TOMORROW
YOU’RE SO HARD TO FOLLOW
I PUT YOU DOWN AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE
DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

THE NEXT MORNING I WAS QUITE A MESS
TOO MUCH OF YOU I MUST CONFESS
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT YOU LET ME DOWN
LOOKED EVERYWHERE, BUT YOU’RE NOT AROUND

BEER TODAY GONE TOMORROW
YOU’RE THE REASON FOR MY SORROW
I LEFT YOU STANDING THERE
YESTERDAY WITHOUT A CARE

BEER TODAY GONE TOMORROW
YOU’RE SO HARD TO FOLLOW
I PUT YOU DOWN AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE
DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR
