"The Beer Drinkin' Song"

Beer Drinkin= Song
(David Wood - Lacy J. Dalton)

I GOT A LETTER FROM A BUDDY IN AUSTIN,
I AIN'T SEEN FOR TEN YEARS OR MORE.
IT STARTED DEAR DAVID, I'M SO GLAD YOU MADE IT,
CAUSE, YOU WERE SO GOD BLESS-SED POOR.

HE STILL WORKS CONSTRUCTION, OUTSIDE OF AUSTIN,
BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST EIGHT YEARS.
BUT WHEN HE HIT THE SKIDS, CHARLENE TOOK THE KIDS,
AND HE DROWIN' HIS SORROWS IN BEER.

CHORUS:
I, WROTE HIM A BEER DRINKIN' SONG,
ONE WE CAN ALL SING ALONG,
FOR ALL OF THE GOOD TIMES,
THE FALLIN'DOWN DRUNK TIMES,
A BLUE-RIBBON BEER DRINKIN'SONG.

MY OLD BUDDY TONY, IS STILL DRIVIN'SEMI-S,
AND GRINDIN' THEM GEARS UP THE HILL,
GUSSLIN' DOWN GALLONS OF COFFEE,
HE'S DRIVIN' TO PAY OFF HIS BILLS.

AND, THEN THERE'S OLD DOTTY, DOWN AT THE TRUCK STOP
BEEN THERE SINCE WE WERE SIXTEEN,
THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT, ALL THESE YEARS LATER,
IS THE HIP SIZE ON HOLD DOTTY'S JEANS.

CHORUS

I, WROTE HIM A BEER DRINKIN' SONG,
ONE WE CAN ALL SING ALONG,
FOR ALL OF THE GOOD TIMES,
THE FALLIN' DOWN DRUNK TIMES,
A BLUE-RIBBON BEER DRINKIN' SONG.

SO, I GOT OUT MY GUI-TAR, AND A BOTTLE OF LONE STAR,
AND A PEN THAT I FOUND ON THE FLOOR.
AND I WROTE THEM THERE OWN SONG,
A HELL-RAISIN' DRUNK SONG,
A WALTZ FOR THE MALT IN THREE-FOUR.

CHORUS:
I, WROTE HIM A BEER DRINKIN' SONG,
ONE WE CAN ALL SING ALONG,
FOR ALL OF THE GOOD TIMES,
THE FALLIN' DOWN DRUNK TIMES,
A BLUE-RIBBON BEER DRINKIN' SONG.

TAG:
FOR ALL OF THE GOOD TIMES,
THE FALLIN'DOWN DRUNK TIMES,
A BLUE-RIBBON BEER DRINKIN SONG.
