Beer Drinkin’ Song

[Verse 1]
I got a letter from a buddy in Austin I ain't seen for ten years or more
It started, "Dear Lacy, I'm so glad you made it 'cause you was so God-blessed 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's drownin' 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 falling down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinkin' song

[Verse 2]
Now my ol' buddy is still drivin' semis and poppin' them little white pills
Washin' 'em down with gallons of coffee, he's drivin' to pay off his bills
And then there's ol' Dottie down at thе truck stop, been there since wе were sixteen
The only thing different, twenty years later, is the hip size on ol' Dottie's jeans

[Chorus]
I wrote 'em a beer drinkin' song
One we can all sing along
For all of the good times, the falling down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinkin' song

[Bridge]
Yes, I got out my guitar and a bottle of Lone Star
And a pen that I found on the floor
And I wrote 'em their own song, a hell-raising drunk song
A waltz for the malt in 3/4

[Chorus]
I wrote him a beer drinkin' song (Beer drinkin' song)
One we can all sing along (All sing along)
For all of the good times, the falling down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinkin' song

[Outro]
For all of the good times, the falling down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinkin' song
