You and Beer

[Verse 1]
Back in a time when they called a bar a saloon
I wouldn't have lasted a day
Standin' in a dirt street, hand shakin' at high noon
All cause of somethin' I guess you're not supposed to say
But I'm here and I'm doin' better than okay

[Chorus]
And I've been let down once or twice
Paid some bills and I've paid a price
And two things I can count on most
After all these years
You and beer

[Verse 2]
Old people stare at me 'cause I got a lot of tattoos
And I'm sure they're surprised by my hair
If it was worth the effort, I might just take a minute or two
Sit and talk about the ink in my skin and the stories under there
Crack open a Miller Lite and see if they still care

[Chorus]
And I've been let down once or twice
Paid some bills and I've paid a price
And two things I can count on most
After all these years
You and beer

[Bridge]
I hold you in the mornin'
And a beer at the end of the day
Both of you on a Friday night
While we're dancin' our troubles away
Then we do it all again on Saturday

[Chorus]
And I've been let down once or twice
Paid my dues and I'm doin' alright
And the two things I can count on most
After all these years
Yeah, the two things I know will get me
Through the laughter and the tears
Is you and beer

[Outro]
It's you and beer
