[Verse 1]
G
Well, I like a full bodied lager as much as the next hard workin' man,
G
The taste of suds, while dealin' stud, I can surely understand,

The trucker speed, and yes indeed, it's nearly gettin light,

FG
We’ve been drinkin’ beer all night!

Smoke your grass, and fish for bass, and burn that purple gas

Well, it's time to switch to whiskey
FG
We’ve been drinkin’ beer all night!

G
I've been splittin' eights and hittin' m'straights in card rooms of the world
G
Chasing skirt and gettin' hurt, but now I got a card playin' girl
