Beers Ago - American Country Hits

I had a hand me down

Ride painted rattle can red

Second hand tires with poor boy tread

Made a lot of almost love in the bed of that

Truck that got stuck a lot

Just letter jacket boys singing Jerry Jeff songs

Drinking everything we could get our hands on

Learning 'bout right by doin' it wrong

Hopin' we didn't get caught

And we spent what little bit of money we had

On wintergreen Skoal and main street gas

Go get your girl' go make the drag

If you're lucky you

Can take her cross the rail road tracks

Where the man in the moon works his magic

On the second runner up of the 4H pageant

Seems like yesterday' even though

That was fourteen hundred

And fifty two beers ago

Skipped that town on my birthday

For eighteen years I was headed that way

Where old red stopped I just stayed

In a room without a view

I met a one look girl in a two bit bar

I had a place' she had a car

I won her heart with my guitar

I sang her the homesick blues 'bout

Spendin' what little bit of money we had

On wintergreen Skoal and main street gas

Go get your girl' go make the drag

If you're lucky you can take

Her cross the railroad tracks

Where the man in the moon works his magic

On the second runner up of the 4H pageant

It seems like yesterday' even though

That was fifteen hundred

And sixty two beers ago

Spendin' what little bit of money we had

On wintergreen Skoal and main street gas

And go get your girl and go make the drag

If you're lucky you can

Take her cross the railroad tracks

Where the man in the moon works his magic

On the second runner up of the 4H pageant

It seems like yesterday' even though

That was sixteen hundred and fifty two beers

A whole lot of highway' a whole lot of years

Sixteen hundred and fifty three beers ago
