Beers Ago

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 a 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

Seems like yesterday, even though

That was fourteen hundred and fifty two beers ago

Oh

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 and she had a car

I won her heart with my guitar

I sang her the homesick blues

'Bout spending what little bit of money we had

On Wintergreen Skoal and main street gas

Go get your girl, go make a 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

Seems like yesterday, even though

That was fifteen hundred and sixty two beers ago

Oh

We spent what little bit of money we had

On Wintergreen Skoal and main street gas

Go get your girl and go make a 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

Seems like yesterday, even though

That was sixteen hundred and fifty two beers

Whole lot of highway, whole lot of years

Sixteen hundred and fifty three beers ago

Oh
