Sitting on the front porch With a cold beer in my hand Catching shade from the neighbors They can't seem to understand I tried to do it their way And their way ain't much fun They'll still be unhappy After all the drinking's done My yard looks like it's dying My house could use some paint Sure as hell done trying To be something that I ain't I tried to do it their way And their way ain't much fun The work will still be waiting After all the drinking's done After all the drinking's done I'll be doing fine After all the drinking's done You won't be on my mind Gonna head down to the tavern Where the party never ends Long as I'm still buying There's no shortage of good friends I tried to do it their way And their way ain't much fun Friends will turn to strangers After all the drinking's done
