Back in a time when they called a bar a saloon I wouldn't have lasted a day Standing in a dirt street, hand shaking at high noon All 'cause of something I guess you're not supposed to say But I'm here and I'm doing Better than okay And I've been let down once or twice Paid some bills and I paid the price There're two things I can count on most After all these years You And beer 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 Light And see if they still care And I've been let down once or twice Paid some bills and I've paid the price There're two things I can count on most After all these years You And beer I hold you in the morning And a beer at the end of the day Both of you on a Friday night While we're dancing our troubles away Then we do it all again on Saturday And I've been let down once or twice Paid my dues and I'm doing 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 It's you And beer It's you And beer
