Beer before liquor, yeah you've never been sicker Just down home boys staying up all night Cops were pretty quick, yeah, but we were always quicker Burning up the road 'til the tank ran dry Whoa, yeah, whoa, yeah Hand me down guitar, handful of friends

Oh oh oh lovin' lovin' what you do I could do this all day Long as you by my side We don't care what they say Everything will be alright Always up never down Every time you around Whenever you say my name Oh I love the way it sound
