  • That old familiar, meant to kill ya, middle finger, rearview mirror
    Supposed to make a country boy sad
    I should be in my recliner, whiskey typing up one liners
    Crying, trying to get you back
    Yeah, I know how that country song goes
    I'm supposed to be heartbroke

    But I got a beer in my hand, and I got it raised up high
    I ain't got a give in my damn right, I can do this all night
    Country done came to town, this town don't stand a chance
    I'll holler at the ladies, dancing like crazy
    New Luccheses, fresh up out the deer stand
    Feeling this high, wasn't part of my plan
    Wasn't even gonna try
    But I got a beer in my hand

    The bands playing David Lee Murphy, party crowd, it's party thirty
    Lawdy mercy, I'm feelin' good
    And I'm bettin' you're bettin', that I'm a wreck and you reckon
    I'll call you up any second and I would

    But I got a beer in my hand, and I got it raised up high
    I ain't got a give in my damn right, I can do this all night
    Country done came to town, this town don't stand a chance
    I'll holler at the ladies, dancing like crazy
    New Luccheses, fresh up out the deer stand
    Feeling this high wasn't part of my plan
    Wasn't even gonna try
    But I got a beer in my hand

    I meant to miss you
    Oops, my bad
    I meant to be blue

    But I got a beer in my hand, and I got it raised up high
    I ain't got a give in my damn right, I'm gon' do this all night
    Country done came to town, this town don't stand a chance
    I'll holler at the ladies, dancing like crazy
    New Luccheses, fresh up out the deer stand
    Feeling this high wasn't part of my plan
    Wasn't even gonna try
    But I got a beer in my hand
