I ain't tryin to be no jerk

It's just that I just got off from work

And I know you'd like to bend my ear

I wanna listen and that's sincere

Can't a fella have just one beer

[Chorus]

Before the boss, the bank, the box full of bills

Empty gas tank and it's all uphill

The wife, the kids, why do we all exist?

Add politics, religion and war to the list

Tell me, is there anything that I missed?

And I'll get to the bottom of that

After I get to the bottom of this

Well I look outside and see a world on fire

They're lowering the boom and the creeks gettin' higher

Gotta be ready cause we're on the brink

I'll do better after just one drink

Gimme a minute so I can unthink

[Chorus]

About the boss, the bank, the box full of bills

Empty gas tank and it's all uphill

The wife, the kids, why do we all exist?

Add politics religion and war to the list

Tell me, is there anything that I missed?

And I'll get to the bottom of that

After I get to the bottom of this

Gotta be ready cause we're on the brink

I'll do better after just one drink

Gimme a minute so I can unthink

[Chorus]
