Well, my buddy once told me, "boy, you got a good tune

No, it ain't somethin' I can tap my boots to

You're playin' the guitar just too damn slow

Like songs about heartache is all you know"

I told him, "oh man, I can't figure it out

Won't you tell me the kind of song you wanna hear about?"

And he looked at me strange and he said somethin' weird

And this is what he whispered in my ear, oh woah...

"Give me a song about beer cans and whiskey bottles

Backroads, pasture parties

Loose women, tight jeans

The texas country music scene

Bull fightin', bronc ridin'

Raisin' hell, done been to jail

The smoky bars I came to see

I need a song to play to get me through this day

If you wanna know the truth

All I really want

Is a song I can drink to".

I got on stage, ready to play my first show

I grabbed my guitar, reset the capo

Asked my band what they wanted to play

And I could tell by the fear and the look on their face

I told the crowd, "here's a song that you ain't heard

But by the end of the night, you'll know every single word

And by the end of the night, you'll know every single word".

To a song about beer cans and whiskey bottles

Backroads, pasture parties

Loose women, tight jeans

The texas country music scene

Bull fightin', bronc ridin'

Raisin' hell, done been to jail

The smoky bars I came to see

I need a song to play to get me through this day

If you wanna know the truth

All I really want

Is a song I can drink to.

Give me a song about beer cans and whiskey bottles

Yeah, them backroads, pasture parties

Oh, them loose, naughty women in them tight fittin' jeans

And you know you can't forget about that texas music scene.

Give me a song about beer cans and whiskey bottles

Backroads, pasture parties

Loose women, tight jeans

The texas country music scene

Bull fightin', bronc ridin'

Raisin' hell, done been to jail

The smoky bars I came to see

I need a song to play to get me through this day

If you wanna know the truth

All I really want

Is a song I can drink to

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Give me a song I can drink to.
