It goes down smooth, puts you in a good mood

Starts your day off right, helps you make it till noon

Ease on back to work, yes ma'am and yes sir

Take your break in the truck 'cause your ol' back hurts.

Back home, you'll have to have a few

And just to get you through the evening news.

Beer for breakfast

Beer for lunch

Beer for supper

It just ain't enough

It makes a mighty good nightcap

When your day's been rough

Aw, and in the morning instead of coffee and eggs

I'll have beer for breakfast.

When you're mowing the yard, working on baby's car

Getting your honky-tonk on to a steel guitar

And if you're casting a line, got troubles on your mind

It can help any day long as it ends in y.

Beer for breakfast

Beer for lunch

Beer for supper

It just ain't enough

It makes a mighty good nightcap

When your day's been rough

Aw, and in the morning instead of coffee and eggs

I'll have beer for breakfast.

Hey, it goes good with fighting and loving

Beats anything you can cook in an oven.

Beer for breakfast

Beer for lunch

Beer for supper

It just ain't enough

It makes a mighty good nightcap

When your day's been rough

Aw, and in the morning instead of coffee and eggs

I'll have beer for breakfast.

I said, in the morning instead of coffee and eggs

I'll have beer for breakfast.
