lyrics

Beer
by Doug Midgley, Bill Metcalf, John Ashcraft

I like you much as I love beer
I ain't never said that to no woman before
No girl but you do I like that much, dear
You both lay me out on the floor

I like country music and I like baseball
I like when Independence Day is near
I like when you refuse it, I like when you abuse it
I like you as much as I love beer
 
Now Lone Star and me've been good friends for sometime
We met when I was just thirteen
And ever since that day I've had beer on my mind
And chronic oxidation in my spleen

I like you much as I love beer
I ain't never said that to no woman before
No girl but you do I like that much, dear
You both keep my crawling back for more
You both lay me out on the floor

Well, I might be late for dinner
And hell, I'm always late for work
I don't always make it all the way to bed
And I swear I don't remember
And I'm feeling like a jerk
But this is what she told me that I said

I like you much as I love beer
I ain't never said that to no woman before
No girl but you do I like that much, dear
You both keep me crawling back for more
You both lay me out on the floor
You both keep me running to the store
