Beer Run Song

Post by XtremeBarware.com »

B-double E double R U-N beer run

all we need is a ten and five-er,
a car and key and a undrunk driver.

A couple of frat guys from Abilene
drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
at the KPIG Swine and Sworea Dance.
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants.
They wanted cigarettes, so to save a little money they bought one off this hippie that smelled kinda funny.
And next thing they knew they were both pretty hungry and pretty thirsty too

They found a store with a sign that said
their beer was coldest.
So they sent in Brad 'cause he looked the oldest.
He got a case of beer and a candy bar, walked over to where all the registers are
laid his fake I.D. on the counter top.
The clerk looked, and turned to look back up and stopped.
He said "Son, I ain't gonna call the cops, but I'm gonna have to keep this card"
the guys both took it pretty hard.

oh how happy we would be-
had we only brought a better fake I.D.

They met another old hippie named
Sleepy John, claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song.
So they gave him all their cash-he bought em some brews.
Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
They were feelin' so good it shoulda been a crime.
The crowd was cool, and the band was prime.
They made it back up front to their seats just in time to they could sing with all their friends "the road goes on forever
and the party never ends".

Todd Snider has a bunch of good drinking songs. Two of my other favorites are Alright Guy and I Can Drink Any Woman Pretty.

RIP Mayhem, as long as I have a heart you are in it.

Todd Snider is awesome. The first time I saw him, in his favorite town of Santa Cruz, was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Fall 2004, I had just moved out there and had $40 to my name. My boy Bruce told me I had to see him. The tickets were $20. So I spent half of my net worth on that ticket. It was a wise decision. It was just Todd and his guitar, and he killed it. I've seen him 3 times since then, and that first one was still the best one. I think he turns it up a notch for Santa Cruz, as the Beer Run song is about the town. KPIG is an excellent country/Americana station out of the Cruz. Fuck I miss that town.

Poinbt of order. The admins should make a thread/sub-forum for advertisers. Like our new friend xtremebarware.comfizzle.

His post was, obvioulsy, just to drive business to his websie (fine) but let's keep it out of the mainstream.


BTW - you owe us all drinks. As you are business I'd like a triple Johnny Walker Blue on ONE rock.

Try this one from Pat Daily:

You shoulda seen me last night
when I fell down laughin'
and I stumbled down a flight of metal stairs.

I went crashin' through the window
at the VFW hall and
tumbled over a pile of metal chairs.

I cussed out my girlfriend, tried to feel up her mom.
I wrecked my car, I think I bruised my spine.

Oh you ought to go with me when I go out drinkin'
I always have myself a real good time.

I got drunk and stole this boat out of the, edgewater yacht club,
doin' ninety miles an hour up to the bay.
I sunk her up by Buckeye point and walked on in to town,
and tore up someone's flowers on the way.

Then I barged into the crew's nest,
and I threw up on the rug.
I slapped that hostess on her big behind.

Oh you ought to go with me when I go out drinkin'
I always have myself a real good time.

I talk dirty to the waitress
and I never, ever leave her no tip.
I leave her all my roaches
in the guacamole dip.

Oh you ought to go with me when I go out drinkin'
I always have myself a real good time.

So I'm goin' out tonight, and I'm gonna tie on a good one.
Does anybody here wanna go out drinkin' with me?
(YEAH!)
I'll take you to a biker bar, where we can kick some ass.
And a gay bar, we'll get our drinks for free.

We'll do shooters of tequila and a case of beer apiece.
We'll wash it down with a gallon of cheap island wine.

Oh you ought to go with me when I go out drinkin'
I always have myself a real good time.

I like to shout out loud and moon the crowd,
while I'm dancin' on the bar.
And go out in the parking lot and piss on all the cars.

Oh you ought to go with me when I go out drinkin'
I always have myself a real good time.
"Jeff, we went through four cases of beer"
"Yeah?"
"Well, that means you drank 1, I drank 1, Andy drank 1 and Jim drank 1"
"Okay so you can still do basic math..."
"But the sun isn't even down yet and we need more beer"

I like the Gareth Brooks/George Jones version: (Keith Anderson singing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfuQCCG6Le4 I know, Youtube is an ass.)

Twenty-five minutes past quitting time
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
It's a B-double E-double R U N?

My buddies and their babies letting down their hair
As long as we're together is don't matter where
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
Knowing half the fun is in the getting there
Aztec, long necks, paychecks spent
Oh, it's a B-double E-double R U N?

I can't stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
Whan they made this county dry
I got a week-long thirst
And to make it worse
Lord, it's my turn to drive

Laughing and bragging and a' carrying on
We loaded up the wagons and we headed home
I guess half a dozen cases doesn't last that long
Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone
Them, it's turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a B-double E-double R U N?
"Don't give a damn how this turns out
Drain bottles just to scream and shout
On the run from reality
Poison helps me and go flee"

I played the Todd version at open mic last night, I have at least one new fan.
Seen the man twice and had a bootleg of "Beer Run" before it was released which is how I learned the song. I will be at the Boulder show next month. Remember, it's now what drugs you are strung out on, it's whose.
