People Are Crazy

This old man and me We're at the bar and we We're havin' us some beers and Swappin' "I don't cares" Talkin' politics Blonde and redhead chicks Old dogs and new tricks, and Habits we ain't kicked We talked about God's grace And all the Hell we raised Then I heard the old man say God is great, beer is good And people are crazy He said I fought two wars Been married and divorced What brings you to Ohio? He said, "Damned if I know" We talked an hour or two About every girl we knew What all we put 'em through Like two old boys will do We pondered life and death He lit a cigarette Said, "These damn things will kill me yet" But God is great, beer is good And people are crazy Last call is 2 a.m. I said goodbye to him I never talked to him again Then one sunny day I saw the old man's face Front page obituary He was a millionaire-y He left his fortune to Some guy he barely knew His kids were mad as hell Huh, but me, I'm doing well And I drop by today To just say thanks and pray And I left a six-pack right there on his grave And I said God is great, beer is good And people are crazy God is great, beer is good And people are crazy God is great, beer is good And people are crazy
