Drinking Beer With Dad

It's the simple things in life but life ain't so simple right?

Times get hard and people can make you mad

But I remember when I was young I couldn't wait to turn 21

To sit in the backyard sun and drink beer with dad

Drinking beer with dad

Out there on the back porch swinging

Drinking beer with dad

Picking my guitar and grinning

We'd hem and haw, we'd cuss and fight

But that's where I learned life's best advice

We'd talk about when I was young and bad

Sometimes he'd make me fighting mad

The best education I ever had

Was out there on the back porch drinking beer with dad

Nowadays most things have changed

This whole world is heading down the drain

There's no God in schools, totin' guns is the latest fad

A little discipline would sure be nice

A little lesson in wrong and right

Maybe it's time young man to have a beer with dad

Drinking beer with dad

Out there on the back porch swinging

Drinking beer with dad

Picking my guitar and swinging

I'd play him songs all through the night

Like praise the Lord I saw the light

We'd stay up late and make mom mad

But half the time we'd just laugh and laugh

Some of the best times I ever had

I been on the back porch drinking beer with dad

Now son I'm so damn proud of you

And the young man you've turned into

You're the best son a father could ever have

And though your grandpa's done past on

Soon you'll be 21

So come on the back porch son and have a beer with dad

Drinking beer with dad

Out there on the back porch swinging

Drinking beer with dad

Picking my guitar and grinning

We'll hem and haw, we'll cuss and fight

But I'll pass along life's best advice

We'll talk about your old granddad

The things he gave us he never had

I wish forever our time could last

I wish this world wouldn't move so fast

Out here on the back porch

Out here on the back porch

Drinking beer with dad
