Lyrics
COPYRWRITE 1977/2002 JERRY CAESAR
ALL INSTRUMENTS/VOCALS BY J.C.
I COULD GO AWAY FOR A YEAR...WITH THE MONEY I'VE SPENT ON BEER copywrite 2002
(SPOKEN )- THIS IS A DEDICATION TO ALL THE BEER DRINKERS IN THE WORLD...
VERSE ONE:
LOOKS LIKE FRIDAY NIGHT HAS COME AGAIN...AND WHEN YOU'RE DRINKIN' BEER THERE IS NO END...
SOMETIMES I GET THE FEELIN'
MY HEAD'S UP ON THE CEILING'
IT LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE CRAWLIN' HOME AGAIN.
1ST CHORUS:
WELL I COULD GO AWAY FOR A YEAR
WITH THE MONEY I SPENT ON BEER...
ALL THAT SENSELESS DRINKIN' EVERY NIGHT.
WELL I SURE COULD SAVE SOME MONEY - BUT ITS REALLY KIND OF FUNNY -
I REALLY LIKE THIS CRAZY KIND OF LIFE.
VERSE TWO:
WELL i GO OUT DRINKIN' MOST EVERY NIGHT -
AFTER A HARD DAY'S WORK, IT JUST SEEMS RIGHT.
AND SOMETIMES I GET TO THINKIN'
THAT ALL THIS SENSELESS DRINKIN'
WILL HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER NIGHT.
VERSE THREE:
ON SATURDAY NIGHT I LIKE TO LET IT GO-
BY MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY MY MONEY'S LOW...
WELL I SAY I'M JUST A TASTIN'
BUT I'M REALLY ONLY WASTIN'
AND ALL MY HARD EARNED MONEY - I WILL BLOW.
2ND CHORUS
WELL I COULD GO AWAY FOR A YEAR
WITH THE MONEY I SPENT ON BEER
ALL THAT FUN AND DRINKIN EVERY NIGHT.
WELL I COULD GO ON VACATION -
ALL ACROSS THE NATION...
BUT I JUST WON'T GIVE UP MY CRAZY LIFE.
**
WELL I'M JUST AN AVERAGE GUY...
I'M LIVIN OUT MY LIFE...
AND DOIN' ALL THE THINGS THE BEST I CAN.
BUT WHEN ITS QUITTIN' TIME-
I'M NEVER LEFT BEHIND -
I HEAD RIGHT FOR THE TAVERN AGAIN...
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK OR VERSE FOUR
VERSE FOUR
ON THE WEEK DAY NIGHTS THERE'S NO WHERE TO GO -
YOU END UP AT THE BAR AND THINGS LOOK SLOW...
WELL MAYBE ITS THE TASTE
THAT'S PUT POUNDS AROUND MY WAIST...
WHY I GO ON DRINKIN' - I DON'T KNOW
3RD CHORUS
WELL I COULD GO AWAY FOR A YEAR
WITH THE MONEY I SPENT ON BEER.
ALL THAT SENSELESS DRINKIN' EVERY NIGHT.
FROM FLORIDA TO ALASKA
THEN I'LL WANDER THROUGH NEBRASKA...
I'LL MAKE A STOP AT EVERY NEON LIGHT.
4TH CHORUS
WELL I COULD GO AWAY FOR A YEAR
WITH THE MONEY I SPENT ON BEER
ALL THAT SENSELESS DRINKIN' EVERY NIGHT.
WELL I SURE COULD SAVE SOME MONEY -
BUT ITS REALLY KIND OF FUNNY...
I REALLY LIKE THIS CRAZY KIND OF LIFE.
