Story Behind The Song
David had the song and I didn't know what to do with it at first. Then a line dance kind of mentality became obvious because it was about a bar and having a good time or pretending to anyway.

Lyrics
I'm a man on a mission and I think I see the light
It's a heavenly vision, about 10:00 at night
Bleach blonde and heavy with a tattoo on her arm
Three hours earlier I'd have missed her charms
(Chorus)
One more beer and she'll be pretty
Three more beers and I'll be smart
Five more beers and I'll be over, my dirty little broken heart
I was startled awake by the sound of a snore
She made the loudest sound that I couldn?t ignore
My dog gets up to try and find him some peace
As the morning light shines the truth on me.
(Chorus)
(bridge)
When you first left I was a basket case
Every girl had your face
So I had to do what I had to do
The age old cure is getting me over you
It's 1 in the afternoon and she seems right at home
She talks three hours straight but, she?s still not gone
Got her out by 5 with a promise I would call
And then I?m back at the bar with my beer goggles on
(CHORUS)
