Lyrics
vs.1
these days,
i cant afford to water my grass
cant afford the paper to wipe my own.. glass
in a world where everything has a price
and the cost of livin is anything but nice
[Bridge]
when the world hits you hard
you can walk in here
and i'll you a beer and say-
[CHORUS]
Drink Dont Drive
cuz beer is cheaper than gas
so have a long neck
down a cold one, breathe deep and relax
when the world hands you lemons
dont make lemonade
Tequilla shots have got it made
when beer is cheaper than gas
have a drink dont drive
vs.2
o plastic money
sure isnt funny
when the bills start to pile up
from the credit companies
I got too many bills,
but plenty of skills,
But no employer to supply
The salary I need to survive.
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
vs.3
my tank is empty
i cant get home,
and the batteries are dead on my cell phone
up ahead there are flashin lights,
where i know i can escape my debt in life
so hand me a cold one
and hand me another
lets raise our glasses high
cuz we know somehow someday we'll get by.
we'll get by---
Drink 1 2 3 Dont Drive
(guitar solo)
Have a long neck-down a cold one
(solo)
When the world hands you lemons
don't make lemonade
tequila shots have got it made
when beer is cheaper than gas (X3)
COME ON!
have a drink dont drive
have yo-self a cold one,
have yo-self a drink..
