Story Behind The Song
A friend came over one night who had just recently been divorced. We were picking on the front porch when he staggerd up moping about his wife and all his possessions he had lost. All of the sudden, a big smile appeared on his face as he stated, "At least I got my beer. She can't take that from me." Thus came the idea for the song.

Lyrics
She got the house. I got the beer.
She drives a mercedes. I drive a John Deere.
She maxed out my credit cards,
Threw my clothes in the yard.
She said you don't live here,
But I've got my beer.
Now when I drive by, I always stare.
I get sentimental. My eyes start to tear.
I know she don't love me.
But I'll always care.
I'll just reach in my cooler,
Drink another cold beer.
She said she didn't love me and I'm not having an affair
She said I ruined her from all men, she'ld ratther stay clear
She's got that wild look in her eye. I'm just a little bit scared.
I know what she's after
She wants my cold beer.
Now when I grow old, I won't be alone
And when I get sick, I'll call her on the phone.
She'll say have no fear, I'll be right there
I'll eat some warm soup, wash it down with cold beer
I'll eat some warm soup, wash it down with cold beer.
