Story behind the song
Based on a true story. Every time you ask a drunk guy how much he's had to drink, it's "a couple of beers". Yeah, the ending's hokey, but so what.
Lyrics
A Couple of Beers
1. It was a night in June, it was really hot,
As I walked in from the parkin' lot,
I saw Medic 7 sittin' in the ambulance bay.
I said, "What's up?"
They said, "This old boy
Done rolled his car."
2. "He swerved in the road tryin' to miss a squirrel,
He was wearin' his seat belt & so was the girl
That was with him. But he was actin' kinda strange.
Like in and out of consciousness.
So we put him on a backboard,
And brought him in."
3. Well, I know beer, and I know wine,
This kid smelled like he'd been to O'Bryan's.
I said, "Son, have you been drinkin'?"
He said, "No, doc.
Just a couple of beers
Back in Lamesa."
Chorus
Just a couple of beers,
Just a couple of beers.
That's all anybody ever has is a couple of beers.
All I ever hear,
Is "Just a couple of beers.
That squirrel caused the wreck, but it damn sure weren't no beer."
4. So we scanned his head and X-rayed the rest,
Checked a urine for blood and did an alcohol test,
Them beers he drank musta been mighty big.
Point one six.
Enough for two
DWIs.
5. After we got done irradiating him,
I sewed up a couple of cuts on his chin,
Then the deputy slapped on the cuffs & hauled him away.
He'll do some time,
Pay a big fine,
And maybe he'll learn to count to two.
6. Now, if you're plannin' on lubin' your brain,
Remember this song and please refrain
From gettin' behind the controls of an automobile.
We laugh now,
But it ain't so funny
When drunk drivers kill.
Chorus
Just a couple of beers,
Just a couple of beers.
That's all anybody ever has is a couple of beers.
All I ever hear,
Is "Just a couple of beers.
That squirrel killed your son, but it damn sure weren't no beer."
