lyrics

(A MAN CAN'T LIVE ON) BEER ALONE
(Kurt Fortmeyer)

I’ve got a big old hollow place that I’ve tried hard to fill
With all the beer that I could drink and manage not to spill
I could buy every can and bottle at the Kwik-Pak-istani store
But that empty feeling deep inside still needs something more

A man can’t live on beer alone
He needs a little company
When I want to have a few
This is where I like to be
My home sweet home away from home
I hope this feeling never ends
A man can’t live on beer alone
That’s why I drink with friends

That’s Rhonda back behind the bar she’s working hard for tips
She’ll give you a PBR but she won’t take no lip
There’s Mater, and there’s Brigitte, and the guy we all call Big G
They’re each and every one a part of what makes my life complete

A man can’t live on beer alone
He needs a little company
When I want to have a few
This is where I like to be
My home sweet home away from home
I hope this feeling never ends
A man can’t live on beer alone
That’s why I drink with friends

Woody puts a dollar in the jukebox
He plays that new Dale Watson song
With an ice cold brew and the regular crew
I’m right where I belong

At my home sweet home away from home
I hope this feeling never ends
A man can’t live on beer alone
That’s why I drink with friends
No a man can’t live on beer alone
That’s why I drink with friends
