about

This song came about when I was explaining my song writing process and how a song could literally be about anything, like, "I'm gonna drink this beer" as I held a beer in my hand and was waving it around for emphasis.

lyrics

| D G A D G A |
Bm G
Some have said I’m sitting here
A D
Making my life a waste
Bm G
Some have said my drinkin’ ways
A D
Maybe should be reappraised
Bm G
Some have said it’s sad to see
A D
And my end is drawing near
Bm G
What they all don’t understand
A D
Is that I’m gonna drink this beer

Chorus
D G
I’m gonna drink this beer
A D
Gonna keep on drinkin’ ‘til my head is clear
D G
I’m gonna drink this beer
A D
Then I’ll have me another round.

But let me tell ya…
Bm G
All them folks are so stressed out
A D
Now, from the Internet
Bm G
All the stress and anxiety
A D
I’d just as soon forget
Bm G
The evening news is only designed
A D
To instill a sense of fear
Bm G
You can tune in or be like me
A D
And have another beer
Chorus
| D |
Bridge
A G
I don’t have a judgment or worry
A D
Or - care about being harassed
A F#
All I care about right now
G D7
Is what’s inside my glass

Chorus (x2)
D G
We’re gonna drink this beer
A D
Gonna keep on drinkin’ ‘til our head is clear
D G
We’re gonna drink this beer
A D
Then we’ll have us another round.

Outro (x2)
D G
We’re gonna drink this beer
A D
Gonna keep on drinkin’, keep on drinkin’
D G
Yeah, we’re gonna drink this beer
A D
Then we’ll have us another round.
