Born With A Beer In My Hand

(album: One Thing At A Time - 2023)

Granddaddy drank heavy and daddy drank light
I can turn any day to Saturday night if I want to
And most the time I want to

I can still paint a picture of a hemlock view
My mountains had smoke, but the ones that were blue that we'd buy then
Were the ones I spent a little more time in

Between the hangovers and the handcuffs
It's been a minute since I've had one in my hand 'cause

Everybody says it's gonna be the death of me
But these days I'm living on the side of alive
Just 'cause I smile through my sobriety
Don't mean it ain't chilling in the back of my mind
I ain't saying I swore it off for good
I'm just saying I'm doing the best I can
But what do you expect from a redneck?
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand

When I was putting 'em down, they put me through hell
Put some scars on some trucks, myself as well
But if I never did put that can to my mouth
I wouldn't have nothing I could sing about, yeah

Everybody says it's gonna be the death of me
But these days I'm living on the side of alive
Just 'cause I smile through my sobriety
Don't mean it ain't chilling in the back of my mind
I ain't saying I swore it off for good
I'm just saying I'm doing the best I can
But what do you expect from a redneck?
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand
Ah yeah, I was born with a beer in my hand

Whoa
I ain't the devil that I acted like years ago
Oh
But I'll be back one day, y'all, even though

Everybody says it's gonna be the death of me
But these days I'm living on the side of alive
Just 'cause I smile through my sobriety
Don't mean it ain't chilling in the back of my mind
I ain't saying I swore it off for good
I'm just saying I'm doing the best I can
But what do you expect from a redneck?
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand

Ah yeah, I was born with a beer in my hand
Born with a beer in my hand
