The Longest Beer Of The Night

This is the longest beer of the night and in the East I think I see some light
And pretty soon I know the sun will shine and I know a bar that opens promptly at nine?at nine

I guess two six-packs wasn't enough 'cause right about now the going really gets rough
And some early bird is happy calling his mate and I wish I knew a bar that opened promptly at eight

Maybe I was just a fool thinking I could drown you outta my mind
But the longest part of the day is just before nine, before nine

I can see the dew that's settling onto the ground and if I'm not careful your mem'ry's gonna come 'round
And that's the reason I just gotta stay tight, so I'm just nursing the longest beer of the night
Yeah, I'm nursing the longest beer of the night
