Two Beers Away

(album: Hey Joe! Hey Moe! - 1981)

I'm two beers away from a beautiful day
After a night on the town
Just two beers away from a beautiful day
If I can just keep 'em down

I woke up this morning with moss on my tongue
My head sounding just like a cave
Trying to remember the things that I done
I wish I would learn to behave

I jumped like a rabbit when I heard that alarm
Time to get back in the race
Two cans of breakfast won't do me no harm
I'll shave when I find my face

I'm two beers away from a beautiful day
After a night on the town
Just two beers away from a beautiful day
If I can just keep 'em down

The newsman is saying conditions are poor
The weatherman says it might rain
Well, I know the causes and I know the cure
For all this self-inflicted pain

I'm two beers away from a beautiful day
After a night on the town
Just two beers away from a beautiful day
If I can just keep 'em down

If you're healthy and happy take my advice
What's good for me ain't for you
Stay with your diet of water and ice
Right now we've got something to do

I'm two beers away from a beautiful day
After a night on the town
Just two beers away from a beautiful day
If I can just keep 'em down

I'm two beers away from a beautiful day
After a night on the town
Just two beers away from a beautiful day
If I can just keep 'em down...
