Todd Snider Beer Run Lyrics

B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
All you need is a ten and a fiver,
a car, and a key, and a sober driver.
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
A couple of frat guys from Abilene
drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
at the KPIG Swine and Soiree Dance.
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants.
They wanted cigs, so to save some money
they got one off a hippie that smelled kinda funny
The next thing they knew they was both really hungry and
pretty thirsty too
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
All you need is a ten and a fiver,
a car, and a key, and a sober driver.
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
They found a store with a sign said their beer was coldest,
so they sent in Brad ('cause he looked the oldest).
He got a case of beer and a candybar,
walked over to where them registers are,
laid his fake I.D. on the countertop.
The clerk looked, he turned, he looked back up, he stopped,
he said, "Son, I'm not gonna call the cops
but I'm gonna have to keep this card."
The guys both took it pretty hard.
CHORUS (MOD)
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
Oh, how happy we would be,
if we'da only brought a better fake I.D.
on this B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
They met this other old hippie named Sleepy John,
who claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song,
so they gave 'im their cash, he bought 'em some brews;
it was a beautiful day in Santa Cruz.
Feelin' so good, shoulda been a crime.
Crowd was cool and the band was prime.
They made it back up to their seats just in time
to sing with all their friends:
"The road goes on forever and the party never ends."
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
All you need is a ten and a fiver,
a car, and a key, and a sober driver.
B, double E, double are-you-in?: beer run.
