Todd Snider Beer Run Lyrics

B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!
B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!
All we need is a ten and fiver,
A car and key and a sober driver,
B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!

A couple of frat guys from Abilene
Drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
At the K-Pig Swine and Soireé dance
Wore baseball caps, 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 R U-N...BEER RUN!
B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!
All we need is a ten and fiver,
A car and key and a sober driver,
B- double E -double R U-N...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 candy bar
Walked over to where all them registers are
Laid his fake ID on the counter-top
The clerk looked, he turned, he looked back, he stopped.
He said "Son, I ain't callin' the cops,
But, I am keepin' this card."
The guys took it hard!

B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!
B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!
Oh, how happy we would be,
Had we only brought a better fake ID
B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!

They met this other old hippie named Sleepy John
He claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song
So, they gave him their cash; he bought 'em brews
It' a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
They was feelin' so good it shoulda been a crime
The crowd was cool and the band was prime
They made it back up front 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 R U-N...BEER RUN!
B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!
All we need is a ten and fiver,
A car and key and a sober driver,
B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!

Said: B- double E -double R U-N...BEER RUN!
