Longest Beer of the Night

(Carson C. Parks)



This is the longest beer of the night

But in the east I think I see some light

And then pretty soon I know the sun will shine

I know a bar that opens promptly at nine at nine.



I guess two six packs wasn't enough

'Cause right about now the goin' really gets rough

Yeah, and some early bird is happy calling it's mate

And I wish I knew a bar that opens door so promptly at eight.



Maybe I was just a fool thinking

I could drown you out of my mind

But the longest part of the day

Is just before nine, before nine.



I can see the dew that settle on the ground ha ha ha

And if I'm not careful your mem'ry's gonna come around

And that's the reason that I just gotta stay tight

So, I'm just nursin' the longest beer of the night.
