Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: Longest Beer of the Night
Lyrics for Album: This Is My Beat! [RCA Victor] [1968]



(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.



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


About Longest Beer of the Night

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns deliver a spirited gospel-rock performance on "Longest Beer of the Night," recorded for RCA Victor in 1968. The track blends traditional Southern gospel harmonies with a driving, upbeat rhythm that reflects the era's fusion of church music and rock and roll. As part of the album *This Is My Beat!*, the recording showcases the group's ability to transform sacred texts into secular anthems, capturing the infectious energy of mid-1960s gospel acts. The song stands as a testament to the genre's adaptability, where spiritual fervor meets the lively, communal spirit of the times. Its enduring appeal lies in its catchy melody and the group's distinctive vocal style, making it a significant song in the broader landscape of gospel music history.
