Todd Snider Beer Run Lyrics

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 five-er,

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-pei swine and sworay dance-

they wore baseball caps and khaki pants-

they wanted cigarettes-so to save a little money-

they got one from this hippie who smelt kina funny

and-next thing they knew they were both pretty hungry-

and pretty thirsty tooo

B-double E double R U-N-beer run

B-double E double R U-N-beer ru-unn



all we need is a ten and five-er,

car and key and a sober driver,

B-double E double R U-N-beer run



found a store with a sign-said 

there 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

layed his fake id on the countertop

the clerk looked, he turned up, he looked he stopped.

he said "son, I'm not gonna call the cops, but im gonna 

have to keep this card"-

the guys both took it pretty haard

B-double E double R U-N-beer run

B-double E double R U-N-beer ru-un



oh how happy we would be-

had we only brought a better fake id

B-double E double R U-N-beer run



they found this nother old hippie named

sleepie john-claimed to be the one from the Robert

Earl Keen song

so they gave him all their cash-he bought em some brew

-was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz

they were 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

so they could sing with all their friends

they sang-"the rode goes on forever and the party

never eends"

B-double E double R U-N-beer run



all we need is a ten and a five-er car and 

key and a sober driver 

B-double E double R U-N-beer run
