Jim Ed Brown - Longest Beer of the Night Lyrics

(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...
