It's the simple things in life. But life ain't so simple right
And times get hard and people can make you mad
But I remember when I was young. I couldn't wait to turn twenty one
Sit in the backyard sun and drink beer with dad
Drinking beer with dad, Out there on the back porch swinging
Drinking beer with dad, Picking my guitar and grinning
We'd hem and haw, we'd cuss and fight. But that's where I learned life's best advice
We'd talk about when I was young and bad. Sometimes he'd make me fightin' mad
Best education I ever had. Was out there on the back porch drinking beer with dad
Now a days most things have changed. This whole world is heading down the drain
There's no God in schools. Toting guns is the latest fad
A little discipline would sure be nice. A little lesson in wrong and right
Maybe it's time young man to have a beer with dad
Drinking beer with dad. Out there on the back porch swinging
Drinking beer with dad. Picking my guitar and singing
I'd play him songs all through the night. I'd praise the Lord I saw the light
We'd stay up late and make mom mad. But half the time we'd just laugh and laugh
Some of the best times I ever had. Was out there on the back porch drinking beer with dad
Now son I'm so damn proud of you. And the young man you've turned in-to
You're the best son a father could ever have.
And though your grandpa's done past on. Soon you'll be twenty one.
So come on the back porch son and have a beer with dad
Drinking beer with dad. Out there on the back porch swinging
Drinking beer with dad. Picking our guitars and grinning
We'll hem and haw, we'll cuss and fight. But I'll pass along life's best advice
We'll talk about your old granddad. The things he gave us he never had
I wish forever our time could last. I wish this world wouldn't move so fast
Out here on the back porch. Out here on the back porch drinking beer with dad
Nice!!!!
