Paid for Drinking Beer
Came up short last week
And that ain't the first time
It's a curse when you're hurtin'
And you're stuck workin' for the man
It's 40 long hours
That led me to this bar stool
As he pours me another
I say, "Hey, brother
I got me the perfect plan"
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
All my problems would disappear
'Cause my bank account
Would be full as that next glass
Be makin' money
I wouldn't complain
'Cause the more I drink
The more I'd make
From the open sign
'Til closing time
I'd be employee of the year
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
Guess I'd wake up around nine o'clock
And start knockin' 'em back 'round ten (knockin' 'em back 'round ten)
Hell, if I know me, I'm gonna overachieve
Over and over again
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
All my problems would disappear
'Cause my bank account
Would be full as that next glass
Be makin' money
I wouldn't complain
'Cause the more I drink
The more I'd make
From the open sign
'Til closing time
I'd be employee of the year
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
And if I got that job
I'd never need another
I'd have a pile of deadlines
And a mile of quotas to make
'Cause I'm a thirsty man
I tell ya, I got it covered
Won't need a lunch break
Never take a holiday
Go in early and stay back late
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
All my problems would disappear
'Cause my bank account
Would be full as that next glass
Be makin' money
I wouldn't complain
'Cause the more I drink
The more I'd make
From the open sign
'Til closing time
I'd be employee of the year
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
And that ain't the first time
It's a curse when you're hurtin'
And you're stuck workin' for the man
It's 40 long hours
That led me to this bar stool
As he pours me another
I say, "Hey, brother
I got me the perfect plan"
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
All my problems would disappear
'Cause my bank account
Would be full as that next glass
Be makin' money
I wouldn't complain
'Cause the more I drink
The more I'd make
From the open sign
'Til closing time
I'd be employee of the year
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin' beer

Hell, if I know me, I'm gonna overachieve
Over and over again

If I got paid for drinkin' beer
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin' beer
