Two Beers

It's been too many years
Since we'd sit round that fire
Growing old
Two beers was just enough
To bring out stories
That we never should have told
Then I'd look across the flames to see
A smile that hide any shade of blue
But now blues the first thing on my mind
Whenever someone brings up you

I saw you just a week ago
You crossed the street
In your downtown shoes
When I asked you how you've been
You held a laugh as if
I knew what you're up to
Then my eye caught the powder
On your collar
That you said you'd quit before
Or at least that's what you told me
On the night I found you passed out
On my floor

Wont you take me back to the days
When two beers had us mowed
And the only white lines we were chasin'
Were down Snows Mill Road
We were young and we were dumb
The whole world at our feet
A burnin' fire and time to kill
Was the only thing we'd need

You can't tell me you've forgotten
All the late nights we snuck out
And smoked cigars
On that rooftop with a Red Man in
Our backs so cold from
Counting shooting stars
Then some headlights round the corner
As they lit our face
We'd make a run for home
Oh I'd give up all I own to have
A night like that with them boys
Just once more

Wont you take me back to the days
When two beers had us mowed
And the only white lines we were chasin'
Were down Snows Mill Road
We were young and we were dumb
The whole world at our feet
A burnin' fire and time to kill
Was the only thing we'd need

It's been too many years
Since we'd sit round that fire
Growing old
Two beers was just enough
To bring out stories
That we never should have told
Then I'd look across the flames to see
A smile that hide any shade of blue
But now blues the first thing on my mind
Whenever someone brings up you
