Needing a Beer

Here's to the daddies who drive 'em big ole trucks

Doing what they've gotta do to fill their babies' bellies up

And here's to the mamas who hold the fort down while they're gone

Making those miles all worthwhile when they get back home

And here's to the teachers who are up at the crack of dawn

Learning our little ones to read and write, showing them right from wrong

And here's to the doctors who save the little boys and girls

Who you never know, might one day grow up to save the world

And here's to the one who ain't in here tonight

Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just looking up that neon light

They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives

Lord knows they'd rather be right here

So here's to all the ones out there somewhere

Needing a beer

Here's to the farmer who was gonna come out tonight

But there's hay on the ground and it's gonna pour down and he's running outta light

And here's to the banker who gave him a few more weeks

'Cause he knows a man who knows that hard can't lose no more sleep

And here's to the one who ain't in here tonight

Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just looking up that neon light

They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives

Lord knows they'd rather be right here

So here's to all the ones out there somewhere

Needing a beer

To all you unsung heroes

We owe you a round

I'll buy one for you next time

And I'll drink one for you now

Here's to the one who ain't in here tonight

Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just looking up that neon light

They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives

Lord knows they'd rather be right here

So here's to all the ones out there somewhere

Needing a beer
