Longest Beer Of The Night

This is the longest beer of the night

and in the East I think I see some light,

And pretty soon I know the sun will shine

and 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

And some early bird is happy callin' his mate

and I wish I knew a bar that opened promptly at eight.

Maybe I was just a fool thinkin'

I could drown you outa my mind but the longest part of the day

is just before nine:before nine.

I can see the dew that's settlin' onto the ground

and if I'm not careful your mem'ry's gonna come 'round

And that's the reason I just gotta stay tight,

so I'm just nursin' the longest beer of the night.

Yeah, I'm nursin' the longest beer of the night.
