Lyrics

FREE BEER Buc Williams, Ray Heist 2015(ASCAP)

(V1)
As I was cleanin' out a closet I came across my old guitar
It started bringin' back fond memories of when I played it in the bars
As I sat there reminicin', good times from the past
I thought, lets get the old band together man, it'll be a blast

(V2)
I called up my old buddies and they all said that they were in
I couldn't wait to practice and to see them once again
But as we started playin' it became all to clear
To get a crowd come hear us, we'd call ourselves free beer

(Chorus)
Free beer, appearing here tonight
Free beer, under the neon lights
Ya know they'll be linin' up at the door for sure
For free beer, until three AM
Free beer, hope ya come see us again
Who wouldn't wanna be here, for free beer

(V3)
Well the first time that we played out things were goin' just as planned
People came from miles around to hear our reformed band
But as they learned the truth, things got a bit uptight
That's when I introduced ourselves by yellin' in the mic

(Chorus)
We're free beer, appearing here tonight
Free beer, under the neon lights
Ya know they'll be linin' up at the door for sure
For free beer, until three AM
Free beer, hope ya come see us again
Who wouldn't wanna be here, for free beer

(Bridge)
If you're wonderin' why we did this
There's a perfectly good explanation
The reason we used that name was
Barnaked Ladies was already taken

(Chorus)
We're free beer, appearing here tonight
Free beer, under the neon lights
Ya know they'll be linin' up at the door for sure
For free beer, until three AM
Free beer, hope ya come see us again
Who wouldn't wanna be here, for free beer
Ya who wouldn't wanna be here, for free beer
