Lyrics
LIFE'S TOO GOOD TO DRINK CHEAP BEER
I WON'T DO WITHOUT WHILE THE MONEY'S THERE
I CAN'T TAKE IT WITH ME SO I'M GONNA SPEND IT HERE
PICKLED EGGS FROM A MASON JAR I'D RATHER HAVE CAVIAR
NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS THAN THE BEST ANYTIME ANYWHERE I SWEAR
LIFE'S TOO GOOD TO DRINK CHEAP BEER
VERSE
I ONLY GET ONE GO AT THIS GO AROUND SO I'M LIVIN' IT UP BEFORE I'M UNDERGROUND
I CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO BUY THE THINGS I CAN'T AFFORD
I'M A RED NECK BLUE COLLAR WORKING STIFF
WITH A CREDIT LINE THAT JUST WON'T QUIT
ANYTHING WORTH HAVIN' AIN'T WORTH SAVIN' FOR
CHORUS
LIFE'S TOO GOOD TO DRINK CHEAP BEER
I WON'T DO WITHOUT WHILE THE MONEY'S THERE
I CAN'T TAKE IT WITH ME SO I'M GONNA SPEND IT HERE
PICKLED EGGS FROM A JAR NOT WHEN I CAN HAVE CAVIAR
NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS THAN THE BEST ANYTIME ANYWHERE I SWEAR
LIFE'S TOO GOOD TO DRINK CHEAP BEER
