Beer Cans Lyrics by Old 97's

Too Far to Care

0

I got laid off my job a week ago today
Now I just can't bring myself to apply for welfare pay
Now I'm walking down that big ol' interstate
I never thought that this would ever be my fate
[Chorus]
I'm just picking up beer cans on the highway
It's the only thing I ever wanna do
I'm just picking up beer cans on the highway
I gotta save my dough so I can marry you
Well, you can drop me off on Highway 34
Well I hear they got some beer cans there
And I gotta get some more
Drive me into town so we can cash 'em in
And we will never have to live in sin
[Chorus]
Just picking up beer cans on the highway
Well, it's the only thing I ever wanna do
I'm just picking up beer cans on the highway
I gotta save my dough so I can marry you
Well, in a ditch I see a flashy shining thing
Oh well, it's only a pop-top, but it reminds me of a ring
The wedding ring you wear the day you marry me
That's the day I'm gonna be in ecstasy
[Chorus]
I'm just picking up beer cans on the highway
Well, it's the only thing I ever wanna do
I'm just picking up beer cans on the highway
I gotta save my dough so I can marry you
I'm just picking up beer cans on the highway
It's the only thing I ever wanna do
I'm just picking up beer cans on the highway
I gotta save my dough so I can marry you
I gotta save my dough so I can marry you
