Every Beer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, old man, sittin' on a stool
I’ve seen you in here for a while
Your best days are now in your rearview
But you still find a way to smile
I know there's no secret to life
It seems like you got it down to a T
Got any longneck advice for a good ol' boy like me?
And he said

[Chorus]
"Call your mama, see the world
Get the tattoo, kiss the girl
Count your blessings, thank your stars
Learn your lesson, earn your scars
Life’s a sunset from the porch
As beautiful as it is short
So drink it up, but make it last, son
'Cause every beer could be your last one"
Oh yeah, every beer could bе your last one

[Verse 2]
He orderеd us both a PBR
Said, "Take this with a grain of salt
Life ain't like a sold-out bar
We don't know when it's our last call
So make 'I can't' and ’I regret’
A couple words that you don't use
And one day, you might be right here
Tellin’ somebody like you"
[Chorus]
"Call your mama, see the world
Get the tattoo, kiss the girl
Count your blessings, thank your stars
Learn your lesson, earn your scars
Life's a sunset from the porch
As beautiful as it is short
So drink it up, but make it last, son
'Cause every beer could be your last one"
Oh yeah, your last one

[Bridge]
He paid his tab, then he was gone
I don't know where that old man went
Coulda been Heaven, coulda been home
Either way, I ain’t seen him since
Since he said

[Chorus]
"Call your mama, see the world
Get the tattoo, kiss the girl
Count your blessings, thank your stars
Learn your lesson, earn your scars
Life's a sunset from the porch
As beautiful as it is short
So drink it up, but make it last, son
'Cause every beer could be your last one"
[Outro]
(You never know, no, you never know)
Oh yeah, every beer could be your last one
(You never know, no, you never know)
(You never know, no, you never know)
(You never know, no, you never know)
Every beer could be your last one (Make it last, son)
Every beer could be your last one

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Cole Swindell say about "Every Beer"?
Genius Answer

It’s sad losing anybody way too soon, but Kobe Bryant, one of the best athletes in the world you’ve grown up watching, you just realise that could happen to anybody at any time. Doesn’t matter who you are, where you are. And I remember posting a picture of Kobe and his daughter that morning and just saying, ‘You better tell who you love you love them while you got a chance, because you never know.’ We got to talking about that in the writing room. We didn’t have the title, the idea or anything. It was just a down mood. Me and Jordan [Schmidt] and HARDY, we were all in shock. What do you say? What do you do? And we just started talking about how fragile life is and all the things that we better do while we get a chance.
