Drink a Little Beer Lyrics

[Intro: Thomas Rhett & Rhett Akins]
Drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight

[Verse 1: Thomas Rhett]
Got a Tennessee girl, a Rocky Top breeze
And a big ol' yellow moon
A new set of strings on my '69
And a Yeti full of iced-down booze
Everybody 'round this sleepy little town
Heading down Pinetucky Road
Gonna leave our worries in a cloud of dust
Right there by the old fence post

[Chorus: Thomas Rhett & Rhett Akins]
Yeah, we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight
A bunch of down home boys and some blue jean girls
Kicking up the dirt and shooting out the lights
Life can be an ol' briar patch
Gotta dance your way through it sometimes
So we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight

[Verse 2: Rhett Akins]
Got a pig in the ground, stars in the sky
And a jar full of lightning juice
Got a worn-out path to the river bank
Everybody coming out of them boots
Gonna pick a few songs all night long
Ones that we grew up on
Some fishing in the dark, some Copperhead Road
Everybody just sing along
[Chorus: Thomas Rhett & Rhett Akins]
Yeah, we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight
A bunch of down home boys and some blue jean girls
Kicking up the dirt and shooting out the lights
Life can be an ol' briar patch
Gotta dance your way through it sometimes
So we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Thomas Rhett & Rhett Akins]
Yeah, we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight
A bunch of down home boys and some blue jean girls
Kicking up the dirt and shooting out the lights
Life can be an ol' briar patch
Gotta dance your way through it sometimes
So we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight
Yeah, we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight
A bunch of down home boys and some blue jean girls
Kicking up the dirt and shooting out the lights
Life can be an ol' briar patch
Gotta dance your way through it sometimes
So we're gonna drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight
[Post-Chorus: Thomas Rhett & Rhett Akins]
Drink a little beer, play a little music
And have a big time tonight
That's right

[Outro: Thomas Rhett & Rhett Akins]
Ah, come on boys, whoo!
This is so weird having my dad on a song right now
Considering he's 50
Uh, 47
I think he's gonna make a comeback album and this is the start of it
I taught you everything you know, son
But not everything I know
We through playing now

What did Thomas Rhett say about "Drink a Little Beer"?
Genius Answer

Every time I go to a radio station and there’s a programmer that’s been there for like 20 plus years, the only thing we talk about is my dad. “There’s always these stories about my dad, and I just thought for country radio, it would be super cool for a lot of those programmers, and a lot of the people who knew my dad, to hear me do a song on my record with my dad singing on it. "Even though the majority of the world will have no idea who Rhett is, that was one of those moments for me that I’ll be able to look back in 30 years and think, ‘Me and Dad did a song together, that’s awesome. I’ll probably play it for my grandkids and be like, 'This is your great-grandfather singing on my record.’ We also wrote this song [together], so to have him sing on that just made a whole bunch of sense.”
