<br />
I can’t remember a day since I was young<br />
That I didn’t have a test or trial to overcome<br />
The time these days seem to roll on by<br />
Like Merle Haggard once said in a country song<br />
It’s in a room with neon lights that I belong<br />
And an old bartender telling lie after lie<br />
Where there’s lots of lovely ladies with their jeans so tight<br />
And if you run your mouth you’re looking for a fight<br />
But just like Hank Jr., this country boy can survive<br />
Where the barstools feel like a lazy boy chair<br />
And I love the smell of smoke in a sexy woman’s hair<br />
And it’s these 4 Vices that help keep me alive<br />
<br />
CHORUS<br />
Beer, booze, woman and smoke<br />
That keep me rolling on through life’s cruel bad joke<br />
And any one or more of the four, seem to take me back to where I’ve been before<br />
My beer, booze, women and smoke<br />
<br />
(SOLO)<br />
<br />
Well if you can by me a shot I’ll damn well do it<br />
Cause when life’s got me down I like to drink my way through it<br />
So take or leave it that’s just the way I am<br />
Where the rounds come one after another<br />
Jeager, Jack, Jim Beam among others<br />
Cause these 4 Vices and me go hand and hand<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Beer, booze, woman and smoke<br />
That keep me rolling on through life’s cruel bad joke<br />
And any one or more of the four, seem to take me back to where I’ve been before<br />
My beer, booze, women and smoke
