[Verse 1]
Showed up late to the barbecue
Red cup ready, not a care or clue
Buddy said, “You wanna hit this first?”
I said, “Hell yeah, what’s the worst?”
Took one puff, then took five more
Felt my brain walk out the door
Looked around and forgot my name
Then I saw Jesus in a cornhole game
[Chorus]
Bongs before beers, that was my bad
Now I’m dancin’ with a scarecrow wearin’ plaid
Someone passed me ribs, I thought they were snakes
Y’all, this high hit harder than my uncle's brakes
So take my word, for heaven’s sake—
Bongs before beers is a southern mistake
[Verse 2]
Granny showed up with that devil’s pie
Swore I saw it winkin’ with a bloodshot eye
The preacher’s kid was makin’ moonshine tea
And the neighbor’s goat tried to fight me
I climbed a tree to escape the lawn
Turns out it was just a plastic fawn
Thought I was floatin’ down the Rio Grande
But I was cryin’ in a kiddie pool, beer in hand
[Chorus]
Bongs before beers, that was my bad
Now I’m slow-dancin’ with a lawn gnome named Chad
He whispered secrets from outer space
And gave me a hug with his ceramic face
So heed this tale for your party’s sake—
Bongs before beers is a southern mistake
[Bridge – spoken with background fiddle]
You ever try to order pizza on a shovel?
Or forget how to blink for an hour?
Don’t recommend it...
[Final Chorus – everyone singin']
Bongs before beers, it’ll mess you up
You’ll end up spoonin’ with the neighbor’s pup
One toke too fast, and you’ll start to shake
Then call your ex just for old times’ sake
So pace yourself and pump the brakes—
Bongs before beers is a southern mistake
[Outro – Fade out with party noise]
“Y’all got any snacks?”
“Why is the sky breathin’?”
“Who the hell gave the goat tequila again?”
