Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the shift clock quits
and my boots hit the floor
I know where I’m headed
to the corner door
You got a cold one ready
and a grin that says stay
We laugh off the weight
of the whole damn day
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t ask for much
just “sit, my friend”
One more round
and the ache starts to bend
And if I’m all talked out
you still know why
[Chorus]
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(there you are)
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(near and far)
You lift me up
when I’m leaning low
You know the road
when I need to go
[Verse 2]
Some bring the stories
some bring the truth
Some keep it simple
with a joke and proof
You’ve got my back
when the night runs long
And you sing my name
like it still belongs
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t fix the world
but you fix my seat
One good laugh
and I’m back on my feet
When I need advice
you don’t miss a beat
[Chorus]
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(there you are)
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(near and far)
You lift me up
when I’m leaning low
You know the road
when I need to go
[Bridge]
Here’s to the ones
who stay till close
Who know my mess
and love me most
A shoulder to lean on
a hand to hold
A little bad news
made light and gold
[Final Chorus]
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(there you are)
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(near and far)
You lift me up
when I’m leaning low
You know the road
when I need to go
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(stay awhile)
Drinking buddies, drinking buddies
(make me smile)

Style
Country-pop with a midtempo four-on-the-floor stomp, handclaps on the backbeat, acoustic guitar jangle, and a snug bassline; verse rides easy barroom storytelling, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a little tambourine shake, chorus opens wide with gang vocals on the anchor phrase. Lead vocal is warm and close-mic in verses, doubled on hooks, with short delay throws on the last word of each chorus line. Ear candy includes a beer-glass clink intro, a quick whistled turnaround into the chorus, and a muted pedal-steel swell before the final lift. Bright, punchy, feel-good mix.

Prompt
A fun song about drinking buddy’s, there there when you need them, have good times, a shoulder to lean on, and ones to talk to when you need advice, good times, and at the end of a long work day.
