[Verse 1]
Clock says five
But I ain’t done yet
Steel-toe boots and a stiff back sweat
Boss man barking through a busted phone
Fluorescent hum
But my mind’s back home
[Pre-Chorus]
I see that gravel road in my rearview
Dust in the dusk
Yeah
I’m close to you
Front porch glow through the pines out here
Heart starts racing for that first cold beer
[Chorus]
Happiness is a cold beer
In your hand by the fire when the smoke clears
We made it through the grind
Through the hard
Hard time
Yeah
The days are tough but it’s all fine
When the nights get long
When the dark feels near
Baby think of me and a cold beer
[Verse 2]
Kitchen light on
Boots by the door
Mud on the mat
You on the floor
Laughing as you pull me down right here
Flannel shirt
Kiss that tastes like beer
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “how was work?”
I just shake my head
You say “you’re home now”
Pull me close instead
Logs catch flame
Crackle in my ear
World fades out with that first cold beer
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
When you’re all alone and the room feels big
When the wind outside starts to howl and dig
Picture my truck in the drive out front
Tailgate down
Yeah we’re on that hunt
A fireplace glow and a cold beer
Your bare feet tangled with mine right here
If the day’s been cruel
If the pay’s been low
We’ll burn that hurt in the ember’s glow
[Chorus]
