Countdown to Happy Hour

Verse 1

Clock hands crawling but my smile’s wide

Sun still shining on the outside

No rush, no race, just an easy cheer

Knowing my favorite time is near

Every long mile led to this chair

Where laughter’s light and the breeze is fair

I’m breathing deep, got nothing to fear

Just good friends gathering — and a cold, cold beer

Pre-Chorus

I’ve worked the day, I’ve walked the grind

Now peace and joy are on my mind

Chorus

Countdown’s on — happy hour in sight

Cold beer, laughter, golden light

Right here, right now, it’s crystal clear

These are the moments we hold dear

Hands raised high as the daylight fades

Smiles poured strong as the memories are made

Verse 2

Front porch talk and an easy chair

Stories and jokes floating through the air

No need for more than this simple song

Where thankful hearts just get along

I’ve learned joy isn’t bought or sold

It’s found in the friends and the tales retold

Bridge

Here’s to the breath in my lungs today

Here’s to winding the worries away

If tomorrow brings another climb

We’ll toast again when it’s quittin’ time

Final Chorus

Countdown’s done — happy hour is here

Cold beer, laughter, and mighty good cheer

Every blessing brought me near

So I raise this glass and give a cheer

For hope, for love, for being here

Under open skies — with a cold, cold beer
