[Verse]
Well I was working on my truck at the trailer park on a sultry hot August night
When you walked up to me in your daisy dukes and man you were such a sight
You said your old man left you for his daddy’s girlfriend so I was next in your line
You said that you’d always had an eye on me and that you decided to be mine
So we hopped in my Ford and headed out to Vegas to find us a chapel of love
We said I do next to a man dressed as Elvis and your hot pants fit like a glove
[Verse]
Then we hit the casino and played those slots, some roulette and twenty one
It was after I hit it big with three bars that you decided to pull out your gun
You took all my chips, my wallet and truck keys and everything down to my watch
Then you said that you were pawning our rings and kicked me right in the crotch
As I fell in the floor trying to catch my breath it was kind of hard not to grieve
You’d said you loved me I hated to see you go but man I loved watching you leave
[Chorus]
15 beers ago you left me a crawling upon my knees
Straight to the first bar on the strip ya’ know I’m not hard to please
15 beers ago I wondered why I said yes again
Now I’m alone at this bar with this Bud as my only friend
15 beers ago I decided to give up sobriety
In 12 hours I went from honeymoon to you walking out on me
[Guitar Solo
[Verse]
Well I hitched a ride on an 18 wheeler hauling avocados to the Texas line
‘Cause I sobered up, decided to track you down and take back what was mine
When I got back to the trailer park I felt about as low as a man could feel
Instead of a trailer there was a vacant lot I knew I should’ve removed those wheels
You’d think I’d learn my lesson and not fall for the lines, tube tops and hot pants
But like a stripper on the pole playing cherry pie they just make me wanna’ dance
[Chorus]
15 beers ago you left me a crawling upon my knees
Straight to the first bar on the strip ya’ know I’m not hard to please
15 beers ago I wondered why I said yes again
Now I’m alone at this bar with this Bud as my only friend
15 beers ago I decided to give up sobriety
In 12 hours I went from honeymoon to you walking out on me
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Well I like my turkeys wild when I’m with Johnny Walker
And I like to hang out with my buddy old Jimmy Beam
And I know that this Bud won’t make me any wiser
And Jack Daniels ain’t all that he seems
But I’m too drunk to drive too drunk to stand and way too drunk to think
But I’m gonna stay here all night long and it’s all because….
C’mon you know why
[Chorus]
15 beers ago you left me a crawling upon my knees
Straight to the first bar on the strip ya’ know I’m not hard to please
15 beers ago I wondered why I said yes again
Now I’m alone at this bar with this Bud as my only friend
15 beers ago I decided to give up sobriety
In 12 hours I went from honeymoon to you walking out on me
[Final Chorus]
Was is 15 beers, or maybe 20? To tell the truth I lost count after 10.
Bartender, set ‘em up again.
