[Verse 1]
Clock out, dust on my boots
Boss man talkin' like he owns the moon
Same old line, same old tune
Man, I just need somethin' smooth
Truck door slam, that sunset burn
Small-town sky and a big-ass thirst
Hit that store on the edge of the dirt
Grab that cold one, twist it first (uh)
[Chorus]
Got this beer in my bloodstream
You in my cracked screen
Laughin' at a meme from last July
Got this longneck to my lip
Your name I almost sip
Every time I take another try
I ain’t healed, but I ain’t hurt like I was last week
Little buzz, little blur, but my heart beats
Yeah, it ain’t just the whiskey in my veins these days
It’s this beer in my bloodstream
Washin’ you away
[Verse 2]
Back porch, boots on the rail
Neighbors lightin’ up that tailgate trail
Radio low, same sad tale
‘Bout a girl and a goodbye fail
You said “boy, you gotta change”
I said “baby, I ain’t that brave”
Now I’m talkin’ to your name in the foam
Sayin’ maybe I could’ve stayed (yeah)
[Chorus]
Got this beer in my bloodstream
You in my cracked screen
Your number sittin’ right there high
Got this longneck to my lip
Your memory start to slip
Every time I chase it with a sigh
I ain’t fine, but I’m closer than I was last week
Little buzz, little blur, but my heart speaks
Yeah, it ain’t just the whiskey in my veins these days
It’s this beer in my bloodstream
Washin’ you away
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll text, maybe I won’t (nah)
Type out “hey” then let it go
Let the foam rise, let the night roll
Let your ghost fade slow (fade slow)
Every swallow, every swallow
I feel a little less hollow
Ain’t proud of this, but it’s honest, babe
You’re a taste I can’t quite shake (oh)
[Chorus]
Got this beer in my bloodstream
You in my cracked screen
Still starin’ at that thread we fried
Got this longneck to my lip
Your goodbye start to drip
Off my shoulders with the fireflies
I ain’t fixed, but I’m better than I was last week
Little buzz, little blur, but my heart’s free
Yeah, it ain’t just the whiskey in my veins these days
It’s this beer in my bloodstream
Beer in my bloodstream
Washin’ you away (hey)
