[Intro]
Yeah, Earl in the left lane
Nate in the right lane
Kitchen counter championship
[Verse 1]
Earl rolled up with a chipped front tooth
Nate said, “Talk big, now prove what you do”
Cold fries on the table, elbows on the chair
Two loud legends throwing hands in the air
Earl ducked once, Nate swung wide
Sock hit the wall, pride hit the side
Grandma yelled, “Not near the glass!”
They stumbled outside, then circled back fast
[Pre-Chorus]
No referee, no bell, no ring
Just two stubborn fools doing stubborn things
When the dust fell down and the arguing ceased
They found one jug waiting by the feast
[Chorus]
Earl and Nate, going toe to toe
Now they’re sipping cold hot-dog water real slow
Fight was loud, but the ending got strange
Brine in a cup like a homemade champagne
Earl said, “Cheers,” Nate said, “That’s foul”
Still drank it down while the whole block howled
Earl and Nate, kings of the night
Lost a couple knuckles, but the beverage was right
[Verse 2]
Nate had mustard on the sleeve of his tee
Earl had relish stuck under his knee
They traded wild swings by the recycling bin
Nobody won, but nobody would grin
Then Earl cracked open that cloudy jar
Said, “This is premium, straight from the bar”
Nate took a sip, made a face at the moon
Then poured some more like it came with a spoon
[Pre-Chorus]
No fancy toast, no crystal glass
Just pickle-colored mystery from the past
They bumped those cups with a crooked clank
Two bruised-up heroes and a salty drink
[Chorus]
Earl and Nate, going toe to toe
Now they’re sipping cold hot-dog water real slow
Fight was loud, but the ending got strange
Brine in a cup like a homemade champagne
Earl said, “Cheers,” Nate said, “That’s foul”
Still drank it down while the whole block howled
Earl and Nate, kings of the night
Lost a couple knuckles, but the beverage was right
[Bridge]
Next morning, both got ice on their face
Still arguing who won that disgrace
Earl said, “Me.” Nate said, “Dream on.”
Then they split the last sip before dawn
[Final Chorus]
Earl and Nate, no longer foes
Passing that jug where the cold breeze blows
Fist-fight legends with a questionable taste
Turned one bad night to a salty parade
Earl said, “Again?” Nate said, “Not today.”
But they saved that jar for a rainy day
Earl and Nate, raising cups up high
Cold hot-dog water under a bruised-up sky
[Outro]
No winner, no loser, no medical plan
Just two strange dudes and a questionable can
Earl and Nate, that story stays
Salty little champions of the strangest days
