country music songwriter , mostly drinking and cheating songs
I am a country songwriter
Story behind the song
I was motivated by writing this song when I was thinking to myself ,why is there not a beer label warning about "too much drinking is bad for you" , like they have on cigarette packs.
Lyrics
Friday night , after a hard days work
I came home to unwind
Put my feet up on my lazy chair
popped a top of my favorite kind
The beer was cold, I was chuggin them fast
the ol bud was goin down great
Then my honey walked in ,shoutin trash
I hollered back, bu it was too late
(chorus)
There should've been a beer label warning
on the longneck in my hand
Then maybe she'd be here this morning
and I'd still be her man
What was I thinkin ,with all that drinkin
What did I do to make her mad
There should've been a beer label warning
"Too much can make a good man turn bad"
This five percent alcohol
didn't seem like much at the time
But when ya down a dozen, it adds up
It can sure mess up your mind
I don't remember much after eight
by ten , I was feelin no pain
If there had been a label warning
I would've been in better shape
(chorus)repeat
Cos' when she walked out
I screamed and shouted, "I don't care if you leave
Woke up in the tub all sobered up
And by then I just couldn't believe
On the bottle or on the box
a warning would've been just fine
I probly could've had better control
and my honey would still be mine
(chorus)repeat
Too much can make a good man turn bad
too much can make a good man turn bad
too much can make a good man turn bad
