Longest Beer of the Night

This is the longest beer of the night and in the East I think I see some light,
And pretty soon I know the sun will shine and I know a bar that opens promptly
at nine: at nine.
I guess two six-packs wasn’t enough 'cause right about now the goin’really gets
rough
And some early bird is happy callin’his mate and I wish I knew a bar that
opened promptly at eight.
Maybe I was just a fool thinkin’I could drown you outa my mind but the longest
part of the day is just before nine: before nine.
I can see the dew that’s settlin’onto the ground and if I’m not careful your
mem’ry’s gonna come 'round
And that’s the reason I just gotta stay tight, so I’m just nursin’the longest
beer of the night.
Yeah, I’m nursin’the longest beer of the night.
