Kid Rock - Drinking Beer With Dad (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]

It's the simple things in life

But life ain't so simple right

And times get hard & people can make you mad

But I remember when I was young

I couldn't wait to turn twenty one

Sit in the backyard sun & drink beer with dad

[Chorus]

Drinkin' beer with dad

Out there on the back porch swangin'

Drinkin' beer with dad

Pickin' my guitar & grinnin'

[Verse 2]

We'd hem & haw, we'd cuss & fight

But that's where I learned life's best advice

We'd talk about when I was young & bad

Sometimes he'd make me fightin' mad

Best education I eva had

Was out there on the back porch drinkin' beer with dad

Nowadays most things have changed

This whole world is headin' down the drain

There's no God in schools

Totin' guns is the latest fad

A little discipline would sure be nice

A little lesson in wrong & right

Maybe it's time young man to have a beer with dad

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

I'd play him songs all through the night

I'd praise the Lord I saw the light

We'd stay up late & make mom mad

But half the time we'd just laugh & laugh

Some of the best times I eva had

Was out there on the back porch drinkin' beer with dad

Now son I'm so damn proud of you

And the young man you've turned into

You're the best son a father could eva have

And though ur grandpa's done past on

Soon you'll be 21

So come on the back porch son & have a beer with dad

[Chorus]

Drinkin' beer with dad

Out there on the back porch swangin'

Drinkin' beer with dad

Pickin' my guitar & grinnin'

We'll hem & haw, we'll cuss & fight

But I'll pass along life's best advice

We'll talk about yo ole granddad

The things he gave us he neva had

I wish foreva our time could last

I wish this world wouldn't move so fast

Out here on the back porch

Out here on the back porch drinkin' beer with dad
