Beer Run by Todd Snider

B double E double R U N beer run
B double E double R U N beer run
All we need is a ten and a five'er
A car and a key and a sober driver
B double E double R U N beer run

A couple of frat guys from Abilene
Drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
At the Kpei swine and Sworay Dance
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants

They wanted cigs so to save a little money
They got one from this hippie that smelt kina funny
And next thing they knew they were both pretty hungry
And pretty thirsty too

B double E double R U N beer run
B double E double R U N beer run
All we need is a ten and a five'er
A car and a key and a sober driver
B double E double R U N beer run

They found a store with a sign
Said, "Their beer was coldest"
So they sent in Brad 'cause he looked the oldest
He got a case of beer and a candy bar
Walked over to where all them registers are

Layed his fake ID on the counter top
The clerk looked, he turned, he looked back, he stopped
He said "Boy, I ain't callin' the cops
But I am keepin' this card"
The guys took it pretty hard

B double E double R U N beer run
B double E double R U N beer run
Oh, how happy we would be
Had we only brought a better fake id
On a B double E double R U N beer run

They met this other old hippie named Sleepie John
He claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl Keen song
So they gave him their cash he bought 'em some brews
Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz

They were feelin' so good it shoulda been a crime
The crowd was cool and the band was prime
They made it back up to their seats just in time
To sing with all their friends, "The rode goes on forever
And the party never ends"

B double E double R U N beer run
B double E double R U N beer run
All we need is a ten and a five'er
A car and a key and a sober driver
B double E double R U N beer run
Said, B double E double R U N beer run
