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
