Beer Can

We met when I was nine, on a warm July night

Alone on the frontsteps, with the yellow porch light

And I proved I was a man, over and over again

To my new love, my new friend, my beer can

When I turned sixteen, I was a drinkin' machine

Killin' twelve packs if Tallboys, nearly two-times a week

Five feet tall and bulletproof, I break wall, thanks to you

But you're my true love, my best friend, my beer can

You were the first one to kiss my lips

And you still made me feel great inside

And even though, there's time I go crazy

I'll never blame you, till the day you say goodbye

Oh, twenty-one years old, so in love, don't you know

Yeah, we make-out, ever night out, on the town and then home

Whether warm or ice-cold, one look at you and I'm sold

You're my hero, my best friend, my beer can

And you're still the last one to hold my

Hand, late at night, when I lay down my head

And everytime I find myself lonely

You're the only one I want in my bed

Well the years have gone by, it's funny how the beers fly

I'm a grown man now, but you still make me act like a child

You're so good to me, you're all that I need

You're my true love, my best friend, my beer can

You're my first, you're my last, my present and my past

My true love, till the sweet, foamy end, my beer can
