Beer Ain't One
Friday Night Freedom: Ninety-Nine Problems, But a Beer Ain't One
Lyrics
I'm ten minutes late again dragging into work
I am consistently late for work, causing frustration.
My boss is on my back, man, acting like a jerk
My boss is being unpleasant and demanding.
I rolled out of bed and my truck wouldn't start
My day started with car trouble; my truck wouldn't start.
Forgot my lunch, I'm about to starve
I forgot my lunch and am hungry.
Got a text from my baby saying
Received a message from my partner asking me to call.
Call me on the phone
My partner is leaving, and she wants to talk on the phone.
She packed up her stuff and she ain't coming back home
My partner has packed up and left home.
Ain't had a day off in about ten months
I haven't had a day off in ten months.
It's Friday night man we're about to have some fun
Despite a tough week, it's Friday night, and I plan to enjoy myself.
I got ninety-nine problems, but a beer ain't one
I have various problems, but the lack of beer isn't one of them.
Ice 'em on down and come get you some
Encouraging others to join and have some beer.
It's about to go down with them hometown boys
Excitement about spending time with local friends.
We're loud and we're rowdy and we make a lot of noise
We are a lively group, known for making noise.
Bud Heavy, Bud Light, or whatever you want
Options for beer preferences, including Bud Heavy and Bud Light.
Or we can roll one up if you want to get stoned
Suggesting marijuana use if someone wants to get high.
We ain't worried about tomorrow, we about to drink a ton
We are living in the moment, not concerned about the future.
I got ninety-nine problems but a beer ain't one, yeah
Reiterating that despite problems, lack of beer is not one.
Just packed my last pinch of Wintergreen Skoal
Mention of using the last of a tobacco product.
Three putt a birdie on the fifteenth hole
Describing a frustrating golf experience, emphasizing the struggle.
Tore up my hat because my Rebels just lost
Expressing disappointment in a sports team's loss.
My baby wants to come back I told her hell naw
Rejecting the idea of my partner returning.
I got ninety-nine problems, but a beer ain't one
Reiteration of having problems, excluding a lack of beer.
Ice 'em on down and come get you some
Encouraging others to join for beer.
It's about to go down with them hometown boys
Anticipation of a lively time with local friends.
We're loud and we're rowdy and we make a lot of noise
Highlighting the energetic and noisy nature of the group.
Bud Heavy, Bud Light, or whatever you want
Listing beer options for participants.
Or we can roll one up if you want to get stoned
