Man That Holds the Beer
Cheers to Life's Simple Joy: The Man That Holds the Beer
Lyrics
Five o'clock on Friday
Introduction of the setting, it's five o'clock on Friday.
He's wearing a big ol' grin
The man is happy, evident from his big smile.
He's glad to see this teeth grinding week
Expressing relief as a challenging week comes to an end.
Come to an end
Highlighting the completion of a tough week.
On his back porch in a fold out chair
The man is relaxing on his porch in a fold-out chair.
As the birds sing the weekend song
Nature is signaling the arrival of the weekend through birdsong.
All is right in his world and he's right
The man feels content and in the right place.
Where he belongs
Emphasizes the man's sense of belonging.
Takes his worries pours them out and lets them go
He releases his worries and lets them go.
Tells his troubles take a hike and hit the road
Encouraging his troubles to leave and not bother him.
Takes a bad day and puts it in the rearview mirror
Turning a bad day into a past experience, leaving it behind.
Cracks a cold one in his hand
The man opens a cold beverage, symbolic of finding joy.
And his problems disappear
Drinking and enjoying his beer, his problems vanish.
Happy is the man that holds the beer
The central theme: happiness is found in holding a beer.
He counts his blessings
The man reflects on his good fortune.
Thinks how lucky he is right now
Appreciating the current positive aspects of his life.
Finds peace of mind one sip at a time
Finding peace gradually, one sip at a time.
Watching the sun go down
Enjoying the serene moment as the sun sets.
Got an old dog at his feet
Describing the man's companionship with his old dog.
And a butterfly on the breeze
Nature's beauty is felt through a butterfly on the breeze.
Feeling from the woman that he loves
The man feels love from the woman he cares about.
He ain't drowning sorrow drinking
Contrasting with drowning sorrows, he is not using alcohol as an escape.
No he wouldn't trade his life for anyone
Emphasizing contentment; he wouldn't trade his life for anyone else's.
Takes his worries pours them out and lets them go
Reiteration of releasing worries and letting go.
Tells his troubles take a hike and hit the road
Encouraging his troubles to leave once again.
Takes a bad day and puts it in the rearview mirror
Continuing the theme of overcoming bad days.
Raises a cold one in his hand
Raising another cold beverage, symbolizing ongoing happiness.
And his problems disappear
Problems continue to disappear as he enjoys his beer.
Happy is the man that holds the beer
Reiteration of the central theme: holding a beer brings happiness.
Takes his worries pours them out and lets them go
Repeating the process of releasing worries and troubles.
Tells his troubles take a hike and hit the road
Encouraging troubles to take a hike once more.
Takes a bad day and puts it in the rearview mirror
Persisting in leaving bad days behind in the rearview mirror.
Heart is full, can is empty
Expressing a full heart and an empty can, suggesting contentment.
His problems disappear
Reaffirming that problems disappear in the midst of happiness.
Oh happy is the man that holds the beer
Final declaration of the joy of the man holding a beer.
