Beer and Water

Written by Rick Amburgey and Bobby Turk


It’s a 45-minute drive out to Percy Priest Lake
Letting go of my Jekyll for a little bit of Hyde
Drinking, dancing, fishing and swimming
In a middle Tennessee paradise
Waking up is reason enough to pop a top again
Funny how beer tastes better
When the sun starts soaking in
Sittin’ on the bank casting out lines
If the catfish don’t start biting
It’s gonna taste like chicken tonight

Chorus:
A folding tent, a change of clothes
A case of beer and a fishing pole
If you ain’t tried it yet
Brother you oughta
Cause nothing goes together
Quite like beer and water


Jessica likes laying on the beach
Amy spends her time in the water
Tanning, water skiing, or swimming
Tennessee has never been hotter
We’ve got the beach balls bouncing
We’ve got the music playing
These girls love dancing
And you know what I’m thinking

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
And if you can’t get down here
You just gotta improvise
All you need is a pool and plenty of beer
To do it up redneck-style

Repeat Chorus twice
