Paid for Drinking Beer Songtext
von McAlister Kemp

Came up short last week
And that ain′t the first time
It's a curse when you′re hurtin'
And you're stuck workin′ for the man

It′s 40 long hours
That led me to this bar stool
As he pours me another
I say, "Hey, brother
I got me the perfect plan"

If I got paid for drinkin' beer
All my problems would disappear
′Cause my bank account
Would be full as that next glass

Be makin' money
I wouldn′t complain
'Cause the more I drink
The more I′d make


From the open sign
'Til closing time
I'd be employee of the year
I′d have it made
If I got paid for drinkin′ beer

Guess I'd wake up around nine o′clock
And start knockin' ′em back 'round ten (knockin′ 'em back 'round ten)
Hell, if I know me, I′m gonna overachieve
Over and over again

If I got paid for drinkin′ beer
All my problems would disappear
'Cause my bank account
Would be full as that next glass

Be makin′ money
I wouldn't complain
′Cause the more I drink
The more I'd make

From the open sign
′Til closing time
I'd be employee of the year
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin′ beer


And if I got that job
I′d never need another
I'd have a pile of deadlines
And a mile of quotas to make

′Cause I'm a thirsty man
I tell ya, I got it covered
Won′t need a lunch break
Never take a holiday
Go in early and stay back late

If I got paid for drinkin' beer
All my problems would disappear
′Cause my bank account
Would be full as that next glass

Be makin' money
I wouldn't complain
′Cause the more I drink
The more I′d make

From the open sign
'Til closing time
I′d be employee of the year
I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin′ beer

I'd have it made
If I got paid for drinkin′ beer
