This is the longest beer of the night but in the east I think I see some light
And then pretty soon I know the sun will shine
I know a bar that opens promptly at nine at nine
I guess two six packs wasn't enough
Cause right about now the goin' really gets rough
Yeah and some early bird is happy calling its mate
And I wish I knew a bar that opens door so promptly at eight
Maybe I was just a fool thinking I could drown you out of my mind
But the longest part of the day is just before nine before nine
I can see the dew that settle on the ground ha ha ha
And if I'm not careful your mem'ry's gonna come around
And that's the reason that I just gotta stay tight
So I'm just nursin' the longest beer of the night
I'm just nursin' the longest beer of the night
