Ya ever feel like you're standing in glue Going nowhere, yeah man, me too Busting your butt just trying to get ahead Wind up tasting a little dust instead Buddy, I swear that pretty thing of mine Don't ask for much but I'd be lyin' If I said, I didn't want to give her everything that shines Cold beer conversations Just a couple old boys, a little time well wasted Trying to figure out life Trying to figure out girls Trying to find our place in this crazy old world A little truth, a little frustration Cold beer conversation Man, don't you miss those Friday night lights? Wouldn't you like to bust through that paper one more time? Brother, my folks are gettin' up there in years Momma still thinks the devil's in here Now tell me buddy, don't you ever wish We could work a little less, catch a few more fish? Yeah, maybe one day when we both strike it rich Cold beer conversations Just a couple old boys, a little time well wasted Trying to figure out life Trying to figure out girls Trying to find our place in this crazy old world A little truth, a little frustration Cold beer conversation We could sit here all night trying to make it make sense A little buzz is probably all we're gonna get But that's alright Cold beer conversations Just a couple old boys, a little time well wasted Trying to figure out life Trying to figure out girls Trying to find our place in this crazy old world A little truth, a little frustration It's just us man, go on and say it Cold beer conversation
