LYRICS, THE STORY IN THE MUSIC
Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry
{c: Verse}
Been working all day under the West Texas Sun
Ain’t even clocked out she’s texting me errands to run
Just want to go home to find peace of mind
Melt away the worries of the day in a bottle with salt and lime
{c: Bridge}
Hon please! blow the leaves off the roof
And clean out the gutters while you’re there
You’ll see the other stuff needs getting done
Up on the Frigidaire
Pressure wash both of the cars and the driveway too
Use the green soap not the blue
And don’t forget to get the leaves out the pool
{c: Chorus}
Give me Two Beers and a Hammock
I deserve a break now damnit
Been working hard all day long and I need to say I’ve had it
A soft net and a long neck are calling out my name
Two Beers and a Hammock, honey and I’m back in the game
{c: Verse}
My work week is so long it is a travesty
Forty hours a week, that sounds part time to me
Sunday has come it’s my day of rest
Barbecue a roast and watch football on the TV set
{c: Bridge}
Hon please! sweep off the sidewalk
And can you please trim the trees?
Pick the weeds out the flower bed
You’ll have to get on your knees
Mow the lawn and whack the weeds and
Get it done before noon
Not to be a nag but on the mower put the bag
Or you’ll be sweeping up clippings too
{c: Bridge}
Hon please! Take the garbage down to the road
And wash both cars again
Use the green soap this time I’m tired of telling you man!
Sweep off the deck and clean up the hot mess
That your dog left for you
And when you get done instead of having fun
Come back and tell me that you’re through
{c: Chorus}
Give me Two Beers and a Hammock
I deserve a break now damnit
Been working hard all week long and I need to say I’ve had it
A soft net and a long neck are calling out my name
Two Beers and a Hammock, honey and I’m back in the game
{c: Outro}
You should be glad I’m not half in the bag upon some honky tonk barstool
I been working hard and staying home and taking car like I do
A margarita in a beach chair for folks in fancy magazines
Give me Two Beers and a Hammock, that’s all I need.
