Beer Run

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
It's a B double E double, are you N.
My buddies and their babies letting down their hair
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
Knowing half the fun is getting there
Aztec, long-necks, paychecks spent
oh, it's a B double E double, are you N.
I can't stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
When they made this county dry
I got a week long thirst
And to make it worse
Lord, it's my turn to drive
Laughing and a bragging and a carrying on
We loaded up the wagons and we headed home
I guess a half a dozen cases doesn't last that long
Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone
Then, it's turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a B double E double, are you N.
The song Beer Run by Garth Brooks is a lighthearted and fun take on a group of friends going on a beer run to the county line when their own county has gone dry. The first verse describes the urgency and excitement of the beer run, as they ignore highway signs and speed towards their destination. The second verse portrays the camaraderie between the group, as they all let loose and have fun together despite their financial situations. The third verse highlights the absurdity of a county going dry and the desperation it creates, as they reflect on their week-long thirst and the need to make the most of the beer they have acquired.
Overall, the song is a celebration of friendship, fun, and the simple pleasures in life. It embodies the idea that sometimes all you need is good company and a cold beer to have a good time. The lyrics are easy to sing along to and the upbeat tempo give it a feel-good vibe.

Twenty-five minutes past quitting time
We left work, but it's only been 25 minutes since our shift ended
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
There are too many people in my truck
Paying no attention to them highway signs
We're ignoring the speed limit and other road signs
Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line
We're driving really fast to get to the county line
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
We made a quick run to buy a 12-pack of beer and returned to the car
It's a B double E double, are you N.
We're looking for some beer (BEEr) and asking if you're in (UN)
My buddies and their babies letting down their hair
My friends and their significant others are relaxing and having fun
As long as we're together it don't matter where
We're having fun as long as we're together, the location doesn't matter
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
We don't have much money but we're not worried about it
Knowing half the fun is getting there
We're enjoying the journey as much as the destination
Aztec, long-necks, paychecks spent
We bought Aztec beer in long-neck bottles and spent our paychecks on it
oh, it's a B double E double, are you N.
We're still looking for beer and asking if you're in
I can't stop thinking
I can't stop worrying
What the hell they were drinking
I wonder what the people who made this county dry were drinking
When they made this county dry
I can't believe this county doesn't allow alcohol sales
I got a week long thirst
I've been wanting a drink for a week
And to make it worse
To make things more difficult
Lord, it's my turn to drive
I have to drive now
Laughing and a bragging and a carrying on
We're joking and boasting and having fun
We loaded up the wagons and we headed home
We're on our way home in our car
I guess a half a dozen cases doesn't last that long
We drank a lot of beer and it didn't last very long
Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone
By tomorrow morning we'll have finished all the beer
Then, it's turn around, leave town, sounds again
We'll go home, leave the town, and do it again soon
Like a B double E double, are you N.
We'll be looking for more beer and asking if you're in again
