Fowler put together a country band in 1998 and began playing Tuesday nights at Babe's on Sixth Street in Austin. Within two years, he'd begun recording albums and struck big with his self-released Beer, Bait and Ammo (2000). The album sold around 30,000 copies in the Texas area and garnered an impressive amount of airplay, particularly for the album's title track. The song became somewhat of a Texas anthem; Mark Chesnutt made the song part of his live show, and Sammy Kershaw recorded it. Fowler returned in 2002 with his third album, High on the Hog, and boasted some impressive guests, including Willie Nelson and David Lee Garza.

All day long no a kind word
If you wanna chew my ass you better get in line
How much of this can one man take?
Every now and then we all need a break
So I'm punching out, leaving this all behind
Put a cold one in my hand
Oh, I clearly
Had about all I could stand
It's been a hard day
It's time for me to let it all go
So be a good friend, won't you pass me a brew?
It's like my medicine to help me lose these blues
Can't you hear me? Yeah, come on, somebody beer me
Telephone's ringing, oh, what's wrong now?
The house's flooded, the car broke down
All these bad things running through my mind
Well, my blood pressure's on the rise
I just take a deep breath and start to fantasize
About the one thing that'll help me unwind
Yeah, somebody beer me
Put a cold one in my hand
Oh, I clearly
Had about all I could stand
It's been a hard day
It's time for me to let it all go
So be a good friend, won't you pass me a brew?
It's like my medicine to help me lose these blues
Can't you hear me? Yeah, come on, somebody beer me
When my world spins out of control
Well, there's only one real remedy I know
Somebody beer me
Put a cold one in my hand
Oh, I clearly
Had about all I could stand
It's been a hard day
It's time for me to let it all go
So be a good friend, won't you pass me a brew?
It's like my medicine to help me lose these blues
Can't you hear me? Yeah, come on, somebody beer me
Somebody beer me
Put a cold one in my hand
Oh, I clearly
Had about all I could stand
It's been a hard day
It's time for me to let it all go
So be a good friend, won't you pass me a brew?
It's like my medicine to help me lose these blues
Can't you hear me? Yeah, come on, somebody beer me
Put that brew right here near me
Yeah, come on, somebody beer me
