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.
Beer Season
Kevin Fowler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've frozen my ass for the very last time
Settin' my sights on a brand new kind of prey
No sneakin' up on 'em, ain't gotta be quiet
You don't need a gun and you don't need a knife
Gotta good feelin' we'll be baggin' us a bunch today
Well, it's beer season in my neck of the woods
Beer season, everybody's here
There ain't no limit and it's open all year
Well, I killed a big 40 ounce just the other day
He didn't even run didn't try to get away
Hung him on the wall for all my friends to see
Like shootin' fish in a barrel, it just don't seem right
It ain't against the law, you can kill 'em all night
Ask the game warden, he's sittin' right next to me
Well, it's beer season in my neck of the woods
Well, they go down easy and they sure taste good
Beer season, everybody's here
There ain't no limit and it's open all year
You can lose that camo and lay your rifles down
Belly up and let's pull the trigger on another round
Well, it's beer season in my neck of the woods
Well, they go down easy and they sure taste good
Beer season, everybody's here
There ain't no limit and it's open all year
You can go out in the woods alone
Shiver shakin' to the bone
Probably catch your death of cold
I'll be sittin' right back here
Where there ain't no limit and it's open all year
Don't want 'em to overpopulate
Better kill some more
The lyrics to Kevin Fowler's song "Beer Season" are a humorous and lighthearted take on the concept of hunting for beer. The singer of the song declares that he has no interest in traditional hunting activities like waking up early or sitting outside in the cold. Instead, he sets his sights on this new kind of prey - cold beer. He doesn't need a gun or a knife to catch it, and he's confident that they will be successful in "bagging" a bunch of beers.
The chorus of the song celebrates the idea of beer season, which is open all year round with no limits. The singer talks about how good beer tastes and how easy it goes down, likening it to shooting fish in a barrel. He even jokes that he hung a 40-ounce beer on his wall like it was a hunting trophy. He assures listeners that it's all in good fun and that there's no law against "killing" beers all night.

I ain't gettin' up early, ain't sittin' outside
I refuse to wake up early or spend time outdoors for hunting
I've frozen my ass for the very last time
I will no longer suffer in the cold while hunting
Settin' my sights on a brand new kind of prey
I'm targeting a new type of catch
No sneakin' up on 'em, ain't gotta be quiet
This new kind of prey doesn't require sneaking up or being quiet
You don't need a gun and you don't need a knife
This new kind of prey doesn't need a firearm or a weapon
Gotta good feelin' we'll be baggin' us a bunch today
I'm confident we'll catch a lot of this new prey today
Well, it's beer season in my neck of the woods
It's the season for drinking beer in my area
Well, they go down easy and they sure taste good
Beer is easy to consume and tastes great
Beer season, everybody's here
Everyone is enjoying beer during this season
There ain't no limit and it's open all year
There are no restrictions and the season lasts all year
Well, I killed a big 40 ounce just the other day
I recently drank a large 40 oz beer
He didn't even run didn't try to get away
I was able to drink the entire beer without difficulty
Hung him on the wall for all my friends to see
I displayed the empty beer bottle on my wall as a trophy
Like shootin' fish in a barrel, it just don't seem right
It's too easy to drink beer and it feels wrong
It ain't against the law, you can kill 'em all night
There are no laws preventing alcohol consumption
Ask the game warden, he's sittin' right next to me
Even the authority figure is present and allowing the activity
You can lose that camo and lay your rifles down
You can take off your hunting gear and put away your guns
Belly up and let's pull the trigger on another round
Let's drink another round of beer
You can go out in the woods alone
You can go hunting alone in the woods
Shiver shakin' to the bone
Feeling very cold and uncomfortable outdoors
Probably catch your death of cold
There's a high chance of getting sick from being cold
I'll be sittin' right back here
I'll be comfortably sitting back and drinking beer
Where there ain't no limit and it's open all year
Where there are no rules or restrictions and the beer season lasts all year
Don't want 'em to overpopulate
We need to prevent overpopulation of the new prey
Better kill some more
We need to catch more to control their population
