Two Bottles Of Beer
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We looked like two lobsters washed up huntin' a place to cool off
I slid my Red Stripe over next to her Corona an' lime
Buffet in the background, laughed until sundown, danced until closin' time
Over two bottles of beer, we watched the sun disappear
I knew I thought she was cool an' could tell she dug me
I could go on about that first kiss but it really all started with
Gulf breeze, Mississippi moon, a billion stars above
Half a mile down the beach from that little Tiki hut
Stopped in our tracks when we found out that we both went to school at UT
Only catch was, I was from Texas an' she was from Tennessee
Over two bottles of beer, we watched the sun disappear
I knew I thought she was cool an' could tell she dug me
I could go on about that first kiss but it really all started with
Two bottles of beer in Biloxi
By the time the tide had rode in an' rode out
We were bridgin' the gap between two college towns
Over two bottles of beer, we watched the sun disappear
I knew I thought she was cool an' could tell she dug me
I could go on about that first kiss but it really all started with
Two bottles of beer in Biloxi
Over two bottles of beer in Biloxi
The lyrics of Lonestar's "Two Bottles of Beer" tell a tale of a chance meeting between two college students on spring break in Biloxi, Mississippi. The sun is sweltering, and the two are searching for a respite from the heat. The pair bond over their shared love for beer, with one buying a Red Stripe and the other a Corona with lime. The lyrics describe their day together in detail, from the Jimmy Buffett music in the background to the dancing they do until closing time.
As night falls, the two continue their conversation on the beach, sharing stories about their college experiences. They discover they currently attend the same school, but come from different states - one from Texas and the other from Tennessee. As the night wears on, the two become closer and closer, eventually bridging the gap between their respective college towns.
The song's message is one of serendipity, with a chance meeting turning into something far more profound. It speaks to the power of a shared experience and the way that a chance encounter can change the course of one's life. The lyrics flow beautifully, painting a vivid picture of a hot day at the beach and the connection that two people can share over something as simple as a couple of bottles of beer.
