Beer Can
Luke Combs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been working this job nine to five
Minimum wage and overtime
But here comes a few days of unpaid vacation
And there ain't no way, Jose, I'll waste 'em
'Cause there ain't no better feeling than when

I pick up a beer can
And get to feeling like Superman
It's Friday night, y'all, here's the plan
I'm gonna throw back a couple and
Keep 'em glued to my right hand
Any flavor, size, or brand
Until the point where I can't stand
No, nothing picks me up like a beer can

Well, I woke up at 1 pm
And introduced myself to my new girlfriend
And there's a wrecking-ball-sized hole in the wall in the basement
I ain't got no clue how or who could've made it
Well, all I know is shit hit the fan
And here we go again

So I pick up a beer can
And get to feeling like Superman
It's Saturday, y'all, here's a plan
I'm gonna throw back a couple and
Keep 'em glued to my right hand
Any flavor, size, or brand
Until the point where I can't stand
No, nothing picks me up like a beer can

Well, it's Sunday now and I'm freaking out
'Cause I can't handle five days without

Yeah, I'm picking up a beer can
And get to feeling like Superman
It's Sunday, who gives a damn?
I'm gonna throw back a couple and
Keep 'em glued to my right hand
Any flavor, size, or brand
'Til the point where I can't stand
No, nothing picks me up like a beer can





Like a beer can
No, nothing picks me up like a beer can
