Cold Beer
Sam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you had an arm like old Brett Farve
Wind at your back
Wouldn't be that hard
To throw a rock from end to end of this little town
We got football, fishing, pretty girls to chase
Corn fields, mama's kitchen, sins floating away
From the banks of a river
Then it's Sunday dinner on the ground

(chorus)
Just a handful of down home everyday folks
Up and at 'em when the rooster crows
We take a lot of pride in the simple life
‘Round here
We're all about Jesus, Mama and Cold Beer...


cround 8 o'clock
That old barber shop goes to filling up with ears to drop
Might be some sleepy eyes from last night's letting down their hair
The 10 commandments still hang on the wall
In a hardware store at the county town hall
cnd the PTc's still got the final say
On the who's and the what's and the where's

(chorus)
Just a handful of down home everyday folks
Up and at 'em when the rooster crows
We take a lot of pride in the simple life
‘Round here
We're all about Jesus, Mama and Cold Beer...

(chorus)
Just a handful of down home everyday folks
Up and at 'em when the rooster crows
We take a lot of pride in the simple life
‘Round here
We're all about Jesus, Mama and Cold Beer...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sam's song "Cold Beer" paint a vivid picture of a small town where life is simple and centered around a few key elements. The opening lines draw a comparison to legendary quarterback Brett Farve's arm strength, suggesting that if one had such a powerful arm, it wouldn't be difficult to throw a rock from one end of the town to the other. This sets the tone for the song, highlighting the small size and tight-knit nature of the community.


The lyrics go on to describe the various aspects of this town that its inhabitants take pride in. Football, fishing, and pursuing pretty girls are mentioned, representing common pastimes and sources of joy. The reference to cornfields and mama's kitchen evoke feelings of nostalgia and hominess, while the mention of sins floating away suggests a place where people can find solace and redemption.


On Sundays, the community gathers for a traditional dinner on the ground, emphasizing the importance of family and togetherness. The chorus emphasizes the values held dear in this town: Jesus, Mama, and cold beer. These elements symbolize faith, familial love, and the simple pleasure of enjoying a drink with friends. Through these lyrics, the song captures the essence of a close-knit community that finds joy and contentment in life's simple pleasures.

"Ridin my bike around these lakes man,Feelin like I finally figured out my escape plan, Take it all in. the day started off all wrong, Somehow now that hangover is all gone, Ain't nothing like the sound of the leaves, When the breeze penetrates these southside trees, Leanin' up against one, watchin the vibe, Forgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm alive.. sunshine, sunshine its fine, I feel it on my skin warmin up my mind. I love the days when it shines " -Atmosphere- sunshine
