Beer Can’t Fix
Thomas Rhett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're all alone at a party, you wanna dance with somebody
But you ain't got a clue how to ask
You and your girl had a fight and now she's sayin' goodbye
She ran upstairs and packed her bags

It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation
Ain't gotta listen to me, but all I'm sayin'

Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain it can't wash away
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less gray
Oh, you could be lonely, or heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick
There ain't nothing that a beer can't fix

You're on a lake and you're fishin'
It's hot and all that you're gettin'
Is a little nibble here and there
You're sitttin', watchin' your team losin' that championship ring
And you're feelin like life ain't fair

It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation

Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain it can't wash away
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less gray
Oh, you could be lonely, heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix (yeehaw)

It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation
Ain't gotta save it for no special occasion

Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain it can't wash away, no
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less gray
Oh, you could be lonely (lonely)
Heartbroken (heartbroken)
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick (so quick)
It might take one or it might take six




Drink it down, it'll do the trick
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix

Overall Meaning

Thomas Rhett's "Beer Can't Fix" is a song about taking a break from the stress of life and using beer to temporarily escape problems. The first verse focuses on being at a party where the singer sees someone who wants to dance but has trouble working up the courage to ask. Meanwhile, his own girlfriend packs her bags and leaves him angry and alone. The second verse describes a variety of rough situations, from losing a championship game to struggling at work, before reassuring the listener that no matter what, beer can be a temporary fix. The chorus repeats the idea that no matter what problem you have, there's no issue that can't be glossed over with a cold beer.


The song is an anthemic celebration of the power of alcohol to temporarily alleviate problems, but it's important to also note that it isn't promoting alcoholism or unhealthy coping mechanisms. It's simply a fun tune that acknowledges the fact that sometimes, life can be tough and a little bit of alcohol can help take the edge off. The song also promotes coming together with others to share a drink, as the chorus suggests that regardless of what specific problem you have, coming together with others and sharing a beer can make everything better.
