The First Day of the Rest of My Beer

[good4somethingbum]

The First Day(of the Rest of My Beer)While I was off at work, two gals from a hardcore churchStarted studyin’ the Good Book with my wifeThey said when she got baptized, it’d open up her eyesTo the first day of the rest of her lifeGot home one Friday night, my baby took me asideAnd said she was gettin’ dunked Sunday at dawnSo I went to the store, picked up a case of CoorsCos heaven help me…I sensed that I was onThe first day of the rest of my beerWhen the real me would start to disappearWhen I baptized my troubles, in sweet golden bubblesI saw the light when I couldn’t see clearLife ain’t the same without itAnd just thinkin’ about itMakes me shed a tearYeah, the first day of the rest of my beerI spent nearly two days, in a wonderful hazeMy brain soaked up that brew like a spongeSunday I crawled from bed, with nitro in my headTo watch my righteous lady take the plungeDown at the riverside, we showed up at first lightI asked the deacon if he recalled bein’ dunkedHe whispered kinda low, “it was a long time agoAll I remember is still bein’ half drunkFrom the first day of the rest of my beerWhen the real me would start to disappearWhen I baptized my troubles, in sweet golden bubblesI saw the light when I couldn’t see clearLife ain’t the same without itAnd just thinkin’ about itMakes me shed a tearYeah, the first day of the rest of my beerRepeat chorus…©2007 Robert George
