Everyday in lunch in high school,
|
And all of my senior year,
|
I'd drink my Coca-Cola with a touch of everclear.
|
I never had to study math, science or history,
|
I'd have a chemical flashback to jog my memory.
|
In my junior year I swore I loved sweet Miss Sherrie-Ann,
|
One night I put some everclear in her Dr. Pepper can.
|
I thought it'd make her easy, but she took it pretty hard,
|
I took her home and rang her doorbell, left her lyin' in the yard.
|
|
Tequila dries me out, and beer just makes me fat.
|
Whiskey makes me nauseous, tell me who the hell needs that?
|
If you're thinkin' about drinkin', then the answer's crystal clear,
|
Its the invisible intoxicant....its called everclear.
|
|
I remember my church picnic in the spring of '89,
|
They had 4 fresh watermelon sliced right off the vine.
|
When they bowed their heads giving grace for the food,
|
Hey, I pulled out the bottle, and I soaked them melons good.
|
Well they never knew what hit 'em, when the potion went to work,
|
They had Grandma's doin' backflips, Grandpa's lookin' up their skirts.
|
They were singing Hallelujah and Willie Nelson songs,
|
Preacher said it was the best dang picnic,
|
That the baptists had ever thrown.
|
|
Tequila dries me out, and beer just makes me fat.
|
Whiskey makes me nauseous, tell me who the hell needs that?
|
If you're thinkin' about drinkin', then the answer's crystal clear,
|
Its the invisible intoxicant....its called everclear.
|
|
When I'm drinkin' everclear, I think I'm king of this whole world,
|
I'm bigger and badder than John Wayne and cooler than Steve Earle.
|
Until I wake up and I'm face down in the hall,
|
Hey, I'm completely naked, for a reason I can't recall.
|
Well I'm kinda, sorta thinkin' that maybe I met a chick,
|
'Cause there's perfume in the air, and there's lipstick on my neck.
|
Well I hope that she was pretty and I hope that she was kind,
|
Enough to leave my clothes somewhere they're easy to find.
|
|
Tequila dries me out, and beer just makes me fat.
|
Whiskey makes me nauseous; tell me who the hell needs that?
|
If you're thinkin' about drinkin', then the answer's crystal clear,
|
It’s the invisible intoxicant....its called everclear.
