We met when I was nine, on a warm July night Alone on the front stops, 'neath the yellow porch light And I proved I was a man over and over again To my new love, my new friend, my beer can When I turned 16, I was a drinkin' machine Killin' 12-packs of tall boys, nearly two times a week Five feet tall and bulletproof, a brick wall thanks to you You're my true love, my best friend, my beer can You were the first one to kiss my lips And you still make me feel great inside And even though there's times I go crazy I'll never blame you 'til the day you say goodbye Oh say somethin' to me Oh 21 years old, so in love don't you know Yeah e make out every night out on the town and at home Whether warm or ice cold, one look at you and I'm sold You're my hero, my best friend, my beer can And you're still the last one to hold my hand Late at night when I lay down my head And every time I find myself lonely You're the only one I want in my bed Well the years have gone by, it's funny how the beers fly I'm a grown man now, but you still make me act like a child You're so good to me, you're all that I need You're my true love, my best friend, my beer can You're my first and my last My present and my past My true love, 'til the sweet foamy end My beer can
