18 Beers and a Drive Home
slow australian country melancholic acousticLyrics
[Verse]
Will and Matt hit the big ol' casino,
Money in their pockets, hearts all aglow,
Placed a bet on red, let the wheel spin round,
Lady Luck smiled, they took the win down.
[Verse 2]
To the bar they went, feelin' like kings,
Ordered 18 cold ones, let the laughter ring,
Each bottle clinked with dreams and cheers,
Forgot all worries, drowned in beers.
[Chorus]
18 beers and a drive home,
Winding roads where the wild things roam,
Victory tasted sweet, but they should've known,
A heavy price for the seeds they'd sown.
[Verse 3]
Will was singin', Matt was too,
Night stretched on, stars peeked through,
Stumble and stagger, keys in hand,
Forgot the dangers on that dusty land.
[Chorus]
18 beers and a drive home,
Winding roads where the wild things roam,
Victory tasted sweet, but they should've known,
A heavy price for the seeds they'd sown.
[Bridge]
Sirens wailing, hearts beat fast,
Skies turned black, their night didn't last,
Flashing lights, a sobering truth,
Two lives changed in that moment of proof.
