Beer Drinker's Waltz Lyrics - Singles - Tom T. Hall

[Chorus] 

The band played and everyone talked 

Through the plain old Beer Drinker's Waltz. 

Well, they sweated and swore, and they spit on the floor 

Where the cigarette butts were all thrown 

They wrote on the wall and hid out from the law 

And the whole gang was drunk drivin' home. 

[Chorus] 

Some little snuff queen who was barely sixteen 

Played an out of tune Yamaha guitar 

Some old boy named Wink who brought his own drinks 

Had his fiddle stoled out of his car.

[Chorus] 

The man tendin' bar told the boy on guitar 

He was a-drinkin' a little too much 

They announced on the mic that they left on the lights 

In a dark blue Chevrolet truck. 

[Chorus] 

Photos 

Well, somewhere in the heavens there's a seven-o-seven 

And they're a-servin' champagne in first class 

Somewhere upstairs a child says its prayers 

Oh, but downstairs they're havin' a blast. 

[Chorus]
