This is the longest beer of the night but in the east I think I see some light   And then pretty soon I know the sun will shine   I know a bar that opens promptly at nine at nine   I guess two six packs wasn't enough   Cause right about now the goin' really gets rough   Yeah and some early bird is happy calling its mate   And I wish I knew a bar that opens door so promptly at eight   Maybe I was just a fool thinking I could drown you out of my mind   But the longest part of the day is just before nine before nine   I can see the dew that settle on the ground ha ha ha   And if I'm not careful your mem'ry's gonna come around   And that's the reason that I just gotta stay tight   So I'm just nursin' the longest beer of the night   I'm just nursin' the longest beer of the night
