lyrics

Mom and Dad were drinkers
And so were all their friends
I guess it was a dog-gone fact
I'd be one in their end

Mom and Dad would end their day
With an ice cold drink or two
My bro' and I would sit and watch
With nothing else to do

Time went on, the years rolled by
As time is prone to do
And at some point I found myself
Downing a brew or two

Never dreamed it'd hurt me
Never seem to hurt Mom or Dad
I had no fear I loved my beer
Whenever I was sad

I'll tell you right now If you don't tell nobody
God Used to Be my Drinkin' Buddy
I'll tell you and you can bet all your money

Now I've got a drinking bud
And he said this to me
"You'll never have to drink alone
Forever you and me"

I'll tell you right now If you don't tell nobody
God Used to Be my Drinkin' Buddy
I'll tell you and you can bet all your money

We walked into a local bar
My drinking bud and me
The booze didn't seem to hurt him at all
But Lord it was killing me
We bellied up to the bar
And folks stood off a ways
Until one day I told the keep
"Set a round up for the whole damn place"

I'll tell you right now If you don't tell nobody
God Used to Be My Drinkin' Buddy
I'll tell you and you can bet alll your money
God Used To Be My Drinkin' Buddy

I'll tell you right now If you don't tell nobody
God Used to Be My Drinkin' Buddy
I'll tell you and you can bet alll your money
God Used To Be My Drinkin' Buddy
