Warm Tears and Cold Beers

They all said when you left It would take a few years And some time for me to move on from here But this guy won’t soon forget All the good times that we had Yeah those days of ease and memories I hold dear Yeah, I tried to figure it out While lubricating a lot of fear Yeah, the whiskey kept things inside of me But the memories clear In time I began to see A future where I needed to be And all it took was some warm tears And a few cold beers You know they all were right I was holding on too tight I thought I was fearin’ but I was just here-and all-alone But with help from old man time And some tequila, cold beer and limes I took over the talkin’ to do some walkin’ On my own Yeah, I tried to figure it out While lubricating a lot of fear Yeah, the whiskey kept things inside of me But the memories clear In time I began to see A future where I needed to be And all it took was some warm tears And a few cold beers These days I’m doin’ just fine I still toast you with Tecate and lime Cause in all these years With just a few tears I still hold you dear And all it took was some warm tears And a few cold beers
