Beer View Mirror © 2012 Cameron Earnshaw/Robert George SESAC/BMI

Yeah, pull me another beer, Barkeep
I’ll call a ride tonight so take these here car keys
Hold on now…you’re talkin’ too fast
What’s that you’re tryin’ to ask
How’d my dinner date go
With my new girlfriend Brianna’s folks
I thought it went purdy good
For a guy raised in the Georgia woods
With cousins all over the south
From Brownsville up to Roanoke
Sure, I talk with a lazy southern drawl
But it ain’t like I’m some hick Neanderthal

Told ‘em that I almost did some time
Fer some drunken barroom brawlin’
Though I’ve never had imported wine
Once I smoked some stuff that’s Guatemalan

YEAH, the more I chug
The better I look
And it’s quite a catch
Their daughter has hooked
I love how the view
Seems so much clearer
When I’m lookin’ through
A beer view mirror

Muscle Shoals sure ain’t Martha’s Vineyard
And Streisand sure as hell ain’t Lynyrd Synyrd
But so what if she’s a Boston girl
And we come from diff’rent worlds
Hell, Barkeep…you know me
I’m nuthin’ if not cultured, smooth n suave
I showed up in a Molly Hatchet shirt
Brianna wore a tailored blouse n skirt
That was matching magenta, pink and mauve
And when her daddy said he went to Yale
I said my daddy got his GED in jail

And it ain’t like my cuisine’s low rent
I like drive-thru n diner take-out
So I blamed it on my southern accent
When I mispronounced “angus” at that fancy steakhouse

BUT the more I chug
The better I look
And it’s quite a catch
Their daughter has hooked
I love how the view
Seems so much clearer
When I’m lookin’ through
A beer view mirror

YEAH, the more I chug
The better I look
And it’s quite a catch
Their daughter has hooked
I love how the view
Seems so much clearer
When I’m lookin’ through
A beer view mirror

I’m crazy n cute
I’m tall dark n handsome
I got these pleather boots
At a Wal-Mart in Branson…

Hey Couch,

Perfect. A great story well told.

If anything I would like to hear b/v,s to emphasis the hook.

Nice work,

cheers, niteshift

Thanks niteshift.

I just hope this'd be something someone'd crank while drinking an ice cold Bud.

Good stuff. Incorrigible comes to mind. Who else would try to insert anus in a song? A for heifer-t!
Stay sick Rob!

Thanks, Mike.

Love the melody and vocal.. that's a given for sure!!

But........... damn that's alot of lines for verses. I'm not getting a picture of who this guy is and who he's talking to.

edit edit edit......................... everything has to point to the hook line right? So to me, beer view mirror is a great great hook, but it implies.............. that this guys should be regretting some [naughty word removed] he did... now that he sees through the beer view mirror.

I'm gonna think on this one.. cus the melody is spot on, the chorus is spot on............. !!!

Hi Kay. This was intended to be country rap, hick-hop, that's why the vss are long with all the rhymes.

He's talking to the barkeep (first line), and he's a goober good ole boy with a snooty Boston girlfriend. But he's good enough for her when he's had a few...his "beer view mirror".

Oh lord, please don't say country and rap in the same sentence.. LOL.......Just giving my take on it, but you're really good, no doubt.

I have no problem with rap...in principle. I love early rap songs such as Subterranean Homesick Blues, It Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) and 19th Nervous Breakdown. I even like country rap tunes like Convoy and I Wanna Talk About Me.

But in general, it's a disgrace.
