Текст Old 97’s – Beer Cans

I got laid off my job a week ago today
Now I just can’t bring myself to apply for welfare pay
Now I’m walking down that big ol’ interstate
I never thought that this would ever be my fate

Chorus:
I’m just picking up beer cans on the highway
It’s the only thing I ever want to do
I’m just picking up beer cans on the highway
I gotta save my dough so I can marry you

Well you can drop me off on Highway 34
I hear they got some beer cans there, and I gotta get some more
Drive me into town so we can cash ’em in
Then we will never have to live in sin

Chorus

In a ditch, I see a flashy shining thing
Well it’s only a pop top, but it reminds me of a ring
The wedding ring you’d wear the day you marry me
And that’s the day I’m gonna be in ecstasy

Chorus x2

I’ve gotta save my dough so I can marry you
