[Verse 1] Its the simple things in life But life aint so simple right Times get hard and people can make you mad But I remember when I was young I couldnt wait to turn 21 To sit in the backyard sun and drink beer with dad [Hook] Drinking beer with dad Out there on the back porch swinging Drinking beer with dad Picking my guitar and grinning [Verse 2] Wed hem and haw, wed cuss and fight But thats where I learned lifes best advice Wed talk about when I was young and bad Sometimes hed make me fightin mad The best education I ever had Was out there on the back porch drinking beer with dad [Verse 3] Nowadays most things have changed This whole world is heading down the drain Theres no God in schools Totin guns is the latest fad A little discipline would sure be nice A little lesson in wrong and right Maybe its time young man to have a beer with dad [Hook] [Verse 4] Id play him songs all through the night Like praise the Lord I saw the light Wed stay up late and make mom mad But half the time wed just laugh and laugh Some of the best times I ever had Was out there on the back porch drinking beer with dad [Verse 5] Now son Im so damn proud of you And the young man youve turned into Youre the best son a father could ever have And though your grandpas done past on Soon youll be 21 So come on the back porch son and have a beer with dad [Hook] [Outro] Well hem and haw, well cuss and fight But Ill pass along lifes best advice Well talk about your old granddad The things he gave us he never had I wish forever our time could last I wish this world wouldnt move so fast Out here on the back porch Out here on the back porch drinking beer with dad
