[Chorus]
GCheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap shirts
Are Ctwo things that stay the Gsame
So when the world starts spinnin' and Dyour head hurts
There's Ccheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap Gshirts
[Verse 1]
Yeah, the Cshade tree mechanic is a dinosaur
You can't Gcuss, you can't smoke or spit on the floor
And don't Chit on a woman, 'cause she might sue
You Dcan't buy beer in this state past two
[Chorus]
But that Gcheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap shirts
Are Ctwo things that stay the Gsame
So when the world starts spinnin' and Dyour head hurts
There's Ccheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap Gshirts
[Verse 2]
Well, now CBuddha is legal but Jesus ain't
The Gsaints are all sinners and the sinners are saints
It's Cnot how you play, it's the final score
They Ddon't show "M*A*S*H" on the tube anymore
[Chorus]
But that Gcheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap shirts
Are Ctwo things that stay the Gsame
So when the world starts spinnin' and Dyour head hurts
There's Ccheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap Gshirts
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
And now Clovers usually leave at the drop of a ring
And GDaddy doesn't smile when a mockingbird sings
The Ckids are in school, but they're all packing guns
The Dlosers live forever and the good die young
[Chorus]
But that Gcheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap shirts
Are Ctwo things that stay the Gsame
So when the world starts spinnin' and Dyour head hurts
There's Ccheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap Gshirts
[Verse 4]
Now the Cstars are all fallin' out of the sky
The Gdoors are all locked and the bottle is dry
So Cpass me a chew and I'll sing you a song
If there's a Dproblem with that, we can get it on
[Chorus]
'Cause that Gcheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap shirts
Are Ctwo things that stay the Gsame
So when the world starts spinnin' and Dyour head hurts
There's Ccheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap shirts
CCheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap Gshirts
