GEveryday in lunch in high school
And all Dmy senior year,
I'd drink my coca-cola with a Ctouch of evercGlear.
I didn't have to study math, Dscience or history,
I'd have a chemical flashback to Cjog my memoryG.
My junior year I swore I loved Dsweet miss Sherry Ann
One night I put some everclear in her Cdr. pepper cGan.
I Cthought it would make her easy,
GBut she took it pretty hard
I took her Dhome and rang her doorbell,
Left her laCying in the yarGd.
CHORUS
CTequila dries me Gout,
CAnd beer just makes me fGat,
DWhiskey makes me nauseous,
Tell me Cwho the hell needs Gthat.

The aDnswer's crystal clear,
It's the invisible intoxicant,
CIt's called everclear.

In the sDpring of '89
They had four fresh watermelons,
CSliced right off the vine.G  
When the bowed their heads
DGiving Grace for the food,
I pulled out my bottle,
And I soakeCd them melons Ggood.
They never knew what hit em,
When the Dpotion went to work,
They had grandmas doing backflips,
Grandpas Clooking up their Gskirts.
They were Csinging hallelujah,
And GWillie Nelson songs.
My preacher Dsaid it was the best dang picnic
That the CBaptists have ever thrown.

G C G D G C G D G

( ) x2

Everyday in lunch in high school

And all my senior year,

C G

I'd drink my coca-cola with a touch of everclear.

I didn't have to study math, science or history,

C G

I'd have a chemical flashback to jog my memory.

My junior year I swore I loved sweet miss Sherry Ann

C G

One night I put some everclear in her dr. pepper can.

I thought it would make her easy,

But she took it pretty hard

I took her home and rang her doorbell,

C G

Left her laying in the yard.

CHORUS

C G

Tequila dries me out,

C G

And beer just makes me fat,

Whiskey makes me nauseous,

C G

Tell me who the hell needs that.

If you're thinkin' bout drinkin,

The answer's crystal clear,

It's the invisible intoxicant,

It's called everclear.

Riff 1 x2

I remember my church picnic

In the spring of '89

They had four fresh watermelons,

C G

Sliced right off the vine.

When the bowed their heads

Giving Grace for the food,

I pulled out my bottle,

C G

And I soaked them melons good.

They never knew what hit em,

When the potion went to work,

They had grandmas doing backflips,

C G

Grandpas looking up their skirts.

They were singing hallelujah,

And Willie Nelson songs.

My preacher said it was the best dang picnic

That the Baptists have ever thrown.

CHORUS

C G

Tequila dries me out,

C G

And beer just makes me fat,

Whiskey makes me nauseous,

C G

Tell me who the hell needs that.

If you're thinkin' bout drinkin,

The answer's crystal clear,

It's the invisible intoxicant,

It's called everclear.

Well now I'm drinking everclear,

Thinking I'm king of this whole world

I'm bigger n badder than John Wayne,

C G

Cooler than Steve Earl.

G D

Till I wake up and I'm face down in the hall,

C G

And I'm completely naked for a reason I can't recall

G D

I'm kinda sorta thinkin that maybe I met a chick

Cause there is perfume in the air

C G

And there is lipstick on my neck

Well I hope that she was pretty,

And I hope that she was kind

Enough to leave my clothes somewhere

They're easy to find

CHORUS

C G

Tequila dries me out,

C G

And beer just makes me fat,

Whiskey makes me nauseous,

C G

Tell me who the hell needs that.

If you're thinkin' bout drinkin,

The answer's crystal clear,

It's the invisible intoxicant,

It's called everclear.
