First to Last Beer

It was almost midnight, I'll be 18 Daddy needed help with the truck could you come and help me When the job was done, he reached in the fridge Grab two long necks and said son here is your gift Then we chugged it all down He said I can't stress this out Don't tell your mother, don't tell your brothers Matter of fact don't tell any other That I let you drink You're still my boy but I'm like damn I can't believe that you're a man Who would think it As we look back on all of your years with your first beer I'm all grown up now, at 43 My first born son is about to be 18 Broke through the reach-in, there was only two Take these downstairs before your mama sees you I was livin' in the past like it was me and my dad Don't tell your mother, don't tell your brothers Matter of fact don't tell any other That I let you drink You're still my boy but I'm like damn I can't believe that you're a man Who would think it As we celebrate all of your years with your first beer The day has finally come, for dad to say good-bye taking all the strength I have for me not to cry Dad it's okay, you don't have to fight But before you go could we have one more Coors Light Then I reached in the bag It was me and my dad Don't tell my mother, don't tell my brothers Matter of fact don't tell any other That I let you drink You're still my pa but I'm like damn Thank you for everything I am Still can't believe it I'm gonna honor you and all of your years I'm gonna drink it down before my first tears After your last beer
