Everclear

Pat Green

Every day in lunch in high school and all my senior year

I'd drink my coca cola with a touch of Everclear

I never had to study math, science, or history

I'd have a chemical flash back to jog my memory



My junior year I swore I loved sweet Miss Sherri Ann

One night I put some Everclear in her Dr. Pepper can

Well I thought it'd make her easy

She took it pretty hard

I took her home and rang her doorbell left her lying in the yard



Chorus

Tequila dries me out

Beer just makes me fat

Whiskey makes me nauseous

Now tell me who the hell needs that

So if youre thinking about drinking

Well the answers crystal clear

It's the invisible, intoxicant

It's called Everclear



I remember my church picnic

In the spring of '89

Yeah they had four fresh watermelons

Sliced right off the vine

When they bowed their heads giving grace for the food

Hey I pulled out my bottle and I soaked them melons good

Well they never knew what hit em

When that potion went to work

They had grandmas doing back flips

Grandpas looking up their skirts

They were singing hallelujah and Willie Nelson songs

Preacher said it was the best dang picnic

That the Baptists had ever thrown



Chorus

Tequila dries me out

Beer just makes me fat

Whiskey makes me nauseous

Now tell me who the hell needs that

So if youre thinking about drinking

Well the answers crystal clear

It's the invisible, intoxicant

It's called Everclear



When I'm drinking Everclear

I think I'm king of this whole world

I'm bigger and badder than John Wayne

Cooler than Steve Earl

Until I wake up and I'm face down in the hall

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

Well I'm kinda sorta thinking that maybe I met chick

Cause there's perfume in the air

And there's 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

Tequila dries me out
