  • We're seventeen in this small town
    Weak knees in a CVS
    Door locked in the bathroom
    What's it gonna be waitin' on that test?
    Never thought that they'd be
    Puttin' those life plans on the shelf
    A couple American babies raisin' one up their self

    One beer turns into a lit cigarette
    Burnin' into a two beer buzz
    Three beers turns into five and six
    Then a love drunk kiss in the back of that truck
    Just like that, everything rearranges
    Life changes out of the blue
    It's just a Bud Light, but ain't it funny
    What one beer can turn into?

    Sesame Street on the TV
    A race car rollin' on a cardboard bridge
    Crayon stick figure family
    Stuck right there front center on the fridge
    Flash back to two pink lines
    A whole bunch of prayin' and doubtin'
    Felt like the end of the world
    Now the world don't spin without 'em (hey, yeah)
    Oh, 'cause

    One beer turns into a lit cigarette
    Burnin' into a two beer buzz
    Three beers turns into five and six
    Then a love drunk kiss in the back of that truck
    (In the back of that truck)
    Just like that, everything rearranges
    Life changes out of the blue
    It's just a Bud Light, but ain't it funny
    What one beer can turn into?

    A boy and a girl and a three on the tree
    K-I-S-S-I-N-G
    First comes lust, then the shotgun marriage
    Six months later come a baby in a carriage
    You know what, y'all? You know what, y'all?
    The whole thing started with some alcohol
    The whole thing started with some alcohol (hey, yeah)

    One beer turns into a lit cigarette
    Burnin' into a two beer buzz (into a two beer buzz)
    Three beers turns into five and six
    Then a love drunk kiss in the back of that truck
    Just like that, everything rearranges
    Life changes out of the blue
    It's just a Bud Light, but ain't it funny
    What one beer can turn into?

    A boy and a girl and a three on the tree
    K-I-S-S-I-N-G (oh)
    First comes lust, then the shotgun marriage
    Six months later come a baby in a carriage
    That's not all (nah), that's not all (nah)
    Here we go again, drinkin' alcohol, yeah Writer/s: Hilary Lindsay, Jake Mitchell, Michael Wilson Hardy
