  • Be -double E double are you-N-beer run
    Be -double E double are you-N-beer run
    All we need is a ten and five-er,
    Car and key and a sober driver,
    Be -double E double are you-N-beer run
    A couple of frat guys from abilene
    Drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
    At the K-pei swine and sworay dance-
    They wore baseball caps and khaki pants-
    They wanted cigarettes-so to save a little money-
    They got one from this hippie who smelt kina funny
    And-next thing they knew they were both pretty hungry-
    And pretty thirsty tooo

    be -double E double are you-N-beer run
    Be -double E double are you-N-beer are you-unn
    All we need is a ten and five-er,
    Car and key and a sober driver,
    Be -double E double are you-N-beer run

    found a store with a sign-said
    There beer was coldest-so they sent
    In Brad- cause he looked the oldest
    -he got a case of beer and a candy bar
    -walked over to where all them registers are
    Laid his fake id on the countertop
    The clerk looked, he turned up, he looked he stopped.
    He said "son, I'm not gonna call the cops, but I'm gonna
    Have to keep this card"-
    The guys both took it pretty haard

    be -double E double are you-N-beer run
    Be -double E double are you-N-beer are you-un
    Oh how happy we would be-
    Had we only brought a better fake id
    Be -double E double are you-N-beer run

    they found this nother old hippie named
    Sleepie john-claimed to be the one from the Robert
    Earl Keen song
    So they gave him all their cash-he bought em some brew
    -was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
    They were feelin' so good it shoulda been a crime-
    The crowd was cool and the band was prime
    They made it back up front to their seats just in time
    So they could sing with all their friends
    They sang-"the rode goes on forever and the party
    Never eends"

    be -double E double are you-N-beer run
    All we need is a ten and a five-er car and
    Key and a sober driver
    Be -double E double are you-N-beer run Writer/s: KEITH CHRISTOPHER, TODD SNIDER
