Lyrics

[Verse 1] Came up short last week and that ain't the first time It's a curse when your hurtin' and you're stuck workin' for the man It's forty long hours that lead me to this bar stool As he pours me another I say "Hey brother I got me the perfect plan" [Chorus] If I got paid for drinkin' beer, all my problems would disappear 'Cause my bank account would be as full as that next glass Be making money I wouldn't complain, 'cause the more I drink the more I'd make From the open sign 'til closin' time, I'd be employee of the year I'd have it made if I got paid for drinkin' beer [Verse 2] Guess I'd wake up around ninе o'clock start knockin' 'em back 'round ten (Knockin' 'em back 'round tеn) Hell, if I know me I'm gonna overachieve over and over again [Chorus] If I got paid for drinkin' beer, all my problems would disappear 'Cause my bank account would be as full as that next glass Be making money I wouldn't complain, 'cause the more I drink the more I'd make From the open sign 'til closing time, I'd be employee of the year I'd have it made if I got paid for drinkin' beer [Bridge] If I got that job I'd never need another I'd have a pile of deadlines and mile of quotas to make 'Cause I'm a thirsty man, I tell you I got it covered Won't need a lunch break, never take a holiday, go in early and stay back late [Chorus] If I got paid for drinkin' beer, all my problems would disappear 'Cause my bank account would be as full as that next glass Be making money I wouldn't complain, 'cause the more I drink the more I'd make From the open sign 'til closing time, I'd be employee of the year I'd have it made if I got paid for drinkin' beer I'd have it made if I got paid for drinkin' beer
