When I was 17
I drank a very good beer
It was a premium light, a simple brew of barley and hops
We'd hide from the cops, we had to stay unseen
When I was 17

When I was 21
I drank a very good beer
And another one, then another one, until they were gone
From dusk until dawn, we thought it was fun
When I was 21

When I was 35
I drank a very good beer
It was an imported brew for those select few of independent means
We'd eat fine cuisine, we felt so alive
When I was 35

But now I'm older still
And I no longer count the years
I've seen Vietnam, men on the moon, and presidents shot
But no matter what, through tears and through cheers
There has always been the beer
