Eric Church
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
It was a perfect day for the end of May, they say a record high I stared at that green water when out of the blue and by surprise She had her feet up on the cooler as she put our love on ice She grabbed a beer, said, "I'm out of here," And walked out of my life That was a cold one I never will get back Yeah she had to leave, did she have to leave me one beer Short of a twelve pack? She left me hanging high and dry in that hell high summer sun Damn babe, that was a cold one It ain't the first time, or the last time I watched love walk out But it's damn sure the one time I still ain't forgot about I still like to drink a beer but a long neck I won't do 'Cause every time I see one sweating, man I break out in one too That was a cold one I never will get back Yeah she had to leave, did she have to leave me one beer Short of a twelve pack? She left me hanging high and dry in that hell high summer sun Damn babe, that was a cold one That was a cold one I never will get back Yeah she had to leave, did she have to leave me one beer Short of a twelve pack? She left me hanging high and dry in that hell high summer sun Damn babe, that was a cold one Damn babe, that was a cold one (damn!)
