Lyrics
It’s been a fifty-hour week, and countin’
Another two hundred miles on the old wide jeep and countin’
Got a hole in the roof and a hole in the sink
What’s it gonna take to fix two leaks?
Couple hundred bucks each and countin’[Chorus]
I know, I said, one more two hours ago and
I know, I said, by this time I’d be back home, but
Here I sit and here I’ll stay
I don’t know how many cold beers it takes to wash a bad week away
One, two, three, and countin’[Verse 2]
Yeah, three of my buddies just showed up and countin’
The old Braves just cost us fifty bucks and countin’
I got a four beer buzz and a for sure bet my sweetheart’s ’bout to be my ex
Four missed calls, five missed texts and countin’[Chorus]
I know, I said, one more three hours ago and
I know, I said, by this time I’d bе back home, but
Here I sit and hеre I’ll stay
I don’t know how many cold beers it takes to wash a bad week away
Four, five, six and I’m still countin’

Those bottles, cans, tops, and tabs are pilin’ up like a mountain
And countin’[Chorus]
I know, I said, one more four hours ago and
I know, I said, by this time I’d be back home, but
Here I sit and here I’ll stay
Don’t know how many cold beers it takes to wash a bad week away
Seven, eight, ten and countin’[Outro]
Whoa, I’m still countin’
Think it’s twelve, man, at least a dozen
No good, thirteen, a bakers dozen
I think that’s what they call it
And countin’
