I sit back And let the beer ease through me. I can feel it in my teeth
I’d fall down If I tried to reach the bedroom and I’m too damned drunk to sleep.

And so I get all sentimental like all good drunkards do
And I look back on my life and everything that I’ve been through

Cause the beer makes the past stronger, it makes the hurt last longer
And it reaches back through years
And though it makes the present cloudy, the past comes crystal clear.


Looking back farther, ever, than before.
Cars that I bought And the men that I’ve fought and the women I fought them for

They say learning don’t come easy, but ignorance ain’t free
There are prices in our lives that we pay but we can’t see

But the beer works like an x-ray cutting through your memories
Til you even see the bones. But no-one wants to hear about it
So I’ll just sit and drink my beer alone.

If I could turn back time, I would drink a lot less now.
Or at least that’s just the way it seems to be.
It’s just the meaning of life that wI've been looking for, somehow,
Right here in my Beer Powered Time Machine

And somehow I’ve lost my balance, but I’ll find it again
Cause a lifetime moves in cycles and I drink a kind of zen

Until I am the beer inside me, flowing through my veins until I somehow find myself
And all the memories that have made me are in there somewhere locked up on a shelf.

If I could turn back time, I would drink a lot less now.
Or at least that’s just the way it seems to be. It’s just the meaning of life
That I've been looking for, somehow, right here in my Beer Powered Time Machine
