Four of us started, just a handful of guys
One night a month under Oklahoma skies
Took turns the host, we'd roll up to the door
Better brews, bigger patties than the month before
Six or eight or ten would show, no RSVP
Just email or call, You comin' tonight
Laughter loud enough to rattle the fence
Talkin' life, love, and common sense
Burgers and beer, man, those were the days
Grill smoke risin' in a smoky haze
Cold ones clinkin', stories gettin' told
Friendships forged in the firelight gold
We'd raise 'em high, let the good times roll
Burgers and beer, feedin' the soul
I hosted one time in the hanger bay
Big plans, big fryer, thought it'd be okay
Jalapeño fries sizzlin' hot and mean
Then the whole damn thing flipped—nearly burned the scene
We laughed till we cried, put the fire out quick
No one got hurt, just a hell of a tale
One more story for the Burgers and Beer trail
Burgers and beer, man, those were the days
Grill smoke risin' in a smoky haze
Cold ones clinkin', stories gettin' told
Friendships forged in the firelight gold
We'd raise 'em high, let the good times roll
Burgers and beer, feedin' the soul
Years rolled on like empty bottles in the bin
Some brothers left us, others drifted in the wind
The barn lit nights, the backyard glow
Faded quiet, but the memories know
I still taste the char, still hear the cheer
Still miss the circle of Burgers and Beer
Burgers and beer, yeah, those were the days
Gone like the smoke in a thousand ways
But the laughs we shared, the bonds we made
They don't fade away, they just get saved
So here's to the guys, wherever you are
Raise a cold one from near or far
Burgers and beer... damn, I miss those nights
Burgers and beer... keep burnin' bright
