[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Simply put, now listen here.

Hold my beer..

I’ve been standin’ on this broke down porch.. for years..

Ain’t lookin’ for no trouble.

Just tryin’ to define,

How I treat everybody with respect,

I don’t take a hard line.

But there’s a storm in a man when he’s pushed too far.

It’s like thunder rollin’ o-ver, a two-lane bar.

I don’t bark real loud, but the truth is clear.

Sometimes a man’s just gotta say…hold my beer.

[Pre-Chorus]

Simply put, (Simply put) Listen here.(Listen here)

I been bitin’ my tongue for too many years.

I’m not your puppet.(Puppet)

Don't know your plan.(Know your plan)

I’m not your cartoon of some alpha-man...

[Chorus]

Simply put, listen here, hold my beer.

I’m calm as a creek most days of the year.

I’m not a push o-ver, but here’s where it stands.

I’m just doin’ my best with these two old hands.(Oh, ooh)

I try to be kind, keep my conscience light.

But pushin’ my buttons, ain’t doin’ what’s right.

When patience runs dry, and the moment is near,

I’ll stand up slow and say... hold my beer.

[Verse 2]

I was raised on “yes sir,” “no ma’am,” and grit.

Daddy said “Son, start nothin’, but when it happens don’t quit”

But there’s time when a man’s gotta take his stand.

Plant his boots real deep and take the trouble in hand.

You can laugh, you can shove, you can run your mouth.

But there’s a limit down here, in the “sutherin” south.

When that line gets crossed, it’s loud and clear,

That you’ll hear these words… listen here...

hold my beer.

(Hold my beer)

But some folks keep on pushing their luck,(Oooo)

Mistakin’ your kindness, might mean that you’re stuck,

Till the quiet (Ooooo) old man just hits the next gear,

And somebody says, you better hold his beer!

[Chorus]

Simply put, listen here, hold my beer.

I’m calm as a creek most days of the year.

I’m not a push o-ver, but here’s where it stands.

I’m just doin’ my best with these two old hands.

I try to be kind, keep my conscience light.

But pushin’ my buttons, ain’t doin’ what’s right.

When patience runs dry, and the moment is near,

I’ll stand up slow and say... hold my beer.

[Bridge]

I ain’t proud of fightin’, that ain’t who I am.

But every good man’s got to take a stand.

So before these issues go off the rail,

You might wanna listen to this old man's tale.(Some lessons only come from here)

[Final Chorus]

Simply put, (Listen here) listen here, (Hold my beer).

I’ve swallowed my pride for too many years.

I’m not a push o-ver,(no sir) not an alpha man,

But every good man’s got a make a stand.

I tried to be kind, keep my conscience clear

But the reckoning’s callin’, loud and near.

So if you’re still talkin’, better step right here…

And somebody better just..

hold my beer...

(Hold my beer)

[Outro]

Yeah I tried to walk away from here,(Hold my beer)

But some of those lines draw themselves real clear.

(Hold my beer)

So if you're still talking, then step right here,(Hold my beer)

And somebody better..

hold my beer....

Yeah, somebody better just hold..(Hold my beer)

Hold my.... (Hold my beer)

Hold my beer…
