One Beer Can

Bonnie threw a party

His parents left town

He told a few people who told a few people word got around

It was a legendary evenin'

The whole place got trashed

It took all day Sunday four his buddies and twelve black bags

They got it all cleaned up hauled it off the truck

Before his parents got back

When they got home he gave them a hug

And almost a heart attack

'Cause there was one beer can

Lying there on the floor

Right behind the sofa

You could see it from the door

His daddy threw a fit

And finally he discovered it

There ain't nothing in this world to ruin your whole summer

Like one beer can

One beer can

Bonnie had a car

His parents paid for

He'd take it out on dates

And drive it out to the lake

But he don't anymore

All of his friends

Are still going out

Not a care in the world

Just thinking about girls

And Bobby sittin' home thinking about

That one beer can

Lying there on the floor

Right behind the sofa

He could see it from the door

That's all it took

You talk about a bummer

There ain't nothing in this world can ruin your whole summer

Like one beer can

One beer can

It could've been worse

But that ain't the point

It could've been a rubber or a half smoked joint

The hardest part is it was almost fine

Drank a hundred beers and cleared up ninety-nine

But there was one beer can

Lying there on the floor

Right behind the sofa

You could see it from the door

His daddy had a fit

Finally he discovered it

There ain't nothing in this world to ruin your whole summer

Like one beer can

One beer can
