Verse
Parked on this stool since the storm rolled in,
Neon hummin’ low, buzzin’ through the dim.
Turns out goodbye leaves more than a scar
Now I’m talkin’ to a bottle in the dark.
Pre-Chorus
You swore forever, guess that wasn’t true,
Now I’m reachin’ for somethin’ that’ll see me through.
Chorus
Longnecks don’t leave you on a Friday night,
Straight shots don’t ever switch sides.
They don’t walk in with somebody new,
Don’t leave you wonderin’ what you thought you knew.
Yeah, it burns a little, but it’s honest every time —
Beer don’t cheat, and tequila don’t lie.
Verse
Pulled up to your place, saw a truck I didn’t know,
Porch light cuttin’ shadows, tellin’ me to go.
Pulled up your last text sayin’ "out with the girls",
But there ain’t no girls’ night in a two-truck world.
Pre-Chorus
You had me fooled, yeah I bought that line,
Funny how the truth shows up with time.
Chorus
I just need somethin’ on my side tonight,
One more round don’t ever switch sides.
They don’t say one thing then change it on you,
Don’t leave you wonderin’ what’s really true.
Yeah, it burns a little, but it’s honest every time —
Beer don’t cheat, and tequila don’t lie.
Bridge
I keep sayin’ I’m fine, but it don’t ring true,
Every time I close my eyes, I still see you.
Yeah, I raise one up just to drown it all out,
But it ain’t the drink — it’s the doubt.
Chorus
I ain’t lookin’ for forever in this neon light,
Just somethin’ that don’t cross that line.
Ain’t gotta wonder where it goes at night,
Ain’t gotta second guess what’s right.
Yeah, it burns a little, but it’s honest every time —
Beer don’t cheat, and tequila don’t lie.
Outro
Funny what you trust when the truth runs dry.
Beer don’t cheat, and tequila don’t lie.
