Billy Currington - Pretty Good At Drinkin' Beer

I'm putting in a rose garden.  Which means getting to be good friends with Mr. Shovel.

Do not want.  Y'know, there's a Country Music song about that ...

I must confess that I haven't been a huge fan of Billy Currington.  I think the reason is that his most popular songs have been about ridiculous situations: Average Joe getting invited up to a private party at Shania's, or Average Joe inheriting a fortune because he was so much, err, something than the old millionaire's family.  I'm afraid that I have real trouble suspending my disbelief here.

But when it comes to digging rose gardens?  Billy hits it out of the park.  Lord save me, I chuckle every time I hear this.



Pretty Good Drinkin' Beer (Songwriter: Troy Jones)
I wasn't born for diggin deep holes
I'm not made for pavin long roads
I aint cut out to climb high line poles
But I'm pretty good at drinkin beer

I'm not the type to work in a bank
I'm no good at slappin on paint
Don't have a knack for makin motors crank, no
But I'm pretty good at drinkin beer

So hand me one more
That's what I'm here for
I'm built for having a ball
I love the nightlife
I love my budlight
I like 'em cold and tall

I aint much for mowin thick grass
I'm too slow for workin' too fast
I don't do windows so honey don't ask
But I'm pretty good at drinkin' beer

A go getter maybe I'm not
I'm not known for doin' a lot
But I do my best work when the weather's hot
I'm pretty good at drinkin' beer

So hand me one more
That's what I'm here for
I'm built for having a ball
I love the nightlife
I love my budlight
I like 'em cold and tall

I wasn't born for diggin deep holes
I'm not made for pavin long roads
I aint cut out to climb high line poles
But I'm pretty good at drinkin beer
I'm pretty good at drinkin beer
