“Three Little Words (Ice Cold Beer)”
Charlie McNamara
Bethesda, Maryland
Videos by American Songwriter
When my days are lonely
When my nights are long
All my efforts wasted
All my guesses wrong
What delivers comfort?
What dispels the fear?
Answer in three little words:
Ice cold beer
Chorus:
Whisper what I long to hear
Three little words
Ice cold beer
Music ringing in my ears
Angels singing
Ice cold beer
Friend to all the friendless
Cure for all your ills
Banish pipes and powders
Banish smoke and pills
When you pick your poison
Only one choice is clear
Guaranteed to satisfy-
Ice cold beer
Repeat Chorus
When my inning’s over
When my race is run
Stretch me in my casket
Pale face towards the sun
Carve upon my tombstone
What I’ve written here:
“Here lies one who died for love
of ice cold beer”
Repeat Chorus
