This old man and me were at the bar and we Were havin' us some beers and swappin' I don't cares Talkin' politics, blonde and red head chicks Old dogs and new tricks and habits we ain't kicked
We talked about God's grace and all the hell we raised Then I heard the ol' man say God is great, beer is good and people are crazy
He said I fought two wars, been married and divorced What brings you to Ohio? He said damned if I know We talked an hour or two about every girl we knew What all we put 'em through like two old boys will do
We pondered life an death, he lit a cigarette He said these damn things will kill me yet But God is great, beer is good and people are crazy
Last call it's 2 a.m., I said goodbye to him, I never talked to him again Then one sunny day, I saw the old mans face Front page obituary, he was a millionaire He left his fortune to some guy he barely knew His kids were mad as hell, but me I am doing well
And I dropped by today to just say thanks and pray And I left a six pack right there on his grave And I said God is great, beer is good and people are crazy
God is great, beer is good and people are crazy God is great, beer is good and people are crazy
