Billy's at the bar,
He's been there all night.
First ten beers he's had,
Since her goodbye.
Hey, hey.
She left him broke in his new truck.
He don't smoke, but he lights one up.
Temporary fix for his heartache.
He's hurtin' bad, but he's feelin' great.
He's on the dance floor yellin': "Free Bird,"
Singin' off pitch but he knows every word.
Grabs him a girl and he holds on tight:
He's chasin' everything in sight.
He'll fall apart when he gets home,
But right now his worries are gone.
Life looks good, good, good:
Billy's got his beer goggles on.
Hey.
A lot of drunks get real mean:
They'll pick a fight over anything.
Billy wants to laugh, that's why he's here.
You won't see him cry unless you spill his beer.
He's on the dance floor yellin': "Free Bird,"
Singin' off pitch but he knows every word.
Grabs him another girl an' holds on tight:
Now he's chasin' everything in sight.
He'll fall apart when he gets home,
Right now his worries are gone.
Life looks good, good, good:
Billy's got his beer goggles on.
Instrumental break.
He's on the dance floor yellin': "Free Bird,"
Singin' off pitch but he knows every word.
Grabs him another girl an' holds on tight:
He don't see ugly through bloodshot eyes.
He'll fall apart when he gets home,
But right now his worries are gone.
'Cause life looks good, good, good;
So good, good, good;
Life looks good, good, good:
Billy's got his beer goggles on.
Whoo.
How many fingers am I holdin' up, Billy?
Get up, Billy.
Get up, get up.
Good one.
