This old man and me were at the bar, and we
Were having us some beers and swappin' "I don't cares"
Talking politics, blonde and redhead 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?", I said "damned if I know"
We talked an hour or two, 'bout every girl we knew
What all we put them through, like two old boys will do
We pondered life and death, he lit a cigarette
Said "these damn things will kill me yet"
But God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy

Last call was 2 AM, I said goodbye to him
I never talked to him again

Then one sunny day, I saw the old man's face
Front page obituary, he was a millionaire-y
He left his fortune to some guy he barely knew
His kids were mad as hell, but me...I'm 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
