You Had Me at Beer
Mary Haller/Matt Casey
Performed By Brandon James (http://www.brandonjamesmusic.com/)
I pegged you for the chardonnay type
Sip half the glass and be home by nine
Not the kind of girl usually sitting at this bar
Figured you’d order up a Caesar salad
Nibble at the lettuce like a bunny rabbit
Then head home alone in your hybrid car
But just as I was ‘bout to leave
You smiled, said, “Baby, won’tcha share a pitcher with me?”
Aw, I had you for a girly-girl
A precious don’t-touch string of pearls
A “not-my-type,” a “not-tonight”
The kind I usually don’t go near
But you had me, you had me
You had me at beer
Na na na na, na na na na
You had me at beer
Na na na na na na na na
Saw the diamond as you came close
Not a ring on your finger but a stud in your nose
Knew right then the Lord was looking out for me
We talked NASCAR and southern rock
Crimson Tide and hunting ducks
Going through that brew like it was for free
Then you laid your hand on my knee
CHORUS
So much for first impressions
I’m glad I took my chances
Next thing I knew
You were sayin’ “I do”
No crystal glasses, no champagne
Just plastic cups and his-and-her kegs
One for me, and one for you
CHORUS
