Eric Church

Songwriter: Eric Church Casey Beathard

Turned on the TV
More crime in the streets
More trouble in the Middle East
More fires out west
Politicians slingin' dirt
Got descension in the church
Another lawsuit's in the works
Man you talk about a mess
Too much tension between Miss Liberty and the Eiffel Tower
It's about time we all made up at some big happy hour

I think the world needs a drink
I think enough's enough
She's been spinnin' around so long
I'd say she's pretty wound up
Calm down, relax, kick back
Tear up the contracts and save the ink
Yeah I think the world needs a drink

I bet we'd get somethin done
Over two for ones
Rubbin' elbows with the big guns
Wouldn't that be cool?
Call all the rich and the poor
The peace keepers and the warlords
We'll cut some deals over nothin' more
Than a shot of Jack Daniels 90 proof
There ain't nothin' wrong that few cold beers can't iron out
In fact if you tell me when and where
I'll buy the first round

I think the world needs a drink
I think enough's enough
She's been spinnin' around so long
I'd say she's pretty wound up
Calm down, relax, kick back
Tear up the contracts and save the ink
Yeah I think the world needs a drink

Let's all calm down, sit back, relax
Tear up the contracts and save the ink
Yeah I think the world needs a drink

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
