Lyrics from Live

[Verse 1: Thomas Rhett]
I'm supposed to mow the grass today
I'm supposed to fix the fence
But with the sun beaten down on me
It's hard to make it make sense

[Chorus: Thomas Rhett]
Half of me wants a cold beer
Yeah, that's the cold hard truth
And with the frigerator stocked full of 'em
Tell me what's a boy to do?
I ain't even tryna fight it, it's already been decided
The sky and the mountains are blue
Half of me wants a cold beer
And the other half does too

[Verse 2: Riley Green]
Yeah, I kinda need to wash the truck
But hell, I kinda dont care
Yeah, I think old Alan Jackson said it bеst
"It's 5 o'clock somewhere"

[Chorus: Riley Green]
Half of mе wants a cold beer
Yeah, that's the cold hard truth
And with the frigerator stocked full of 'em
Tell me what's a boy to do?
I ain't even tryna fight it, it's already been decided
The sky and the mountains are blue
Half of me wants a cold beer
And the other half does too

[Bridge: Thomas Rhett & Riley Green]
Yeah, yeah
Half of me wants a cold, cold beer
If I did what I should be doing but then that would really ruin all the fun, yeah
Yeah, there's a world of bad decisions out there but this ain't one

[Chorus: Thomas Rhett & Riley Green, Both]
Half of me wants a cold, cold beer
Yeah, that's the cold hard truth
And with the frigerator stocked full of 'em
Tell me what's a boy to do?
I ain't even tryna fight it, it's already been decided
The sky and the mountains are blue
Half of me wants a cold beer
And the other half does too

[Outro: Thomas Rhett & Riley Green]
Yeah, half of me wants a cold, cold beer
And the other half does too
