Pop the top, love that sound
Especially with friends around
Couple of sips with lime and salt
Wondering if enough beer was bought

Can in my hand, it's getting light
Sun is going down, man it’s bright
Slip my shades back down off my head
Walked up to my buddies and this is what I said

Is my can half full or at the half empty line?
They simply nod and wait for the punchline
Asked again, I said did you hear?
I’m simply halfway to another beer!

Finally dark, stories are being told
About the glorious days of old
Football tales and fishing trips
Las Vegas winnings, piles of chips

Buddy twists a can and walks away
Tries to be subtle knows the game I play
He is at the cooler and I holler sensuous
Knows what I mean, brings back one for each of us

Chugging beer right on down
When I hear that sloshing sound
Know what that means?, Room in the can!
At the halfway mark once again

Is my can half full or at the half empty line?
They simply nod and wait for the punchline
Asked again, I said did you hear?
I’m simply halfway to another beer
