Empties

They say a can half full is what I'm supposed to see
But it looks like a beer half drunk to me
If it ain't tipped back
Man, it ought to be. I like empties, empties
In the back of my truck or all over the lawn
It ain't a party til a twelve pack's gone
A waste of beer is just straight up wrong
I love empties, empties
Yeah, you got to drink up, you can't just babysit
Your beer's gettin hot, you're takin baby sips
You got to chug it down, throw em back, and tie it on
Crush your can and throw it down and stomp it til it's all gone
They in the front all spread along the flower bed
You think there's somethin wrong
I'm just your average redneck
Killin time, crushin cans, gettin drunk man
I'm proud of this dump, empty cans is what I love
They say a can half full is what I'm supposed to see
But it looks like a beer half drunk to me
If it ain't tipped back, man, it ought to be
I like empties, empties. In the back of my truck or all
Over the lawn, it ain't a party til a twelve pack's gone
A waste of beer is just straight up wrong. I love empties, empties
Turn one up and drive alone
Man, I'm gonna tie one on. And I don't see nothin wrong
With drinkin beer and singin songs
So cheers and tilt it back, we gon try to fill
The sack with all cans and not trash if you
Came to put it back cause a redneck's stash
Of cans is kind of like retirement plans
If money's tight then cash em in and then you start
Your stash again. So I'm drinkin for the future and
I'm drinkin for the present. I don't need stocks
And bonds if you cancel my investment
They say a can half full is what I'm supposed to see
But it looks like a beer half drunk to me
If it ain't tipped back, man, it ought to be
I like empties, empties. In the back of my truck
Or all over the lawn, it ain't a party til a twelve pack's gone
A waste of beer is just straight up wrong. I love empties, empties.
