When a man loves his beer more than his wife

Shit beer

by Karen Dougherty Estep

The author has placed a warning on this post for language.
Back then we were doin' alot of drinkin'
To tell you the truth I don't know what I was thinkin'
Somehow I fell for you
Lord. I wish it weren't true
After all these years our ship is sinkin'..

Chorus
You like your shit beer better than me
So I'm goin' home to Mississippi
I'm worth more than you can see
I'm leavin' ,I'm grievin',so don't try to find me.

Years of listenin' to you sayin' I'm wrong
Years of feeling I don't belong
In your world of loving only you
You left me with nothing else to do
So I'm leaving you with a song

Chorus
'Cause you like your shit beer better than me
So I'm going home to Mississippi
I'm worth more than you can see
I'm leavin' ,I'm grievin', so don't try to find me.

Refrain
All those times you wanted me
Just to think like you
I have my own thoughts you see
Now whatcha gonna do?

Too bad you like your shit beer better than me
That's why I'm goin' home to Mississippi
I'm worth more than you'll ever see
I'm leavin',, I'm grievin',, So don't try to find me
