This old man and me were at the bar and we Were having us some beers and swapping I-don't-cares Talking politics, blonde and red-head chicks Old dogs and new tricks and habits we ain't kicked We talked about God's grace and all the hell we raised Then I heard the ol' man say, "God is great, beer is good and people are crazy." He said, "I fought two wars, Been married and divorced." What brings you to Ohio? He said, "Damned if I know." We talked an hour or two About every girl we knew What all we put 'em through Like two old boys'll do We pondered life and d**h He lit a cigarette He said, "These damn things'll k** me yet. But God is great, beer is good and people are crazy." Last call, it's 2 AM, I said goodbye to him I never talked to him again Then one sunny day, I saw the old man's face Front page obituary, he was a millionaire he left his fortune to some guy he barely knew, his kids were mad as hell But me, I'm doing well And I dropped by today to just say thanks and pray, and I left a six-pack right there on his grave and I said, "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy." God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy. God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.
