Just the Right Amount
[Verse 1]
Half a beer in the morning
Cracked yesterday
Just the right amount for him
To wash the last half away

[Chorus]
Maybe another while he's working
Maybe another when he's paid
Half a beer in the morning
But didn't throw it away

[Verse 2]
Think he like the way it sounded
Drunk and bleeding on a borrowed mic
I never seen a bar so crowded
Dead quiet on a Saturday night

[Chorus]
Maybe one to get him crying
Maybe one to help him fight
You gotta do a little wrong, kid
To get that kind of right
[Verse 3]
Seven devils in the moonlight
Clouds have all turned blue
He checkеd his pack around midnight
Still got a smoke or two

[Chorus]
Maybe one for thе morning
But in the afternoon
Seven devils in the moonlight
They ought to make some room

[Verse 4]
He cut his teeth in the ballroom
Now he can drink all day
He learned to lean on his crutches
And dance broken in the pouring rain

[Chorus]
Maybe he really found it funny
Maybe he knew he wouldn't change
Maybe it all adds up to nothin'
And it's a beautiful day

[Outro]
Maybe it all adds up to nothin'
And it's a beautiful day
