Lyrics

"Beer Don't Lie but My Buddy Does"
by Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1A
I told my girl I'd be home by eight
But I'm sittin' here with wings and a plate
My buddy Joe said, "I'll cover you, man"
Now she's callin' me with questions again
Verse 1B
He told her I was helpin' fix a tire
Meanwhile I'm watchin' the jukebox fire
She said, "That don't sound like your kind of fun"
I said, "It's fine -- Joe's got this one"
Pre-Chorus
He talks a big game, acts all wise
But he blinks hard when he's tellin' lies
I tee it up, he swings and whiffs
Guess truth ain't one of his hidden gifts
Chorus
Beer don't lie but my buddy does
Says I'm at church when I'm at the Buzz
Claims I'm fishin' when I'm on the run
From another fight I shouldn't have begun
He can't keep stories straight to save my hide
But this cold one's honest every time
Beer don't lie... but my buddy does
Verse 2A
She caught on fast, now she don't play
She tracks my phone and my Chevrolet
Joe said, "Say you're helpin' me move a couch"
She said, "Funny -- I just saw you headin' south"
Verse 2B
So now I'm buyin' him a round or two
For all the dumb things he tried to do
He might stink at alibis and lies
But he sure can chug 'em down just fine
Pre-Chorus
He says he's slicker than a bar of soap
But he panics like a priest on The Jerry Show
I feed him lines, he drops the ball
He couldn't lie straight in a round dance hall
Chorus
Beer don't lie but my buddy does
Says I'm in bed when I'm raisin' fuzz
Claims I'm prayin' when I'm pourin' shots
She said, "Bless his heart, but he ain't got a lot"
He tries to help but trips on every line
Still this Bud Light tells it every time
Beer don't lie... but my buddy does
Bridge
Now she don't trust him or me much
But she knows the truth from the first sip's touch
So when I say "baby, I've changed this time"
She checks the fridge before the signs
Final Chorus
Beer don't lie but my buddy does
Tried to be smooth, but we both got buzzed
Swore I was sleepin' at my mama's place
She said, "Funny -- your mom just texted your face"
Now I'm on the porch with a six-pack prize
At least the can still never lies
Beer don't lie...
No, beer don't lie...
But my buddy does
