Some folks go with a Jack and Coke So they can take the edge off Some folks drink so they don't think About all the things they did wrong For me, that ain't how it is As soon as it hits my lips, yeah I remember that first beer at 21 Sittin' on the front porch with my old man I remember that margarita week at the beach With my feet in the Padre sand Remember that shot in the dark in the back of the bar First time that I kissed her So, you can bet I don't drink to forget I drink to remember One taste of rum don't make me numb I'm feelin' all the memories I'm graduatin', celebratin' all my good friends with me Yeah, I go back to those times Soon as they pour it on ice, yeah I remember that first beer at 21 Sittin' on the front porch with my old man I remember that margarita week at the beach With my feet in the Padre sand Remember that shot in the dark in the back of the bar First time that I kissed her So, you can bet I don't drink to forget I drink to remember I drink to remember Yeah, I go back to those times Soon as they pour it on ice I remember that first beer at 21 Sittin' on the front porch with my old man I remember that margarita week at the beach With my feet in the Padre sand Remember that shot in the dark in the back of the bar First time that I kissed her So, you can bet I don't drink to forget I drink to remember I drink to remember I drink to remember
