About the Song
Beer Before Blame is a two-steppin’ honky-tonk confession wrapped in a barroom grin. This fiddle-fired duet finds a couple owning up to poor decisions—and even worse excuses—all set to a stompy snare beat, dobro slide, and enough sass to make a jukebox blush. It’s fun. It’s raw. And it’s got just enough truth to sting in the morning.
Why It Matters:
Let’s face it: country fans love a good mess-up—as long as there’s a beat to dance it off. This one hits that sweet spot between bad behavior and brutal honesty. Every line walks the line between flirtation and regret, making it perfect for the radio, bar playlists, and toe-tappin’ nights that end in half-hearted apologies.

[Verse 1 – Male (Cody Johnson style)]
Blame it on the jukebox, not my broken heart,
Pour another round, let's make a brand new start.
Girls in tight jeans, they’re dancing all around,
Got the neon lights shining, in this honky-tonk town.
[Chorus – Both]
We’ll raise a toast, let the good times roll,
Replace the blame with a little liquid gold.
We got laughter, love, and a whole lot of fights,
But there’s beer before blame, that’s how we live our lives.
[Verse 2 – Female (Lainey Wilson style)]
He said, she said, what does it even mean?
Let’s forget the worries, and just enjoy the scene.
With a glass in hand, we’ll dance till the dawn,
Life’s too short to let the past be our song.
[Chorus – Both]
We’ll raise a toast, let the good times roll,
Replace the blame with a little liquid gold.
We got laughter, love, and a whole lot of fights,
But there’s beer before blame, that’s how we live our lives.
[Bridge – Male]
So pop the top, let’s ignite the flame,
Turn the music up, forget the shame.
We’ll sing our hearts out like nobody’s near,
Pour another shot, let’s drown the fear.
[Verse 3 – Both]
Under the stars, with our friends by our side,
We’ll laugh through the pain, take it all in stride.
Life’s a wild ride, but we’re holding on tight,
With beer before blame, everything feels right.
[Chorus – Both]
We’ll raise a toast, let the good times roll,
Replace the blame with a little liquid gold.
We got laughter, love, and a whole lot of fights,
But there’s beer before blame, that’s how we live our lives.
[Outro – 2:45–3:00]
So here’s to the nights, where the worries are few,
With friends by our side, and a cold brew or two.
In this wild, crazy world, we’ll stake our claim,
Raise your glass high, here’s to never feeling shame!
(Ending fiddle run fades out as the crowd claps and laughs)
