Experience the poignant rawness of heartbreak in 'Beer Over Wine,' a soulful country anthem performed by Grammy-winning artist Chris Stapleton. This evocative track captures the essence of sorrow and rebellion, as Stapleton prefers the bitter comfort of beer to the sweetness of wine, symbolizing the rough edge of moving on from a love that's gone wrong.
Verse 1:
Well, I ain't the kind to drink wine, in a crystal glass embracin' light
I'd rather slam a cold one, in the smoky haze of a reckless night
You brought sweetness and you brought pain, promised love but left disdain
Now I'm sittin' alone, with a beer in my hand, lettin' the bitterness remain
Chorus:
I'd take beer over wine, any damn day of the week
'Cause your love was a lie, and to hell with the scars it leaves
I'll drown my sorrows in amber gold, let the suds take control
I'd take beer over wine, for this heart to finally find its soul
Verse 2:
You were like a fine red, with your class and your deceit
But I'm a man of simple tastes, need no pretentious feat
You left my heart in a jar, fermented, turned to stone
But I'll keep pourin' out the pain, 'til the hurt's forever gone
Chorus:
I'd take beer over wine, any damn day of the week
'Cause your love was a lie, and to hell with the scars it leaves
I'll drown my sorrows in amber gold, let the suds take control
I'd take beer over wine, for this heart to finally find its soul
Bridge:
So raise a glass of bitter brew, here's to what we both went through
To broken dreams and whiskey nights, to lovin' wrongs and fightin' rights
Chorus:
I'd take beer over wine, any damn day of the week
'Cause your love was a lie, and to hell with the scars it leaves
I'll drown my sorrows in amber gold, let the suds take control
I'd take beer over wine, for this heart to finally find its soul
Outro:
I'd take beer over wine, one more round for the road
'Cause in this heartbreak city, only the bitter truth is told
