Well I live my life burning up this road
I don't know where I'm going but I gotta go
If there's a show down there at Denims or all the way in Memphis
Put the hammer down and don't drive slow

Well it's the bar down the street that got's the girls I love to see
When I walk through the door they all know me
Well tracy pours that beam to the top and she knows not to stop...until I drop

Cause either that beam's gonna kill me
Or that girl's gonna thrill me
Either way what a way to go

Well I used to like my rum all nice and smooth
Till I met ol' Jackson Taylor he told me the truth
He said leave those sissy shots alone, Jim Beam is good for your soul
Then he poured us some shots

Cause either that beam's gonna kill me
Or that girl's gonna thrill me
Either way what a way to go

Well I met this girl out at a show
She told me her love was true I said baby lets go
Well then she poured me a shot of that ol' Jim Beam and I was coming apart at the seams
She knew the way to my soul

Cause either that beam's gonna kill me
Or that girl's gonna thrill me
Either way what a way to go

Cause either that beam's gonna kill me
Or that girl's gonna thrill me
Either way what a way to go
Either way what a way to go
Either way what a way to go
