You Look Like I Need a Beer

[Verse 1]
You walk in
Sunburnt grin
Faded Broncos cap
And a fresh new spin

Thongs on your feet
Dust on your jeans
That look on your face says
“You won’t believe where I’ve been”

[Chorus]
’Cause you look like I need a beer
Like I owe you one
My friend
For making it here
Pull up a stool
Mate
It’s been a year
You look like I need a beer (hey!)
You look like I need a beer

[Verse 2]
Long week
Red dirt nails
Boss on your back
Bloody paper trail

But the pub’s still open
Tap still clear
I wave the barmaid over
“Yeah
Two over here”

[Chorus]
’Cause you look like I need a beer
Like a long-lost mate just reappeared
Tell me your story
I’ll lend an ear
You look like I need a beer (oh yeah)
You look like I need a beer

[Bridge]
Maybe it’s the flies
Or the fuel price
Or some clown in the city talkin’ real wise
Whatever it is
You made it here
So I’ll shout first round
You can shout next year

[Chorus]
’Cause you look like I need a beer
From the Top End heat to the southern pier
Raise that glass
We’re still all here
You look like I need a beer (hey mate)
You look like I need a beer
