美村歌手兼曲作家Lacy J. Dalton於1946出生在一喜音的家庭。1967,加入了一名Office的,直到的最後一以失告,Lacy在音的道路上仍不的努力。1979,LacyColombia唱片公司下合,行了首同名《Lacy J. Dalton》,得村榜第11名,同也得了「村音 ( CMA )」 的「最佳新人女歌手」。
此首《Beer Drinkin' Song》收於上述,作同另首《Tennessee Waltz》的曲B面行。老美於喝酒的村歌曲相的多,而大部份都是喝啤酒或威士忌,此曲中所提到的啤酒品牌「blue ribbon」「Lone Star」,在台似未口售 ( 美啤的「美」和「百威」普遍 )。歌中信Lacy的老兄,是年喜在一起喝酒的朋友,而因工作意外致Charlene ( 老婆?) 走了孩子,始借酒愁,但後有真 (?)支付生活,改喝大量咖啡戒酒,般的果也算是有「志」了。
Lacy在Office遇到了John Croston,John之後成她的和合夥人,人於1971婚育有一子。而不幸的是John在游泳另位手相撞造成了,在三年後也就是1974年世 ( 在泳池方快速部撞,的相危 )。
此曲A面的《Tennessee Waltz》是首典的村歌曲,的是和心的男友去跳滋,未期遇了自己的女性友,介,未料朋友竟走了男友 ( 然男友自己也大有 ),人心碎不已。最著名的Patti Page 1950的版本。而Lacy的版本重新曲及自己的唱法,另有一番味 ( 唱得相棒 ),得村榜第18名,就一上了。

【Beer Drinkin’ Song】
I got a letter from a buddy in Austin
I ain't seen for ten years or more
It started, "Dear Lacy, I'm so glad you made it
'Cause you was so God-blessed poor"
But he still works construction outside of Austin
Been there for almost eight years
But when he hit the skids
Charlene took the kids
And he's drownin' his sorrows in beer
I wrote him a beer drinkin' song
One we can all sing along
For all of the good times, the fallin' down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinkin' song
Now by ol' buddy is still drivin' semis
And poppin' them little white pills
Washin' 'em down with gallons of coffee
He's drivin' to pay off his bills
And then there's ol' Dottie
Down at the truck stop
Been there since we were sixteen
The only thing different, 20 years later
Is the hip size on ol' Dottie's jeans
I wrote 'em a beer drinkin' song
One we can all sing along
For all of the good times, the fallin' down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinkin' song
Yes, I got out my guitar and a bottle of Lone Star
And a pen that I found on the floor
And I wrote 'em their own song, a hell-raisin' drunk song
A waltz for the malt in ¾
I wrote him a beer drinkin' song
One we can all sing along
For all of the good times, the fallin' down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinkin' song
For all of the good times, the fallin' down drunk times
A blue ribbon beer drinin' song
【Tennessee Waltz】
I was dancing ( Waltzing ) with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
