It was a perfect day for the end of may, they say a record high
I stared at that green water when out of the blue out of surprise
She had her feet up on the cooler as she put our love on ice
She grabbed a beer, said, "I'm out of here," and walked out of my life

That was a cold one, I never will get back
Yeah she had to leave, did she have to leave me one beer short of a twelve pack?
She left me hanging high and dry in that hell high summer sun
Damn babe, that was a cold one

It ain't the first time, or last time I watched love walk out
But it's damn sure the one time I still ain't forgot about
I still like to drink a beer but a long neck I won't do
Cause every time I see one sweating, man, I break out in one too

That was a cold one, I never will get back
Yeah she had to leave, did she have to leave me one beer short of a twelve pack?
She left me hanging high and dry in that hell high summer sun
Damn babe, that was a cold one
