I am of course and Avid Bob and Tom fan and listen to their radio show 6 days a week. They had a guest on who is the genius who wrote a song that is running rampant in my head. I can remember some of the lyrics but cannot find who the Singer is (So I can go buy his albumn) Here are the chorus {which I can remember} B double E double R U N beer run, B double E double R U N beer run, All we need is a ten and a fiver a car and a key and a sober driver B double E double R U N beer run. WHo is this guy, I gotta know I have been singing it all damn day. ---

Garth Brooks and George Jones. It’s a pretty good song. I’m glad to see George Jones back on the radio again, with both “Beer Run” and “My Old Man”, his newest solo single. ---

Uhhh…I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t Garth Brooks. I know he has a song called Beer Run. But I’m positive it wasn’t on Bob and Tom. Try going to [BobandTom.com](http://BobandTom.com) and asking them… ---

**Osip** , in case you’re not listening to Bob & Tom right now, they are talking about Beer Run. The guy’s name is Todd Snyder - not sure of the spelling, but that’s the name they said. The George Jones song is not the same. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Osip \* > **hey is he the musician that was a former professional boxer?** DING! Now I remember. He was in the studio when he played “Beer Run”, and he was talking about his career. I _think_ he fought (and lost to) Roberto Duran. And where have I been? Forgetting that I replied to this thread! Pass the gingko. (Fortunately, Mauvaise pointed out that you posted.)
