Story Behind The Song
I heard George Thoroughgood's long ballad, "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer." I started thinking of various nouns that go together and came up with TGGMB and the story of what can happen when a guy has a truck and a gun and needs a girl and a beer.

Lyrics
TRUCKS, GUNS, GIRLS, MONEY, BEER
By Howard Levinson
Ain't got no money, but I got this truck, F150 built Ford tough
Got a 351 under the hood, 4 on the floor, runs damn good.
Got a Smith and Wesson with a 6 inch barrel, 44 magnum like Dirty Harry's
Keep it under my shirt in the small of my back, I'm steady it's ready and that's a fact.
Got a truck, got a gun, no girl, no money, no beer.
It won't be long before I have it all right here,
I'll have money in my pocket, beer on the dash, girl ridin' shotgun fine looking ass
Got a truck, got a gun, no girl, no money, no beer.
So I took my truck over to that place, I stuck my gun in the cashier's face,
She didn't scream or cry or show no fear, she said
"I'll give you money and beer, if you take me away from here."
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
I'm a man of my word, my story's really quite clear
Got money in my pocket, beer on the dash, girl ridin' shotgun with a fine looking ass
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
It's been 4 weeks since we left that place, 3 liquor stores, 2 country banks.
We're kicking up gravel on them dusty roads,
Way ahead of cops keep cause we go, go, go.
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
I'm a man of my word, my story's really quite clear
Got money in my pocket, beer on the dash, girl ridin' shotgun with a fine looking aGotss
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
Went on down to that Tulsa(or any city) town, cops down there don't mess around.
Truck blew a tire, ran of luck,
I'm in the back of their car in handcuffs.
No truck, no gun, no girl, no money, no beer.
It won't be long before I get it all back here,
I'll have money in my pocket, beer on the dash, girl ridin' shotgun fine looking ass
No truck, no gun, no girl, no money, no beer.
Made my bond, posted 10 percent, got my Ford from the tow truck man.
Crossed the border at night into Mexico,
bought a gun from old man Pablo.
Got a truck, got a gun, no girl, no money, no beer.
It won't be long before I have it all right here,
I'll have money in my pocket, beer on the dash, girl ridin' shotgun fine looking ass
Got a truck, got a gun, no girl, no money, no beer.
So I took my truck over to that place, I stuck my gun in the senorita's face,
She didn't scream or cry or show no fear, she said
"Te doy el dinero y la cerveza si me llevas de aqui."
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
I'm a man of my word, my story's really quite clear
Pesos in my pocket Dos Equis on the dash, a chica ridin' shotgun with a fine looking ass
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
Got a truck, got a gun, got a girl, got money, got beer.
