I think this is a good name for a bluegrass tune. Just saying.

For it to be a country song the numbers would need to be reversed and a dog would have to have died.

In the Dead song Cumberland Blues, there is the line “make good Money , $5 a day”. Nothing is said about beer though.

Funny, I was listening to a Jerry Garcia/dead Pandora station, drinking a couple DIPAs while cleaning up the kitchen when the expression occurred to me, I wonder if they played that and I subconsciously took it in. Somehow I had been thinking about what it was like when people made $5/day then thought “well, beer probably cost a nickel” then thought “sounds like a song”.
The country version: I only make a nickel and I killed my dog for drinking my $5 beer.

Might be, it happens. Regardless, as a huge Dead fan, good reference.

If you bump up the cost of beer to a dime, there would be many more lyrical rhyming options:
I make five dollars a day and a beer costs a dime,
I’d drink all day but I don’t have the time…

the Adam Sandler Turkey Song:
Gobble gobble goo and
Gobble gobble gickel
I wish turkey
Only cost a nickel

Spent a few hours on the road this weekend and heard VH’s Beautiful Girls a few times and my wife and I kept doing the beer ad.

I make five dollars a day and a beer costs a nickel,
so I ask the bartender how much for a pickle?
And as he gives his mustache a tickle,
says “a pickle’s a nickle, Mr. Van Syckle”

If that’s the chorus, my vote is you call it Brewery Owner’s Blues. :

Run over by the wife as she leaves with the mailman and the just paid off truck.

Loving the VH Beautiful girls reference, lost in the rest of it, but all my bills are paid, I got it made in the shade, and all I nnnnneed is a beautiful girl, ah ah beautiful girl, beautiful girl

I make five dollars a day
And I piss it away
A beer cost a nickel
But I’m not fickle
So I get what I want two at a time
A round for myself for one thin dime

So I piss away five dollars a day
I spend my nickels two at a time
In one day I go through nearly all of my pay
Me and my five bucks have a hell of a time

Guys, I think I found a rhyme for truck.
