Lyrics
Got my whiskey drinking in the afternoon
Got my whiskey drinking in the afternoon
No matter where you find me
it's all too soon
Got my whiskey drinking in the afternoon
I got my shotgun and you know the time is nigh
I got my shotgun and you know the time is nigh
It don't matter what we're hunting we're gonna get it right
I got my shotgun and you know the time is right
I got my whiskey
I got my whiskey
I got my whiskey it's in the afternoon
you know this whiskey drunk in the afternoon
been smokin and the night is almost done
yea we're smokin the night is so close to done
we got our whiskey our smokes you know we still got our shotgun
yea we're smokin the night is close to done
