Drinkin' in the Afternoon

Well I'm sittin' here and I'm feelin’ low

And I just finished off my fourth in a row

Now I'm feelin better by a country mile

So I think I'll hang around awhile

I was up real late again last night

Me and my darlin' had a terrible fight

The life I'm livin's gonna catch up soon

Spending all my money at the corner saloon

Yes, I'll be drinkin’ in the afternoon

'Cause I catch hell if I start too soon

I wish she'd whistle a different tune

For now I'll keep drinkin' in the afternoon

So I slept it off and headed for the car

Then the sheriff said boy I saw you in that bar

You can’t drive until I say it's alright

So I walked the line then I drove through the night

I wrapped my car 'round a telephone pole

Took a sharp turn and I lost control

Things don’t change, it’ll hit the fan

‘Cause she don’t want no wanted man

Yes, I'll be drinkin’ in the afternoon

'Cause I catch hell if I start too soon

I wish she'd whistle a different tune

For now I'll keep drinkin' in the afternoon

Yes, I'll be drinkin’ in the afternoon

'Cause I catch hell if I start too soon

I wish she'd whistle a different tune

For now I'll keep drinkin' in the afternoon
