I know I'm a belligerent lost Individual
But I came here for the booze
Not to be judged by some guy in a suit and tie
Telling me all that I've got to lose
Ya Best turn the other way or come back another day
Cause I been done wrong more that once
And I take a drag of my last cigarette and I feel it deep down in my lungs
I ponder on this life of mine
Thinkin bout choices I've chose that have put me where I am
And I think about the times when I could call that sweet lady mine
But now all I ever do is cry
So it's bourbon till sundown
All the folks here in my town
All expect nothing less of me
I fear I'm unable to keep myself outta danger
Especially when a girl that pretty left me
Now before you get to judging
And you look at me mean mugging
Please take note of the pain that I'm in
I sit here alone and my women is gone
So it's bourbon till sundown again
When her memory is gone for good
I'll still be misunderstood
But I'm gonna make something of myself
Just to let her down and say
"Mama ain't ya proud of me,
The Whole crowds sings all my songs real loud"
Fixing up myself real nice
I'm prettying myself up tonight
Cause I've got me a show on the tv
So I come out the sticks
In my Chevy pile of shit
I'm singing on the grand ole opry
It's still bourbon till sundown
All the folks here in my town
All respect the likes of me
I fear I'm unable to keep myself outta danger
Especially when a girl that pretty left me
Now before you get to judging
And you look at me mean mugging
Please take note of the pain that I'm in
I sit here alone and my women is gone
So it's bourbon till sundown again
