Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

It's Been A Great Afternoon

Last night we had a hell raisin' time

Nippin' on tequila and suckin' on limes

Sunrise chased the good time away

And good morning would have been the wrong thing to say

'Cause the poundin' in the top of my head

Hey didn't leave me any too soon

I can't say we've had a good morning

But babe it's been a great afternoon

Well you nursed me through the morning while I was really down

Then one rowdy afternooner got me up and around

Yes last night we had one hell raisin' time

But today won't be forgotten too soon

I can't say we've had a good morning

Oh but babe it's been a great afternoon, yes sir

Well you nursed me through the morning while I was really down

Then one rowdy afternooner got me up and around

Yes last night we had one hell raisin' time, he he

But today won't be forgotten too soon

I can't say we've had a good morning

But dang it's been a great afternoon
