Lyrics It’s Been A Great Afternoon - Merle Haggard

It’s Been A Great Afternoon

Last night we had a hell raising time
Nipping on tequila and sucking on limes
Sunrise chased the good time away
And good morning would have been the wrong thing to say
Because the pounding 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 afternoon got me up and around
Yes, last night we had one hell raising time
But today won’t be forgotten too soon
I can’t say we’ve had a good morning
But babe it’s been a great afternoon
