I promised my brother in-law
I wasn't knee crawlin', slip slidin'
'Cause I was drunk
Took another an another an another
Commode huggin' drunk
I tried it once and it got me highly irregular
It was right up on the mountain
God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens
God's yeller moon shinin' on the cool clear evenin'
Like a huge golden opal
And commenced to gettin' hot flashes
He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen feet tall
But temptation got the best of me and I took a slash
It stood up on that mountainside
And I took another slash
And I swore I'd never do it again
While he went in to town to vote
That yella whiskey runnin' down my throat like honey dew vine water
Goose pimples was runnin' up and down my body
That I'd go up watch his still
Animate, inanimate it didn't matter
Like I explain'd to you once before I ain't no drinkin' man
For you knew I'd downed one whole jug of that shit
And a feelin' came over me
It was like, like I was in love
In love for the first time, with anything that moved
Like somethin' I'd never experienced before
I was God's own drunk and a fearless man
Here the map said it would be
And that's when I first saw the bear
Though it wasn't no ordinary still
Friends let me tell you one thing
In my brain sayin', "Jimmy Buffett there's a great day a comin'"
He rambled up over the hill expectin' me to
It's like there's a great neon sign flashin' on an' off
