Jimmy Buffett God's Own Drunk lyrics

Well, like to explain to you all before
I ain't no drinkin' man
I tried it once and it got me highly irregular
And I swore I'd never do it again

I promised my brother in-law
That I'd go up watch his still
While he went in to town to vote
It was right up on the mountain
Here the map said it would be

Friends let me tell you one thing
Though it wasn't no ordinary still
It stood up on that mountainside
Like a huge golden opal

God's yeller moon shinin' on the cool clear evenin'
God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens
Like I explain'd to you once before I ain't no drinkin' man
But temptation got the best of me and I took a slash
That yella whiskey runnin' down my throat like honey dew vine water

And I took another slash
Took another an another an another
For you knew I'd downed one whole jug of that shit

And commenced to gettin' hot flashes

Goose pimples was runnin' up and down my body
And a feelin' came over me
Like somethin' I'd never experienced before
It was like, like I was in love

In love for the first time, with anything that moved
Animate, inanimate it didn't matter
It's like there's a great neon sign flashin' on an' off
In my brain sayin', "Jimmy Buffett there's a great day a comin'"

'Cause I was drunk
I wasn't knee crawlin', slip slidin'
Reggie Youngin'
Commode huggin' drunk

I was God's own drunk and a fearless man
And that's when I first saw the bear
He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout nineteen feet tall
He rambled up over the hill expectin' me to
Do one of two things, flip or fly, I didn't do either
