It's Been A Great Afternoon Lyrics - The Definitive Collection - Merle Haggard

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
