| I rode up into town with a half empty bottle | |
| I threw it on the ground, that damn warm whiskey | |
| I mounted off my mare with a half empty shotgun | |
| But I don't seem to care, I'm gettin' more tonight | |
| I walk through the swingin' doors with my head down | |
| They all saw me keepin' eyes with the floor | |
| I walked up to the bar with a dead cold feeling | |
| I'd made it this far, I was gettin' more tonight | |
| CHORUS | |
| Still holding my half empty shotgun | |
| Still hoping for a time to use it right | |
| Keep on looking for the right kind of victim | |
| How this whiskey is the death of the night | |
| I grabbed the man by his own blue collar | |
| Said "In my hand, there should be a drink" | |
| I knocked away the glass and only took the bottle | |
| And rode away again, I'm gettin' more tonight | |
| CHORUS | |
| I'd just got out of town, surrounded by a clear night | |
| I thought I could try and catch up with the sun | |
| All I found was my feet falling all the way | |
| To the ground by myself there I lay | |
| I didn't move but the world wouldn't stop turning | |
| The sky seemed blue, but it was only my emotions | |
| I tried so hard to be so cool | |
| With a half empty bottle, or is it half full | |
| I rode back to town with a hand full of leather | |
| I jumped to the ground when I reached the world | |
| Took out my half empty shotgun and pulled the | |
| Trigger that made my life unwind | |
| I guess I got mine tonight |
