God's Own Drunk Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

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 

Where 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 hugh 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'n an another'n an another'n 

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 

Photos 

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 one 

It hung him up 

He started sniffin' around my body tryin' to smell fear 

But he ain't gonna smell no fear 'cause 

I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man 

It hung him up 

He looked right in my eyes, and my eyes 

Was a lot redder than his was 

It hung him up 

So I approached him, I said "Mr. Bear, I love 

Every hair on your twenty-seven acre body 

I know you got a lot of friends over there 

On the other side of the hill 

There's ole' rare bear, tall bear, Freddy bear, Kelly bear 

Really bear, smelly the bear, smokey the bear 

Pokey the bear 

I want you to go back over there tonight 

And tell them I'm feelin' right 

You tell them I love each and everyone of them 

Like a brother and a sister 

But if they give me any trouble tonight 

I'm gonna run every God damn one of them off the hill" 

He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think 

Neither did I but bein' charitable and cautious 

Well hell I approached him again 

I said "Mr. Bear, You know in the eyes of the Lord 

We're both beasts when it comes right down to it 

So I want you to be my buddy, Buddy bear" 

So I took ole' buddy bear by his island size paw 

And I led him over to the still 

He's a sniffin' around that thing cause 

He's smellin' somethin' good 

I gave him one of them jugs of honey dew vine water 

He downed it up right 

Looked like one of them damn bears in the circus 

Sippin' sasparilly in the moonlight 

I gave him another'n an another'n an another'n 

For I knew it he downed eight of them 

And commenced to doin' the bear dance 

Two snips, a snort, a fly turn, and a grunt 

It was so simple like the jitter bug 

It plum evaded me 

We worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar 

And I was awful tired and went over to the hillside 

And I laid down and went to sleep 

Slept for four hours and dreampt me some tremulous dreams 

When I woke up, there was God's yeller moon 

Shinin' on the clear cool evenin' 

God's little lanterns twinklin' on and off 

In the heavens 

My buddy the bear was a missin' 

Want to know something else friends and neighbors 

So was that still
