Half Empty Shotgun

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
