Hayes Carll - Happy Hour lyrics

I had just gotten free from my J-O-B
So I took myself down to the bar
Well from six to seven, it's
A working folk's heaven
Half price shots and beer in a jar
"Well,  you better get to tasting
Son,  time is a-wasting
" that's what that barkeep said
It seems I've barely gotten started
'fore that hour departed
These thoughts a-came to my head

Why do mamas always worry? Why
Don't payday come on time?
How come agave tequila tastes so much
Better with salt and lime?
My sunset's so romantic
Where have all the heroes gone?
How come the world just makes more sense
When I hear a country song?

And why can't stopping time be my superpower?
And who says happy only gets to last an hour?

It takes more than a sign on the window to
Define how long we all get to thrive
And I'll never surrender
Time pushing bartender
I aim for having morning, noon, and night
Yeah, you better be believing we
Can keep this feeling
Lulling on past last call
And it may be semantic but
I'm a ballroom romantic
With some questions for you all

Like, why can't dogs have conversations? Why
Don't money grow on trees?
How come it always feels so good to
Sit down on my favorite beach?
Does thunder mean God's angry? Does the
First kiss mean it's true?
Now why don't we all just ask ourselves
"What would Willie do?"

And why can't stopping time be my superpower
And who says happy only gets to last an hour?

Well, let's get higher than Spider-Man
Swinging on the Eiffel Tower

And who says happy only gets to last an hour?
Who says happy only gets to last an hour?
