Written by Jerrod Niemann & Lance Miller
Recorded by Jerrod Niemann
Album: High Noon
Capo on 2 
[Intro]
D Bm  D Bm
Woke up this mornin' hearin' GRoger Miller singin', D"Chug-a-Lug"
ACaught myself a little Bmdrinkin' bug
GCalled up my buddies, said
" DHey, get your mugs to Amy place"
There was Gforty bucks in change Din a jug
ABought some twelve packs and Bmgave the tops a tug
GNow we're laughin', Dlookin' back and
APlayin' some tunes, howling' at the crack of noon
[Chorus]
GDay Ddrinkin', bucket of Bmbeer on ice
Day Ddrinkin', 'cause it's Bmhot outside, Apass me a cold one
I'm Gday Ddrinkin', cheatin' on Bmthem neon lights
Day Ddrinkin', the only Bmclosing' time is when- Aever that ole sun says
"Hey, y'all are done," Gday Ddrinkin'
[Solo]
Bm   D   Bm
We found ourselves fishin' Gthrough some old times Dfrom some old chairs
AWishin' we could Bmgo back there
GBut we ain't through yet, Dain't seen that sunset
We're Atipping' them like we did, who knows what happens when you're
[Chorus]
GDay Ddrinkin', bucket of Bmbeer on ice
Day Ddrinkin', 'cause it's Bmhot outside, Apass me a cold one
I'm Gday Ddrinkin', cheatin' on Bmthem neon lights
Day Ddrinkin', the only Bmclosing' time is when- Aever that ole sun says
"Hey, y'all are done," Gday Ddrinkin'
[Solo]
Bm   D   Bm
[Bridge]
BmNext to a tackle box on the lake or off the docks
ASippin' brew at a BBQ or a tailgate before kickoff
BmAll good spots for twistin' tops off daytime beer
But AI say we all stay right here
[Chorus]
GDay Ddrinkin', bucket of Bmbeer on ice
Day Ddrinkin', 'cause it's Bmhot outside, Apass me a cold one
I'm Gday Ddrinkin', don't tell Bmthem neon lights
Day Ddrinkin', the only Bmclosin' time is when- Aever that ole sun says
"Hey, y'all are done"
[Outro]
Day Ddrinkin', cheatin' on them Bmneon lights
Day Ddrinkin', the only Bmclosin' time is when- Aever that ole sun says
"Hey, y'all are done," Gday Ddrinkin'
