[Verse 1]
I didn't show up to cover up anything
Didn't walk through that door to forget about what's-her-name
No, I didn't have a bad day
It ain't what you think

[Chorus]
I just came here to drink 'cause it's five o'clock
Pour me the good stuff right from the top
Here to let out the laughs and breathe in the smoke
Get high on the night and the midnight glow
Sit on this barstool, live on neon time
Yeah, tonight I just came here to drink

[Verse 2]
I just wanna sit here and listen to the jukebox
Hear that song that puts me in a good spot
No, it ain't like this every night
Oh, but this time

[Chorus]
I just came here to drink 'cause it's five o'clock
Pour me the good stuff right from the top
Here to let out the laughs and breathe in the smoke
Get high on the night and the midnight glow
Sit on this barstool, live on neon time
Yeah, tonight I just came here to drink
I just came here to drink 'cause it's five o'clock
Pour me the good stuff right from the top
Here to let out the laughs and breathe in the smoke
Get high on the night and the midnight glow
Sit on this barstool, live on neon time
Yeah, tonight I just came here to drink

[Outro]
Yeah, I just came here to drink
Yeah, I just came here to drink

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
