Drinking Tequila - Jim Reeves

It's another tequila sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye He was just a hired hand Workin' on the dreams he planned to try The days go by Ev'ry night when the sun goes down Just another lonely boy in town And she's out runnin' 'round She wasn't just another woman And I couldn't keep from comin' on It's been so long Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when It comes down to dealin' friends It never ends Take another shot of courage Wonder why the right words never come You just get numb It's another tequila sunrise, this old world Still looks the same Another frame, mmm...

There's a light at the end where I know Where culprits on carpets make sense of it all And the sky is all indigo And the young ones just want to go home And the edge of the world makes it seem That everyone gone is still singing the same song And I can believe in these things That everyone's singing along The good the bad and the gone There's a light at the end of a dock Sending green little postcards to a city I love so much And the water makes sense of her laugh And wrinkles the backs of my hands There's a light at the end where I smoke And my name puffs in colors with people I know The song that was stuck in her head Becomes all the words you forget Yet everyone is singing along The good and the bad and the gone

Trapped in hordes of twisting bodies Flashing lights on glowing skin We're all running from the gallows Try to flee this mess we're in Time will be the only answer Let's see what poison will survive Between these walls of bass and treble No one's going to save you now Ooh Girls keep drinking and the boys keep thinking of you Girls keep dying and the boys keep trying to make a move Girls keep drinking and the boys keep thinking of you Girls keep dying and the boys keep trying to make a move Pills keep slipping in our drinks Got toxins running through our veins Party like there's no tomorrow 'Cause we all now there probably ain't Let the bass drum be your heartbeat Tell your friends to dance or hide See us locked up in a bunker Do you really think we will survive? Ooh Ooh Girls keep drinking and the boys keep thinking of you Girls keep dying and the boys keep trying to make a move Girls keep drinking and the boys keep thinking of you Girls keep dying and the boys keep trying to make a move Girls keep drinking and the boys keep thinking of you Girls keep dying and the boys keep trying to make a move

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
