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...

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

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

Duh-duh-duh, duh, duh, duh As he falls back deeper, into a state The return (Dot Da Genius, baby) Daytrip took it to ten (hey!)

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
