Ralph McTell - Tequila Sunset Lyrics
Takes a glass of Tequila to raise up my spiritsWhen I get down I'm drinking them two at a time'Til I swear that I feel like a poor drowning sailorSalt on my lips and my tongue tastes of lime.Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunriseLet's put the light back in each other's eyesAnd maybe tomorrow if the wheels can rollWe can take the road down south, babe,Get to Mexico.I don't wanna hear any sad storiesHurt glances in mirrors joined in direct linesI bought her a drink and we made an agreement"Don't tell me your sad story and I won't tell you mine."Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunriseLet's put the light back in each other's eyesAnd maybe tomorrow if the wheels can rollThen take the road down south babeGet to Mexico.Whatever we say it is just the booze talkingSkinny dogs howl at a Mexico moonKids wear no shoes, dusty streets full of dreamsAim for the dance floor and maybe they'll play a slow tuneOh Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunriseTurquoise and silver stars hung in the skiesAnd maybe tomorrow the wheels can rollWe can take the road down south babeGet to MexicoWe will take the road down south,Get to Mexico.
