Lyrics
Tequila Nights
Tommy Carter, Copyright 2004
Smoke and beer and tequila shots. I'll never be free
of all that smoke, and the beer, and the tequile.
Playin' all those cowboy bars, and trucker room
Noise and crowds, bandstands and bars, and diesel.
Line dancin' all across the room.
Mid thehe smoke and the beer. And the tequila.
Chorus
But, when I'm at home in my lonely room,
and I sit
drinkin' tequila in the silence and remember
the life we had, thoughts of her fill my head and
still sit, drinkin' tequila.
Verse 2
A drum and a fiddle and a slow guitar. A song
and a woman in a Lincoln Towncar. Pretty brolwn eyes
flashin' at me across the dance floor. Boots and jeans and
guitars and trucks. I'l never be free of all that
smoke and beer and the tequile. I never want to lose her memory
mid the smoke and the beer. And the tequila.
Repeat Chorus: And--
CODA
Thoughts of her fill my head and
Still I sit, drinkin' tequila.
