I don't really care if I'm healthy or not
Just clean my head up doc
I'll give you anything you want
See I don't know why I don't fall in love
Well maybe I know why and maybe you could make it stop
I was walkin' round New York, draggin' off my cigarette
Lookin' for somewhere to go
Saw a sign on the door, swear that I'd been there before
Sign said "come in 'n' have a drink"
Well, I walked through the empty room, lit my favorite candles
And I saw her sittin' alone
I offered to buy her a drink, but she turned away from me
And this is what I said:
"Hey baby, take a chance with me
Let's get drunk and fuck
No one here but you and me
Let's get drunk and fuck
Gone tomorrow, I missed you right now
Let's get drunk and fuck
Come on, baby, take a chance with me let's get drunk and fuck
Let's get drunk and fuck
Let's get drunk
And fuck"
She said "you're just wastin' my time" but I threw her another line
And I bought her another drink
After another three or four, she start headin' for the door
She turned and fell into my arms
"Hey man, you're not my type, but maybe for tonight I could bend the rules"
So we staggered to the street, stumbled to the corner, and hailed a cab and disappeared into the night
Guess there's nothin' left to do or maybe 'cause there's nothin' left to do
Let's get drunk and fuck
I'm not lucky, it's just you
Let's get drunk and fuck
Coulda done better, coulda done worse
Let's get drunk and fuck
You'd better not be there when I wake up
Let's get drunk and fuck
Let's get drunk and fuck
Let's get drunk
And fuck
It's a good night for my drinking
I don't wanna hear it, you don't wanna see me fall
And you don't know what I'm thinking
Just a good guess with your back against the wall
You don't care and I don't call
It's hopeless it's a big mess
You don't understand and I can't make you try
It's all stress and I guess
I've been getting lost in the sauce, yeah that's why
I'm too drunk and I'm too high
She said "I'm going out with my girlfriends.
Margaritas at the Holiday Inn".
Oh have mercy... my only thought,
Was tequila makes her clothes fall off.
I told her put an extra layer on!
I know what happens when she drinks Patrón.
Her closet's missing half the things she bought
Yeah, tequila makes her clothes fall off.
She'll start by kicking out of her shoes.
Lose an earring in her drink.
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall.
Drop a contact down the sink.
Them pantyhose ain't gonna last too long,
If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on.
She might come home in a tablecloth,
Yeah tequila makes her clothes fall off.
She can handle any champagne brunch.
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch.
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff,
But tequila makes her clothes fall off.
She'll start by kicking out of her shoes.
Lose an earring in her drink.
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall.
Drop a contact down the sink.
She don't mean nothing,
She's just having fun.
Tomorrow she'll say, "Oh, what have I done?"
Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost.
Yeah, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.
Oh, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.
Oh, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.
If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me (Her Memory Will) - George Jones
The bars are all closed it's four in the morning
Must have shut 'em all down by the shape that I'm in
I lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking
The whole neighborhood knows that I'm home drunk again.
And if drinking don't kill me her memory will
Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin 'til the sun went down
Then he'd fill him up a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin (whew, white lightnin)
Well, the G-men, T-men, revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin' (whew, white lightnin)
Well, I asked my old pappy why he called his brew
White lightnin 'stead of Mountain Dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew
As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin', thunder started clashin' (whew, white lightnin)
Well, the G-men, T-men, revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin' (whew, white lightning)
Well, a city slicker came and he said, "I'm tough"
I think I want to taste that powerful stuff
He took one slug and he drank it right down
And I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty, pleasin', you'r pappy's corn squeezin (whew, white lightnin)
The G-men, T-men, revenoers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin (whew, white lightning)
Well the night that was high, we got into town
Was the night that the rain, it froze on the ground
Down the street I heard such a sorrowful tune
Comin' from the place they call the Spanish Moon
Well I stepped inside, and stood by the door
While a dark-eyed girl sang, and played the guitar
There was hookers, and hustlers, they filled up the room
I heard about this place they call the Spanish Moon
One false step, you get done in
It's a cold situation
If that -- that don't -- kill you soon
The women will down at the Spanish Moon
Whiskey, and bad cocaïne
Poison get you just the same
And if that - that don't - kill you soon
The women will down at the spanish moon
I pawned my watch, and I sold my ring
Just to hear that girl singing, (hear that girl sing)
Don't take long, to wake up ruined
The women will down at the Spanish Moon
There's a bottle
On the dresser by your ring
And it's empty
So right now I don't feel a thing
I'll be hurting
When I wake up on the floor
But I'll be over it by noon
That's the difference
Between whiskey and you
Come tomorrow
I can walk in a store
It ain't a problem
They'll always sell me more
It's your forgiveness
Well, that's something I can't buy
There ain't a thing that I can do
That's the difference
Between whiskey and you
One's the devil
One keeps driving me insane
At times I wonder
If they ain't both the same
One's a liar
That helps to hide me from my pain
And one's the long gone bitter truth
That's the difference between whiskey and you
I've got a problem
But it ain't like what you think
I drink because I'm lonesome
And I'm lonesome 'cause I drink
But if I don't break down
And bring it on myself
It'll hit out of the blue
That's the difference
Between whiskey and you
One's the devil
One keeps driving me insane
At times, I wonder
Ohhw if they ain't both the same
But one's a liar
That helps to hide me from my pain
And one's the long gone bitter truth
That's the difference between whiskey and you
Ah, that's the difference between whiskey and you
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp
They're beginnin' to boil
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault
Don't know the reason
Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie, how it got here
I haven't a clue
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think, - hell it could be my fault
I blew out my flip flop
Stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's my own damn fault
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault
[Verse 1:]
I worked all week.
Cleaned up clean cut and clean shaved.
I got the cover off the '68.
I fire it up and let them horses sing.
A little pretty thing.
A little tan-legged Georgia dream.
She’s a rockin’ them holey jeans.
Baby what you got goin’ on Saturday?
You know words got it there’s gonna be a party
Out of town about half a mile.
Four wheel drives and big mud tires.
Muscadine wine
[Chorus:]
Oh baby you can find me.
In the back of a jacked up tailgate.
Sittin’ ‘round watchin’ all these pretty things.
Get down in that Georgia clay.
And I’ll find peace.
At the bottom of a real tall cold drink.
I'm chillin' to some Skynyrd and some old Hank.
Lets get this thing started.
It’s my kinda party.
[Verse 2:]
If you wanna drink,
Go baby just do your thing.
Give up your keys.
Hell why drive when you can stay with me?
And then after while we’ll sneak away from the bonfire.
Walk by the moonlight and down to the riverside.
Gotcha sippin' on some moonshine.
Baby if you're in the mood you can settle for a one night rodeo,
You can be my tan-legged Juliet,
I’ll be your Redneck Romeo.
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
I didn't mean to call you that
I can't remember what was said, or what you threw at me
Please tell me
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
And you're long gone, gone
It's no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy
'Cause every now and then, I kick the living shit out of me
The smoke alarm is going off, and there's a cigarette
Still burning
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
And you're long gone, gone
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
(Ah-ooh) it's no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy
(Ah-ooh) 'cause every now and then, I kick the living shit out of me
(Ah-ooh) can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
(Ah-ooh) I didn't mean to call you that
Memories and drinks don't mix too well
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
Looking at the world through the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fadin' fast.
Tonight I need that woman again
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in
Sit down beside me and say it's alright
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight.
But here I am again mixing misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell
That this honky tonk heaven really makes you feel like hell.
I light a lonely woman's cigarette
We start talkin' bout what we want to forget
Her life story and mine are the same
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame
But here I am again...
Baby, here I am again
Kicking dust in the Canyon wind
Waiting for that sun to go down
Made it up Mulholland Drive
Hell bent on getting high
High above the lights of town
'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough
Thirty days and thirty nights
Been putting up a real good fight
And there were times I thought you'd win
It's so easy to forget
The bitter taste the morning left
Swore I wouldn't go back there again
'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough
When it comes to you
Oh, the damage I could do
It's always your favorite sins
That do you in
'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy
Run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough
