Ralph McTell - Tequila Sunset lyrics

Takes a gla** of Tequila to raise up my spirits When I get down I'm drinking them two at a time 'Til I swear that I feel like a poor drowning sailor Salt on my lips and my tongue tastes of lime. Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise Let's put the light back in each other's eyes And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll We can take the road down south, babe, Get to Mexico. I don't wanna hear any sad stories Hurt glances in mirrors joined in direct lines I 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 sunrise Let's put the light back in each other's eyes And maybe tomorrow if the wheels can roll Then take the road down south babe Get to Mexico. Whatever we say it is just the booze talking Skinny dogs howl at a Mexico moon Kids wear no shoes, dusty streets full of dreams Aim for the dance floor and maybe they'll play a slow tune Oh Tequila sunset, Tijuana sunrise Turquoise and silver stars hung in the skies And maybe tomorrow the wheels can roll We can take the road down south babe Get to Mexico We will take the road down south, Get to Mexico.
