"Tequila After Midnight"

Tequila after midnight drives loneliness away

Makes strangers all around you look familiar

And tequila after midnight makes you feel so warm

Makes you think you feel good when you don't

It's the same sad familiar story

Not a thing about it is new

Just about someone who loved and lost

And it's still hurting through and through

They say it drives you crazy, well I could hardly care

For quite some time now that's just where I've been

And they say tequila kills you if you drink too much

Lord, I hope they make tequila long enough

It's the same sad familiar story

Not a damn thing about it is new

Just about someone who loved and lost

And it's still hurting through and through

Oh, they say it drives you crazy, well I could hardly care

For quite some time now that's just where I've been

And they say tequila kills you if you drink too much

Lord, I hope they make tequila long enough

Lord, I hope they make tequila long enough
