Tequila Sunset Lyrics - Ralph Mctell

Takes a glass 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.
