May Songwriting Challenge- Day 28: Two Tequilas Ago

Almost there folks! I’m almost there! My goal is to catch up by 2:00, so I can hopefully go get my oil changed before our drive to Indiana next weekend. Plus, this starbucks is closing at 2 for a store meeting, so time to hustle! File this one under another one of our “hey, that’d be a fun song” conversations at dinner time. My boyfriend has really been a trooper throughout this challenge, listening to my lyrics and letting me vent my frustrations.

V1:

The ones who say “don’t run from your problems”

Have obviously, never lost in love

‘Cause my first instinct to solve ‘em

Is to buckle down, with wheels up

Panama City, for the weekend

Rented myself a red corvette

Which helped me pick up a new friend

Sweet little local brunette

CH:

Watchin’ the waves from a beach cantina

She’s sippin’ on mango magaritas

No, I’m not too far behind

Lickin’ salt, suckin limes

A perfect mix, her sunburnt lips, and a taste of Mexico

Yeah, I forgot why I miss you, ‘Bout to tequilas ago

V2:

Band started to play, that girl can salsa

I’ve never seen a woman move quite like that

I don’t usually dance, but man I wanna

Maybe it’s the Cuervo, but I ain’t holdin’ back

She laughed at my moves

Then pulled me in real close

Said “how ‘bout another round

Then you can walk me home”

CH:

Watchin’ the waves from a beach cantina

She’s sippin’ on mango magaritas

No, I’m not too far behind

Lickin’ salt, suckin limes

A perfect mix, her sunburnt lips, and a taste of Mexico

Yeah, I forgot why I miss you, ‘Bout to tequilas ago

BR:

So baby, enjoy your life, with whatever his face

Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a double shot with my name

CH:

Watchin’ the waves from a beach cantina

She’s sippin’ on mango magaritas

No, I’m not too far behind

Lickin’ salt, suckin limes

A perfect mix, her sunburnt lips, and a taste of Mexico

Yeah, I forgot why I miss you, ‘Bout to tequilas ago
