Drinking beer from a tin cup
Margarita’s on the beach
Made me think life was perfect
Turns out perfect’s not in reach

Now I feel like the punch line
Of a joke I didn’t get
I’m sure it’ll make sense some day
It just doesn’t make sense yet

Another shot of tequila
So I can sleep tonight
I’ll deal with the pain in the morning
Right now perfect’s still in sight

Lying with a temptress
She’s fornicating with my head
Making the snow at home
Seem warmer than this bed

She whispers it excites her
When she feels a man’s touch
But move over hunny
Because with you: not so much

Another shot of tequila
So I can sleep tonight
I’ll deal with the pain in the morning
Right now perfect’s still in sight

How did I end up here?
So easily persuaded
Enticed by the lure of passion
Left confused and jaded

Feeling like a fool
Missing my own bed
I should be making love right now
I’m having another shot instead

Bartender just leave the bottle
Don’t worry it’ll be alright
I’ll need a little more
So I can sleep tonight

Just a few more shots of tequila
…. I should sleep well tonight
