Tequila Does

(album: The Marfa Tapes - 2021)

His last name was Flores
He came up from Juárez looking for a hell of a time
With a blonde señorita
And a tall margarita
We danced on the tables all night
Then I said, "Adiós, Casamigos is taking me home tonight"

'Cause he don't love me like tequila does
Mmm, nobody can
He don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does

I'd sure like to find
A cowboy tonight
To get me back in the saddle
But the boys around here
They drink domestic beer
They're all hat, no cattle
But I won't sleep alone
'Cause my old pal Patrón is taking me home tonight

'Cause he don't love me like tequila does
Mmm, nobody can
He don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does

Well, I might as well face it
I'm always chasing a kiss with a twist of a lime
And when I'm drinking doubles
I'm nothing but trouble
And trouble's so easy to find
So, hand me a sombrero
'Cause Jose Cuervo
Is taking me home tonight (Taking her down tonight)

He don't love me like tequila does
Mmm, nobody can
He don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does
He don't love me like tequila does
Mmm, nobody can
He don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does
He don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does
