SWEET TEQUILA BLUES
Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez


I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it.
If I get close to it just put me on a train.
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town.
I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down. 

I knew a man with money in his hand.
He'd look that Jack of Diamonds in the eye:
Place it on the four an' let the seven close the door.
Take all them chips and lay right down and cry. 

An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it.
If I get close to it just put me on a train.
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town.
Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down. 

Take it Jock.
Instrumental break.
Here comes Carrie.

An' I knew a girl who thought she had the world,
With a slightly racing Spanish lullaby.
When her dream came into town she threw the whole damn thing around:
Some Texas girls just love to say goodbye. 

An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it.
If I get close to it just put me on a train.
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town.
Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down. 

We'll break it now.

Now here's one for the ladies.
Baby, where is my Mercedes?
Girl, I'm waitin' for the ribbons and the bows.
Just keep me guessin'; oh baby, I'm confessin'.
I know, you want two of them and three of those. 

An' I keep lookin for it, I hope I never find it.
If I get close to it just put me on a train.
And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town.
I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down. 

Texas blues

And get me back to Austin, oh damn, I miss that town.
I got them sweet tequila blues comin' down.
Got them sweet tequila blues comin' down.
