Tequila Sunrise
Alan Jackson · Other Songs - Alan Jackson
It's another tequila runrise
Staring slowly cross the sky
I said goodbye
And he was just a hired hand
Working on the dreams he'd planned to try
The days go by
Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' round
She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long
Oh and it's a hollow feelin'
When it comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends
So take another shot of courage
And wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise
This old world still looks the same
Another frame
Staring slowly cross the sky
I said goodbye
And he was just a hired hand
Working on the dreams he'd planned to try
The days go by
Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' round
She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long
Oh and it's a hollow feelin'
When it comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends
So take another shot of courage
And wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise
This old world still looks the same
Another frame
