about

I wrote this back in the early 90s, played it once in public, and then lost all the lyrics. I've rewritten it about a dozen times. It's still not as good as it was the first time.

lyrics

too much tequila - Gwade
===================
well, i opened my eyes
as a gorgeous sunrise
gently kissed the side of my head

but all i could feel
were rivets of steel
so i crawled right back under the bed
:
now too much tequila
has taken its toll
my wallet is empty
but my liver is full
and i don't feel sorrow
for what might have been
if it hadn't been tequila
it would have been gin

now you may ask why
i don't want to be dry
and if i did i'd buy me a towel

but before i reply
i just might die
with my head soaked in mezcal

now too much tequila
has taken its toll
my brain, it is wasted
and i'm out of control
and i am not sorry
that i wound up here
if it hadn't been tequila
it would have been beer

i once had a girl
blah blah blah blah
she was insert feature here

i don't need no one else
to get feelin' top shelf
tequila makes my head too clear

now too much tequila
keeps me from bein' cold
my wallet is empty
oh, wait! it's been stol(en)
and i don't feel sorry
that my life's not top notch
if it hadn't been tequila
it would have been scotch

too much tequila
has gone down my drain
i go to bed lonely
but wake up with this pain
and i have my freedom
and a mem'ry or two
if it hadn't been tequila
it would have been you
