Sweet Tequila Blues
Composer(s): Chip Taylor
Performer(s): 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

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
