SUN’S GONE DOWN LIKE A ROCK
I’M STUNNED AND STONED AND STILL IN SHOCK
THIS CITY GOT THE BEST OF ME TODAY

I’M BEAT UP, TIRED AND SORE
TURN ON THE RADIO AND LOCK THE DOOR
I START TO FEEL A LITTLE BETTER
AS THE MEXICAN ACCORDION PLAYS

AND I PRAY (THAT) SOMEHOW YOU WILL WRITE
AND THAT THIS BOTTLE OF TEQUILA WILL HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

SO I POUR A SHOT FOR ME
AND A DOUBLE ONE FOR YOU
TONIGHT I’M DRINKING FOR TWO

IT WASN’T ALL THAT LONG AGO
IN LAS CRUCES NEW MEXICO
YOU SANG LAS MANANITAS SOFT AND SLOW

WE MADE OUR WAY OUT TO L.A.
BUT I ALWAYS FELT YOU COULDN’T STAY
NOW IF I WANT YOU BACK I’LL JUST HAVE TO GO

SO I PRAY (THAT) SOMEHOW YOU WERE RIGHT
AND THAT THIS BOTTLE OF TEQUILA WILL HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

SO I POUR A SHOT FOR ME
AND A DOUBLE ONE FOR YOU
TONIGHT I’M DRINKING FOR TWO
TONIGHT I’M DRINKING FOR TWO
