Lyrics of
Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrise is a song by the Eagles, written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The song refers to the cocktail Tequila Sunrise and metaphorically alludes to feeling of defeat and disillusionment. According to Glenn Frey, the song emerged as he and Don Henley began working together in their first rented home in Los Angeles, reflecting on their experiences and ambitions.

It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky
Said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he 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


Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never co - ome
You just get numb

It's another tequila sunrise
This old world still looks the same
Another frame
