Lyrics of
You And Tequila

You and Tequila was inspired by Matraca Bergs personal experiences in Baja California, and a friends tumultuous relationship with alcohol. Berg and Deana Carter co-wrote the song, drawing on their personal experiences and emotions to craft a powerful narrative about the intoxicating and often destructive effects of love and alcohol.

Baby here I am again, kicking dust in the canyon wind
Waiting for that sun to go down
Made it up Mulholland Drive, hell-bent on getting high
High above the lights of town

You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, one more is never enough

For 30 days and 30 nights, I've been putting up a real good fight
There were times I thought you'd win
It's so easy to forget the bitter taste morning left
Swore I wouldn't go back there again

You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
When it comes to you, oh the damage I could do
It's always your favorite sins that do you in

You and tequila make me crazy
You run like poison in my blood
One more night could kill me, baby
One is one too many, and one more is never enough
(The song fades out, so keep playing G Bm C until it fades out)
