Lyrics
Tequila Salt & Lime
Verse 1
She was lost when he found her
all alone at the bar
He rescued her from loneliness
was he her shining star
She didn’t want to rush in
longed to know that touch
She felt a spark of passion
just didn’t know how much
Chorus
She thought that he could love her
maybe for all time
They toasted their new friendship
with a shot of tequila, salt and lime
Verse 2
He’d spend the nights with her
in the morning he’d be gone
She just held him tighter
and wondered what was goin on
When his phone started ringin
in the still of the night
Caller would just hang up
she knew that something wasn’t right
Chorus
She thought that he could love her
maybe for all time
She brought the memories back with a shot of
tequila, salt and lime
Bridge
His memory still - lingers on
Her lust for love has - come and gone
(Lead Break)
Verse 3
He was gone when she woke up
it’s been one year to the day
The note left on his pillow revealed
the words he couldn’t say
said, “I never really gave up
on the life I left behind
Feel I need to go back
and give it one more try”
Chorus
She thought that he could love her
maybe one more time
--- fought back the tears with a shot of
tequila, salt and lime
Shot of Tequila Salt & Lime
END
