I’ve been drinkin’ straight tequila

Just tryin’ to ease my pain x2

I knew you were gonna hurt me baby

Sure as Gino’s my name

 

I’ve been drinkin’ straight tequila

Cause I feel so all alone x2

I tried to call my baby

She wouldn’t pick up the phone

 

I’ve been drinkin’ straight tequila… (out)

People are always asking me what my lyrics mean. Well I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work: if you see it, darling, then it's there.
