Tequila after midnight drives loneliness away
Makes strangers all around you look familiar
And tequila after midnight makes you feel so warm
Makes you think you feel good when you don't

It's the same sad familiar story
Not a thing about it is new
Just about someone who loved and lost
And it's still hurting through and through

They say it drives you crazy, well I could hardly care
For quite some time now that's just where I've been
And they say tequila kills you if you drink too much
Lord, I hope they make tequila long enough

It's the same sad familiar story
Not a damn thing about it is new
Just about someone who loved and lost
And it's still hurting through and through

Oh, they say it drives you crazy, well I could hardly care
For quite some time now that's just where I've been
And they say tequila kills you if you drink too much
Lord, I hope they make tequila long enough
Lord, I hope they make tequila long enough
