Living in a small town where everybody knows everybody can either drive you to drink or inspire you to write stuff like this. Tequila Sunrise is like a full length soap opera rolled up into a 5:37 song. The tempo changes throughout makes it a fun listen. It's like a musical gift that keeps giving! Especially with Woody Hill's guitar work! VP

This is the lonliest place in the whole damn town.
I don't know why I keep hangin' 'round.
I could've done better if I stayed at home.
You know I don't mind stayin' it's the stayin' alone.
There's an old timey clock tickin' up on the wall, singing the same old song for us all,
of far away places and faraway things,
everyday faces and magic rings. So make it,

one more Tequila Sunrise.
Strange are the things that money buys.
When you see yourself in the bottom of a glass,
you think of changes in your life that have come and past.

Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.

There were painted smiles, not one frown.
The whole damn place kept lookin' 'round.
They'd look at the door when someone came in.
They'd sit on their stools, they'd sit and spin.
They'd put their money in the record machine.
They'd play old songs they'd sit and dream
of far away places and far away things,
everyday faces and magic rings. So make it,

One more Tequila Sunrise.
Strange are the things that money buys.
When you see yourself in the bottom of a glass
you think of changes in your life that have come and past.

Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.

It's a quarter to one I got nothin' to show.
I got time on my hands and no place to go.
It's ten to two and I just don't know,
if this barstool had wings I'd get up and go.
It's twenty to three I'm as stoned as can be.
I can't stay forever cause it wouldn't be me.
Well it wouldn't be me.

So make it, one more Tequila Sunrise.
Strange are the things that money buys.
When you see yourself in the bottom of a glass
you think of changes in your life that have come and past.

Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.

Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.
Time sure is passing me by.
