I can still shut down a party I can hang with anybody I can drink whiskey and red wine Champagne all night Little Scotch on the rocks and I'm fine, I'm fine But when I taste tequila, baby I still see ya Cutting up the floor in a sorority t-shirt The same one you wore when we were Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle Swearing on a bible, baby, I'd never leave ya I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila I can kiss somebody brand new And not even think about you I can show up to the same bar Hear the same songs in my car Baby, your memory, it only hits me this hard When I taste Tequila, baby I still see ya Cutting up the floor in a sorority t-shirt The same one you wore when we were Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle Swearing on a bible, baby, I'd never leave ya I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila I ain't even drunk, I ain't even drunk And I'm thinking How I need your love, how I need your love Yeah, it sinks in When I taste Tequila, baby I still see ya Sorority t-shirt, the same one you wore when we were Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle Swearing on a bible, baby, I'd never leave ya I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila
