Sea of Tequila

The good Lord walked on the water

  I walked on a sea of tequila

Until I fell through

  Then I found you

We jumped in and drank that sea dry

  But I'll tell you what

If the ocean was tequila

  And I was a duck

I would dive to the bottom

  And never come up

But that ocean ain't tequila

  And I'm not a duck

So barmaid, set 'em up

  Let's have a few drinks

And play a little Hank

  We'll talk about the good old days

When we robbed them banks

  All that money we had

How we checked into the Hotel Swank

  We ate them steaks without any bones

Sat around and listened to the Stones

  We sat there and seen a beautiful

Rainbow in the sky at midnight

  I held you real tight

And we watched the most beautiful

  Rainbow all night

Then "black lightning" flashed

  All over the sky

And you ran into the darkness

  Without saying good-bye

Jump on your horse

  And ride real hard

North to El Paso

  Don't look back

Because the federales are right behind

  And they won't be kind

NOTE:  Beautiful rainbows at midnight

              Black lightning flashing across sky

              Pour another tequila
