about

The only song on this album that is also on my first album, and as such the track that I thought of as a 'bonus track' as I was planning this album out, even though it ended up being in the middle of the album.

Joe and Natalie and I have played a bunch of live shows together, and when we first got together to rehearse this was one of the songs we tried out. Joe immediately found a sort of Latin rhythm in it, and Natalie found a part that supported it, and in just a few minutes the song was completely transformed for me. I immediately knew that my music was in good hands, and when it came time to record this album I wanted the band version of this song to be on it.

For more information about 'Stale Tequila', see the liner notes from my first CD!

lyrics

After the show, I had packed up my guitar
You caught my eye, you were standing at the bar
You flashed me a knowing grin,
Looking so good, it was half a sin.
I felt myself start to fall in lust
My brain began to whirl
I thought it might combust.

CHORUS:
And I woke up
The taste of stale tequila in my mouth.
I looked around, I was all alone.
How could you do it
You were so beautiful.

A few more drinks, and a half a pack of smokes.
We talked for hours, you laughed at all my jokes.
Then we went back to your hotel
And did some things
I shouldn't tell.
And I felt myself
start to fall asleep.
You made me feel so safe
That it almost made me weep.

[CHORUS]

Then I awoke in a bathtub full of ice
You left a note, I had to read it twice
It said "call 911.
I stole your kidney.
Thanks for the fun."
And I felt myself
start to fall apart.
I know you took my kidney
but you also stole my heart.

[CHORUS]
