We drank
cold tequila
on a simmering summer night
We went
skinny dipping in the river
under stars a-shining bright
We lost
innocence and inexperience
just trying to get it right
Desperate youth
and cold tequila
on an endless summer night
I saw you in the parking lot
of the Town & Country store
Riding shotgun with your girlfriends
in a dusty, rusty Ford
Your hair was blowing out the window
Your smile an acre wide
I chased you down to invite you all
to go swimming with us that night
We drank
cold tequila
on a simmering summer night
We went
skinny dipping in the river
under stars a-shining bright
We lost
innocence and inexperience
just trying to get it right
Desperate youth
and cold tequila
On an endless summer night
You showed up close to twilight
with cold tequila and warm beer
We listened to No Fences
And we hollered and we cheered
Billy built a bonfire
Right on the pebbly shore
The reflection in your eyes
Left me hoping for a kiss or more
When you handed me the bottle
and said that you was having fun
I knew you’d be my only girl
Until our days were done
We drank
cold tequila
on a simmering summer night
We went
skinny dipping in the river
under stars a-shining bright
We lost
innocence and inexperience
just trying to get it right
Desperate youth
and cold tequila
on an endless summer night
The night it ended far too soon
It was time to get on home
As you piled into your pickup
Said I’d call you on the phone
Watched your taillights as they disappeared
down the dark two-laned highway
I could taste your lip gloss just a bit
And my memories replayed us
drinking
cold tequila
on a simmering summer night
skinny dipping in the river
under stars a-shining bright
losing
innocence and inexperience
just trying to get it right
Desperate youth
Cold tequila
Long gone summer nights
