Tequila makes her clothes fall off…
I’m a rock-n-roll girl, always have been (although my sister did drag me to Niel Diamond and while I appreciated being the among the youngest in the venue, I still can’t believe I’m telling the entire internet I saw freaking Niel Diamond).
Today, though, I got into the minivan (we avoid driving it at all costs, you know, because of the french fries). The first clue that my 20-year-old was the last to drive it was the fact that the driver’s seat was wedged up against the steering wheel so closely that only Kate Moss and my daughter, Amber, could possibly have fit between the two.
After I moved the seat back and started the car, the 2nd clue was obvious - the stereo was tuned to COUNTRY. Now, neither my husband nor I listen to country music so this had Amber’s fingerprints all over it.
For some reason, I didn’t change the station right away. And in the end, I’m glad. Because the next song that came on had me rolling… I might even switch to country if this is the sort of thing they are peddling these days.
I Googled the lyrics - it’s a song by Joe Nichols (never heard of him… he and Geddy Lee probably don’t meet at the pub for a few cold ones, I’m guessing).
She said I’m going out with my girlfriends for
Margaritas at the holiday inn
Oh have mercy my only thought
Was tequila makes her clothes fall off
I told her put an extra layer on
I know what happens when she drinks whats wrong
Her closets missing half the things she bought
Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off
She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink
Them panty hose aint gonna last too long
If the dj puts Bon Jovi on
She might come home in a table cloth
Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off
She can handle any champagne brunch
A bridal shower with Bacardi punch
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff
But tequila makes her clothes fall off
She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes
Lose an earring in her drink
Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall
Drop a contact down the sink
She don’t mean nothing
She’s just havin fun
Tomorrow she’ll say oh how have I done
friends will joke about the stuff she lost
Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off
Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off
I’ve always wanted to be one of those chicks who gets all liquored up and wildly uninhibited. Unfortunately, I seem to go from sober to puking and passed out with no inbetween. I don’t think I’ve ever had a hangover. I don’t have any “Oh my god, what the fuck did I do last night?” mornings. No black outs. No waking up in some strange place with some strange person.
What am I doing wrong???
I freely admit to listening to GOOD country music. That, however, is an example of BAD country music! LOL
I do like Joe Nichols. He’s cute, too.
And, JustLinda, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get over here. I unpaying-attentionly deleted the email notification of your comment, and then was unable to find it on my actual blog, and then being a mother/housewife/student/absent minded nincompoop, I got distracted. SO! Tonight, as I was going back to look for a story to repost on a different blog (created by others just for this serial story), I found your comment about the name Rayna. I love the spelling you use. I’ve been told that your version is Hawaiian (by a girl with that spelling, oddly enough from Hawaii
So, I apologize for taking so long to get over here. I promise I wasn’t and didn’t ignore you.
I’ll come back and check out some of your other stuff, but you sound more than “somewhat amusing” to me so far.
WOW. You mentioned Geddy Lee. My husband is a big fan-even my t1j knows who Neal Peart is, and he isnt 6…yet.
We have a strict rule when you drive the others car, chair goes BACK! It may be too far back, but at least it is BACK.
As for the radio: we don’t do Country either. I will if I am told to listen to this one’s lyrics or something…Let them be Little by Billy Dean or something. I cried. Travis Tritt Its a great day to be alive…the husband thinks country music leads to inbreeding.
Nice to have found you…
I’m sure if you love this song, then you’ll love HonkyTonk Badonkadonk. LOL I saw the video to that the other day and my eyes about popped out of my head. Country music sure is a changin’ these days.
My hubby loves when I drink margaritas for that very reason, lol.
I lurk here quite a bit, wanted to come out of hiding so say hello.
Oh the stories I could tell. Oh wait, no I couldn’t because I was too drunk to remember and what I do remember, the brain cells have long died that contained that piece.
LOL! I LOVE that song. Thankfully I out grew that particular affliction.. lol
i dont listen to country but after that song hahahahahah. my hubby said that song is made for me..
i said what ever .
but hey tequila any one ^__^
Country is awesome these days. Another one you might enjoy is “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On” by Neal McCoy. Anyway, Joe Nichols is superhot, good karma was with you that day!
I’m not an uninhibited drunk chick either. I’m a sober -> pass out -> puke-in-the morning-while-I-don’t-have-drunkeness-to-mask-the-misery-of-puking kind of girl. It sucks. I’d much rather be taking my clothes off.
Ditto Sabrina only I didn’t know how to spell Badonkadonk so I’m glad she went first.
