Baby, here I am again Kicking dust in the canyon wind Waiting for that sun to go down Made it up Mulholland Drive Hell bent on getting high High above the lights of town 'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy Run like poison in my blood One more night could kill me, baby One is one too many, one more is never enough Thirty days and thirty nights Been putting up a real good fight And there were times I thought you'd win It's so easy to forget The bitter taste the morning left Swore I wouldn't go back there again 'Cause you and Tequila make me crazy Run like poison in my blood One more night could kill me, baby One is one too many, one more is never enough When it comes to you Oh, the damage I could do It's always your favorite sins, that do you in You and Tequila make me crazy Run like poison in my blood One more night could kill me, baby One is one too many, one more is never enough Never enough, you and tequila, you and tequila make me crazy
