August Knight - Tequila Sunrise Lyrics

Woke up on the beach one morning
An empty bottle at my feet
Took some time to get my bearings
I had too much to drink the night before

At the water's edge was a Mexican beauty
Long black hair down to there
Waves broke against her tanned, strong legs
As the sun fought with her stare

She was the lady from the night before
Senorita on the patio
Dancing with rhythms against my own
A G-string and a smile wax all she owned

We said goodbye to Mexico
We left our dreams there on the beach
We had to fly into Hollywood
Into the land of make believe

She was a movie star and a beauty queen
A pure Mexican delight
She got caught up in the masquerade
While my thoughts were still back on the beach

I left my lady there in Hollywood
I left for a world of my own
I left my heart with that senorita
For when we meet again on the sand
