about

A song about a horse...and drinkin'. My friend Rob had the basic idea about a cowboy saved by a horse. Or was he saved by a drink?

lyrics

We rode all through the night and I put him away wet
It was a ride that I won’t forget
With my newly found amigo, being chased by two vaqueros,
And ten years later, I remember it yet.

It happened down in Mexico after riding in a rodeo
In a little cantina after the show
Though my ace beat his king, he said, “I don’t owe you a thing.”
Then my gun beat his knife and so I rode…

I saddled up and I rode, and I rode hard
On that horse that I won fair and square playin cards
I could still hear their gunfire and poundin' hooves
And Tequilla saved this Buckaroo.

Black as coal with two white socks, he kinda dances when he walks
And a long flowin’ tale and mane
I called him Tequila cuz that pretty seniorita
Kept on toppin’ up their glasses through the game

Trained up by a Picador, lancin' bulls for the Matador
Lightnin’ fast so he don’t get gored
What we did that night, dodgin’ bullets left and right
Riskin’ dyin’ versus tryin’ to settle the score

We swam the Rio Grande
And we left those vaqueros in the dust
And since that night, 10 years ago tonight
There ain’t never been a man I fully trust,
like my Tequila.
