Agave Blue
Hugh Prestwood
The blue agave is the plant they use
Jalisco is the place where they transfuse
The silver river that I tend to cruise most every night
That reposado eases the pain of
The time I waste regretting in vain love
My life has taken on a pale stain of agave blue
Amber sunset seeping into a border town
Toast my rosy future slowly sinking down
I canโt sober up โ โtil that fifth gets drunk
Til my red blood turns โ agave blue
Bartender I intend to drink a lot
I want you pouring me the best you got
I want you making sure that every shot is the real thing
They say your sโposed to drink the good stuff neat
That using lime and Cointreau is a cheat
Ainโt it ironical that Margarita broke my heart
Early evening neon starts to flicker
Jukebox playing variations of โSheโs Goneโ
I canโt sober up โ โtil this bottleโs drunk
Til my red blood burns โ agave blue
By the time that moon gets high I will not feel a thing
But the blue flame of serenity tequila brings
Til my red blood turns โ agave blue
