Lyrics
Jose Cuervo's Takin' Me Home Tonight
Inspired by Miranda Lambert's Tequila Does
100 BPM
(Verse 1)
C G D Em
In this bustling restless city after another long week,
My job's wearin' me thin, and solace is what I seek.
Chasing dreams that faded in the harsh daylight,
So Jose Cuervo, you're my knight tonight.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Jose Cuervo's taking me home tonight,
Helping me through with his amber light.
Don't need no man, don't need no friends,
With Jose Cuervo, I'll find my amends.
(Verse 2)
C G D Em
The bartender nods, as he knows my tale,
A song on the jukebox tells of love so frail.
He's left me alone, but that's quite alright,
Cause Jose Cuervo's guiding me home tonight.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Jose Cuervo's taking me home tonight,
In his golden embrace, I'll find my fight.
Dancing solo under the bar's soft glare,
With Jose Cuervo, I've got no despair.
(Bridge)
Am Em G D
I'm trading my heartache for Tequila's warm hug,
In each sip, I forget his fleeting tug.
In this dim-lit bar, under the neon light,
Jose Cuervo's the one holding me right.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Jose Cuervo's taking me home tonight,
My heart's aching, but my spirit's light.
Here's to the love that couldn't take flight,
It's just me and Jose Cuervo under the moonlight.
(Outro)
Am Em C D
Tomorrow's a new dawn, and it'll shine bright,
But tonight it's just me, my sorrow, and the night.
With the bottle half-empty, or maybe it's the thrill,
Jose Cuervo, take me home as the world stands still.
