Lyric
Yeah when I came to you were standing by the foot of the bedI was still hung over, and my eyes were bloodshot and red Did you think that things were going to be different? Did you think you tore my whole world apart? But as you can see there’s no pain in my head And down in this old broken heartI took your leaving with a grain of saltTequila and a slice of lime Yeah the minute you left Me and the boys went out and had a real good time It’s nice of you to check up on me Just to see how I was getting along But I had already gotten over it baby Before you were even goneBy now you have observedI was a little over-served last night I need to catch a few Z’s Baby please turn off that bedroom light See the boys are coming by to get me We’re going to take our little show into town I’ll need my rest ’cause they’ll be doing there best To find another (juke joint now?)I took your leaving with a grain of saltTequila and a slice of lime Yeah the minute you left Me and the boys went out and had a real good time It’s nice of you to check up on me Just to see how I was getting along But I had already gotten over it baby Before you were even goneYeah I had already gotten way over it babyBefore you were even gone Bye now
