C.C.Waterback, one tequila sunrise One's for my achin' head, the other's for my bloodshot eyes And last night I let it all hang out, I guess that's how my head got sore C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more Last night we got invited to a party at the Jones' place For fun and games and booze and things I guess, I must've drank a case But that lady of mine, she drank warm red wine 'Til she couldn't even find the door She wound up in ol' Jones' bed And I wound up on the floor, hang, I give you C.C. Waterback, one tequila sunrise One's for my achin' head the other's for my bloodshot eyes Last night we let it all hang out, I guess that's how our heads got sore C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more And I said, C.C. Waterback, one tequila sunrise One's for my achin' head the other's for my bloodshot eyes Last night I let it all hang out, I guess that's how my head got sore I said, C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more
