TEQUILA OR THE GIRL
https://suno.com/song/f00e4f68-798f-40b3-b6e2-977409a3a467
Verse 1
She walks in like last call lightning
Salt on her lips, trouble in her eyes
Bottle on the bar says, “Don’t fight it”
She says, “Boy, you better decide.”
One’s clear as sin in a shot glass
One’s brown-eyed and twice as strong
One’ll put me flat on my back
One’ll keep me up all night long
Pre-Chorus
Bartender says, “Son, make your choice.”
Like judgment day’s got my voice
Chorus
Tequila or the girl
Either way I’m gonna fall
One’ll burn my throat going down
One’ll burn my whole damn soul
One’ll leave me broke by morning
One’ll leave me wrecked for life
Salt, lime, or lipstick swirl
Lord, I know which hurts worse
Tequila… or the girl
Verse 2
Bottle don’t ask where I’ve been
Don’t throw my past back in my face
That girl keeps receipts and memories
Like love’s a court case
Pre-Chorus
Bartender wipes that counter slow
Says, “Son, you already know.”
Bridge (short, mean)
If I quit the bottle, I still shake
If I quit that woman, my heart breaks
One’ll kill me slow and steady
One’ll make me feel it every day
Final Chorus (commit to it)
Tequila or the girl
I can’t carry both
One wants forever
One just wants my soul
She’s crying by the doorway
Says, “You don’t have to choose.”
I slide that shot across the bar
And say, “Yeah… I do.”
And say, “Yeah… I do.”

You can't screw a shot glass, but you can get screwed by one :)

This is really cool. Very cinematic I was listening but felt like I was watching a movie scene. I like the perspective that he has to choose the lesser of 2 evils. i'll have to come back and listen to this some more.
one tweak suggestion: Lord, I know which hurts worse => Lord, I Don't know which hurts worse. Reinforce the suspense that he hasn't even made up his mind yet.
i'd pick the girl. 😉

Well we don't know that , cuz I left it opened ended , if he picked the girl or Tequila . it's the same deal in a Arny movie , He kills the man and cartel that killed his wife . Now his shot in the chest , as he smiles and the movie ends . WE don't know if walked out or died in that bar . For a few moments you think , I wonder what happened when it ends

They're all annoying after the honeymoon is over. I'll go with he picked the tequila and found a girl less demanding . Marriage is basically cell mates . boys night out and whiskey was discovered after the first 100 marriages took place. We have to spend our wholes lives with the same women ? Let's get drunk . Then Nashville added trucks and dirt roads for color . The steel guitar you hear is basically representing I've been married for 30 years . That lonesome sound . Well thats all got on jokes , My Rotary cuff tear is killing me , pain pills please

I think that's all a matter of perspective.

You see what I'm telling ya'll that song was sung by Billie Joe McAllister. You see he chose the tequila then jumped off that bridge
We still don't know why
You see that original thinking , Not I think its all a matter of perspective

No, I was only referring to your comment. - They're all annoying after the honeymoon is over. I'll go with he picked the tequila and found a girl less demanding .

Well thats all got on jokes , My Rotary cuff tear is killing me , pain pills please, not the song.

"She walks in like last call lightning" what a great opening line!
"One’ll put me flat on my back" - sounds like they both might do that!
Really cool vibe. I like how it invites the listener to decide which they might choose.
Good stuff Elvis. Like it.

if mankind never had original thinking , we''d still be in a cave writing on walls with a rock, Every thing on this planet you see use ect is from original thinking
