Not Enough Tequila
Chasing Shadows in Cozumel: Not Enough Tequila
Lyrics
Winters are grey in Tennessee
Expressing the dullness of winters in Tennessee.
That don't usually get to me
Despite the usual resilience, the speaker is affected by the weather.
But here lately I've been missin' the sun
The speaker is longing for sunshine recently.
So I caught a plane to Cozumel
Decided to take a trip to Cozumel for a weekend getaway.
Thought a, weekend in that salty air would do me good
Anticipated the rejuvenating effect of the salty air.
ct least I thought it would
Realizes that the escape might not be as effective as expected.
Here I sit with a drink in my hand
The speaker is now in a local cantina, presumably in Cozumel.
Local cantina with a sign hanging sayin'
Describes the atmosphere with a sign promoting good times.
Something in Spanish bout
References a sign in Spanish, emphasizing the carefree nature.
Let the good times roll
The sign encourages enjoying life and having a good time.
Between those sandy beeches and the margaritas
Alludes to the beach and cocktails, creating a setting for letting go.
Thought I'd find a way to let you go
The speaker hoped to find a way to move on from a past relationship.
But there's not enough tequila in Mexico
Despite the setting, the speaker realizes that forgetting is not easy.
Your memory didn't come around
The memories resurface as the sun sets.
No not until the sun went down
Reflecting on the past becomes more prominent in the evening.
cnd I startin' wishin' I had you to hold
The desire for companionship becomes intense.
It's a feelin that just won't fade
The lingering emotions don't diminish, even miles away.
Even a thousand miles away
Distance doesn't weaken the desire to reconcile.
I still want you back, with every glass
Every drink reminds the speaker of the longing for the past relationship.
Here I sit with a drink in my hand
Reiteration of the scene with a drink in hand.
Local cantina with a sign hanging sayin'
Describing the ambiance with a sign in Spanish.
Something in Spanish bout
Reference to a sign encouraging the enjoyment of good times.
Let the good times roll
Reinforces the carefree atmosphere with mention of sandy beaches and margaritas.
Between those sandy beeches and the margaritas
Similar to earlier, expressing the failed attempt to move on.
Thought I'd find a way to let you go
The tropical setting does not help in forgetting the past.
But there's not enough tequila in Mexico
Despite the surroundings, the speaker cannot let go of the memories.
Between those sandy beeches and the margaritas
Repetition of the theme of the beach and margaritas.
Thought I'd find a way to let you go
The speaker acknowledges the difficulty in moving forward.
But there's not enough tequila in Mexico
Despite the setting, the speaker still can't overcome the past.
No, there's not enough tequila in Mexico
Emphasizes that even in Mexico, with its tequila, the speaker can't forget.
