Tequila Town - Brooks & Dunn
----------------------------
INTRO:
Left Laredo with the sun in my eyes, broken heart and a bloodshot sky
Been running since she left me alone, way up north in San Antone
Days get long but I don't get far, spent last night in some low life bar
Found her memory in some Mezcal haze, lost my mind while the guitar plays
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'till I live her down
Lost in Tequila Town
Left her standing in a tear-stained dress, cursed the day that I confessed
Wayward sins of a mortal man, watched the ring come off her hand
Looking back on all I've lost, price I've paid ain't worth the cost
I'll run this road until it ends and maybe find my way back to her again
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'till I live her down
Lost in Tequila Town
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'till I live her down
Lost in Tequila Town

Here are some lead parts I've managed to figure out from the original
recording. Perhaps some parts are not 100% exactly like they're supposed
to be but they're pretty damn close anyway...

Well, like I said, there may be some mistakes but hopefully you got the general
idea...
