I ducked in that little tiki bar thinking I'd ride out the storm.
She was spinning pink and yellow paper umbrellas
and holding up her hand to have one more.
I stood and watched her sipping,
crying,
flipping through old pictures on her phone.
I said, hey, is this seat taken?
I sure hate for you to have to drink alone.
She cracked a smile, said, sit here if you want.
I said,
I don't mean to pry,
but girl,
you're doing this all wrong.
It's gonna take a lot of vinyl colliders
if you're gonna drink him off your mind.
I'll sit here a little longer and get us something stronger,
something that'll work in half the time.
Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would,
ain't nothing quite like good tequila
straight to chase the clouds away.
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell you,
paper umbrellas look
good on top, but they won't stop the rain.
She dropped her straw back in that hourglass
and said, I guess it's worth a shot.
I said,
lightning,
it don't mix with any kind of fishing.
So girl, I'm guessing time is all I got.
But tonight you meet a friend and nothing more.
I know what helps the heart to heal,
girl,
I've been there before.
And it's gonna take a lot of
vinyl colliders if you're gonna drink him off your mind.
I'll sit here a little longer and get us something stronger,
something that'll work in half the time.
Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would,
ain't nothing quite like good tequila
straight to chase the clouds away.
Yeah,
girl,
I'm here to tell you,
paper umbrellas look good on top,
but they won't stop the rain.
Yeah,
when love don't shine like you thought it would,
ain't nothing quite like good tequila
straight to chase the clouds away.
Yeah,
all them pink and yellow paper umbrellas look good on top,
but they won't stop the rain.
