Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Last thing I remember, I walked in solo
Then I saw that redhead puttin' on a show
Dancin' in boots with a mason jar grin
Bartender laughed, said, "Son, you're jumpin' in"

We clinked a shot, then two, then five
Her laugh was loud, and I felt alive
She pulled me close on a George Strait song
Now I'm wakin' up and she's long gone

(Chorus)
Tequila took her name, and maybe my shirt
All I know is my head sure hurts
Lipstick stain on a wrinkled sleeve
Boot prints dancin' all over me
Don't know where she's from or where she went
But I got her perfume in my truck seat scent
She might've rocked my world or played a game
But damn, tequila took her name

(Verse 2)
There's a number on a napkin I can't quite read
And a note on my mirror that just says "Yeehaw, sweetie"
My boots are swapped, and my belt's undone
There's a traffic cone where my cooler was, son

She had that wild look -- you know the kind
Where you lose your mind and track of time
Now I'm piecing clues from the night before
But I still can't find what I came in for

(Chorus)
'Cause tequila took her name, and maybe my pride
Might've promised her Texas or a double-wide
Got a sunburn line and a red lipstick trail
She left me lost in a honky-tonk tale
Don't know her number, don't know the bar
But I'd chase that girl if I knew where you are
She's a mystery wrapped in a hurricane
And tequila... took her name

(Bridge - Spoken)
If you're out there, redhead...
With that fire in your hair and my flannel on your back...
You might not remember me either--
But thanks for the ride.

(Final Chorus)
Yeah, tequila took her name, and my good sense
And I've been tryin' to track her ever since
There's a hole in my heart and one in my jeans
From the best bad night I've ever seen
So raise a glass if you've done the same--
Fell hard and fast, forgot her name
She left her mark like a midnight flame
And tequila...
Yeah, tequila took her name
