JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Lyric Feedback Forum Another Tequila Sunrise

I'm sitting here looking out the window
The darkness of night is creeping towards the dawn
Ice cubes in the glass are slowly melting
But like all other nights the Queens not home

There's a beat in my head really pounding
From a song I was singing last night
There's a bottle on the floor somewhere empty
It's just another tequila sunrise

I stumble out of bed and take a shower
Trying to wash these all these cobwebs from my head
I look in the mirror and the King looks back at me
I must have lost my crown in the bed

There's a beat in my head really pounding
From a song I was singing last night
There's a bottle on the floor somewhere empty
It's just another tequila sunrise

I'll gather my wits and hold court again today
And demand all my Jesters to agree
There'll be treats for all and plenty alcohol
I'll dare to dance with misery

There's a beat in my head really pounding
From a song I was singing last night
There's a bottle on the floor somewhere empty
It's just another tequila sunrise

Since the Eagles has a song like it, ( Tequila sunrise ) which is really famous, all I'm thinking about right now is The Eagles.

What about: It's just another "Ole Whiskey Sunrise", or something like that one.

Possible Tele but this is what popped in my head knowing there are other songs about tequila, whiskey, beer, bars, and love no matter who made famous. I will wade the water for awhile and see where my fingers go. But i do appreciate your suggestions and as always it's needed by newbies such as myself. Keep up the good work.

I have to agree with Telewanger. You are digging yourself a really deep hole by using a title that is so close to a song that was a huge hit. You would have to be able to write a song that is so much better than the one by the Eagles that no one would make any comparisons. Frankly, this lyric doesn't reach that bar.

THE EAGLE SONG IS GREAT--

JMHO --I WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE : DRINKING TEQUILA ‘TIL SUNRISE

EXAMPLE:

CH
GOT a beat in my head THAT’S CRYING FOR MORE
SPURRED BY a song THAT was PLAYING last night
MY bottle’S NEAR empty HERE on the floor
I'M STILL DRINKING tequila ‘TIL sunrise

THERE’S ALWAYS ANOTHER PHRASE!

Write on--

Mackie

Kurt thanks for the comments. Pretentious I am not to think I could write anything to rival the aforementioned song.

Mackie thanks as I am searching!

well i was gonna say maybe use Another Bloody Mary Morning but Willie did that.Maybe just rephrase it kinda like Mackie sugged.
But definitly don't get near the Eagles melody with it.Good luck!

First Re-write(Broke the tequila bottle)

Whiskey Sour Night

I'm sitting here looking out the window
The darkness of night is creeping towards the dawn
Ice cubes in the glass are slowly melting
But like all other nights the Queens is gone

There's a beat in my head really pounding
From a song I was singing last night
There's a bottle on the floor somewhere empty
It's just another whiskey sour night

I stumble out of bed and take a shower
Trying to wash these all these cobwebs from my head
I look in the mirror and the King looks back at me
I must have lost my crown in the bed

There's a beat in my head really pounding
From a song I was singing last night
There's a bottle on the floor somewhere empty
It's just another whiskey sour night

I'll gather my wits and hold court again today
And demand all my Jesters to agree
There'll be treats for all and plenty alcohol
I'll dare to dance with misery

There's a beat in my head really pounding
From a song I was singing last night
There's a bottle on the floor somewhere empty
It's just another whiskey sour night

Now all of my mornings run together
But when dusk meets the day I'm doing well
The voices that I hear are not from drinking beer
Just look around you'll find my bottle near

There's a beat in my head really pounding
From a song I was singing last night
There's a bottle on the floor somewhere empty
It's just another whiskey sour night
Another whiskey sour night
