You and Tequila Lyrics

Cover art for You and Tequila lyrics by Kenny Chesney

This is the best song on Kenny's new album. I think it's about a forbidden love; he absolutely loves this woman but either he can't have her or she can't have him. He goes up Mulholland drive to kick the dust in the canyon wind just like they did the night they shared together. For a month (30 days and 30 nights) he's been trying to convince himself not to want her and he has to remind himself how bittersweet the morning after was - the bitter taste is because the night before ended. But in the long run he knows he's hooked and one more night is what he wants although he knows it will depress him again (because he'll want her more) but at the same time it will leave him wanting another night. "When it comes to loving you, oh the damage I could do, it's always your favorite sins that do you in" means he knows that if he lets himself go with her someone (his wife/family, her husband/family?) is going to get hurt but he can't stop because he can't control himself; she's a "favorite sin."

It's a ballad about forbidden love and the struggle one has with dealing with it.

@Geman Love this!
