Tequila – bedre end mænd!

Miranda Lambert er en stor amerikansk countrystjerne fra Texas som siden sin debut i 2003 har udgivet et stort antal albums.

Nummeret “Tequila Does” er fra 2016 og findes på albummet “Wildcard”.

Det er et lunt lille nummer om en kvinde som finder stor trøst i at erstatte mænd med tequila. Sangen beskriver, hvordan hun sidder i en bar og oplever at mænd mangler de fleste kvaliteter af de kvaliteter der udmærker tequila.

Og med et citat fra sangen: “But the boys around here, drink domestic beer. They’re all hat, no cattle…” Hvem kan bebrejde hende for at finde alternativer?

Det er en varm og vittig sang. Dog antyder linjen “Then I said, “Adiós, Casamigos, Is taking me home tonight” at hun måske skal finde en bar med et bedre udvalg i tequila.

En sang, hvor tequila går hånd i hånd med kvindelig frigørelse:

His last name was Flores
He came up from Juárez
Lookin’ for a hell of a time
With a blonde señorita
And a tall margarita
We danced on the tables all night
Then I said “Adiós
Casamigos is taking me home tonight”

‘Cause he don’t love me like tequila does, nobody can
He don’t give me that border town buzz like tequila does

I’d sure like to find a cowboy tonight
To get me back in the saddle
But the boys around here drink domestic beer
They’re all hat, no cattle
But I won’t sleep alone
‘Cause my old pal Patrón is taking me home tonight

They don’t love me like tequila does, nobody can
They don’t give me that border town buzz like tequila does

Well, I might as well face it
I’m always chasing a kiss with a twist of a lime
When I’m drinking doubles, I’m nothing but trouble
And trouble’s so easy to find
Hand me a sombrero
‘Cause Jose Cuervo is taking me home tonight

No, they don’t love me like tequila does, nobody can
They don’t give me that border town buzz like tequila does

No, they don’t love me like tequila does, nobody can

They don’t give me that border town buzz like tequila does
They don’t give me that border town buzz like tequila does
