Tequila Little Time
Jon Pardi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pardon me, I don't mean to pry
I saw the tears fallin' from your eyes
And I thought, you're too pretty not to wear a smile
Hope you don't mind if I sit down for awhile

'Cause I want tequila little time with you
A little salt and a lime will do
Hey bar man, will you bring us two?
I want tequila little time with you
Talkin' it all out, seein' what you're all about
I hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me, too

We don't have to talk about the past
Here's to moving forward and not looking back
Little later, we can take it to the dance floor
But until then, let's order a couple more

'Cause I want tequila little time with you
A little salt and a lime will do
Hey bar man, will you bring us two?
I want tequila little time with you
Talkin' it all out, seein' what you're all about
I hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me, too

It's good to see you laughin'
I guess this had to happen
Now let's just get to dancin'

'Cause I want tequila little time with you
A little salt and a lime will do
Hey bar man, will you bring us two?
I want tequila little time with you
Talkin' it all out, seein' what you're all about
I hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me, too

Hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me, too
Hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me, too, oh

The blending of Country Music with Mariachi bands has gone on for as long Country and Mariachi bands have existed. The music they make is beautiful and timeless.
