Tequila Sunrise
Route 66 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starin' Slowly 'Cross The Sky, Said Goobye
He Was Just A Hired Hand
Workin' On The Dreams He Planned To Try
The Days Go By
Ev'ry Night When The Sun Goes Down
Just Another Lonely Boy In Town
And She's Out Runnin' 'Round
And I Couldn't Keep From Comin' On
It's Been So Long
Oh, And It's A Hollow Feelin' When
It Comes Down To Dealin' Friends
It Never Ends
Take Another Shot Of Courage
Wonder Why The Right Words Never Come
You Just Get Numb
It's Another Tequila Sunrise, This Old World
Still Looks The Same,
Another Frame, Mm...
"Tequila Sunrise" by Route 66 is a soulful and reflective song that tells the story of a man who is caught in a cycle of loneliness and disappointment. The song opens with the singer watching the sunrise and thinking about his life. He describes the beauty of the sunrise, as it slowly crosses the sky, but it is a bittersweet moment because he knows that he has to say goodbye to someone. This person is a hired hand who is leaving to pursue his dreams. The singer feels envious of him because he has the courage to follow his dreams while he remains trapped in his own life.
The next verses describe the singer's daily routine. He is a lonely boy in town, and the woman he loves is always out running around. She is not just another woman; he is deeply in love with her. However, he cannot keep from coming on to her, even though he knows that their love is not reciprocated. He feels hollow and numb, and he wonders why he can never find the right words to express his feelings. The song ends with another tequila sunrise, and the realization that his life is still the same. This is a powerful song about loneliness, unrequited love, and the search for meaning and purpose.
