Walked in late, day not done with me yet—
Said “just one drink”… yeah, I’m losin’ that bet
Little beach bar with a salty breeze,
Band playin’ somethin’ in a half-drunk key
Lime hit the glass and I raised it high,
Thought “one more sip… yeah, I’ll be just fine”
One turned into two real fast,
Feelin’ sharper than I did in the past
Somewhere ‘bout that third one in—
That’s when I really start to lean in… *(oh yeah)*
I was two margaritas from bein’ smart—
*(oh oh oh)*
Yeah, that’s what I told my heart
Salt on the rim, no rules, no guard,
Thinkin’ one more drink might play my part
Hey bartender—don’t act surprised,
You saw that look in my eyes
But I was already way too far…
Two margaritas past smart—
*(oh oh oh)*
Yeah, that’s where it all falls apart
I was two margaritas — way past smart…
*(oooh)*
Met a girl who said her name was “maybe,”
Said “where you been hidin’ lately?”
Said she knew a spot that’s hard to find,
I said “yeah, I’ve been in that state of mind”
Room spinnin’ slow but I felt locked in,
Thought “this right here… yeah, I’m winnin’ again”
Two turned into who knows when,
Lost count somewhere past ten
Still feelin’ like I’m right on track—
Ain’t nothin’ gonna pull me back… *(no no)*
I was two margaritas from bein’ smart—
*(oh oh oh)*
Yeah, that’s what I told my heart
Salt on the rim, no rules, no guard,
Thinkin’ one more drink might play my part
Hey bartender—don’t act surprised,
You saw that look in my eyes
But I was already way too far…
Two margaritas past smart—
*(oh oh oh)*
Yeah, that’s where it all falls apart
I was two margaritas — way past smart…
*(oooh)*
Woke up with the sun on my face,
Sand in my shoes, no time, no place
Phone full of numbers I don’t recall,
One says “you’re the reason we closed that bar”
Piecin’ it together, bit by bit…
Guess I was closer than I thought by far…
I was two margaritas from bein’ smart—
*(oh oh oh — crowd)*
Yeah, that’s what I told my heart
Salt on the rim, no rules, no guard,
Thinkin’ one more drink might play my part
Hey bartender—don’t act surprised,
You saw that look in my eyes
But I was already way too far…
Two margaritas past smart—
*(oh oh oh — crowd louder)*
Yeah, that’s where it all falls apart
I was two margaritas — way past smart…
*(oooh — hold)*
