I got a buddy back home — JD…
I'm tellin' you… every one of y'all's got a friend like JD…
Loves his margaritas… a little too much.
Every time we go out he says,
"Just one more… I'm good… I got this…"
Man's always convinced he's about two margaritas away
from makin' great decisions…
Problem is…
He's usually about two margaritas past it.
So if you got a friend like JD tonight —
and I KNOW you do —
I want y'all to sing this one with me…
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…
Alright now — when I say two margaritas…
you say "past smart!"
Two margaritas!
Two margaritas!
I was two margaritas from bein' smart —
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 —
Yeah, that's where it all falls apart.
I was two margaritas — way past smart…
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…
I was two margaritas from bein' smart —
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 —
Yeah, that's where it all falls apart.
Alright, don't go quiet on me now…
Two margaritas!
I can't hear you!
TWO MARGARITAS!
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 —
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 —
Yeah, that's where it all falls apart.
I was two margaritas — way past smart…
That's what I'm talkin' about…
Y'all keep that goin'…
We'll see you at the bar after this one…
