One Drink at a Time

[Verse 1]
I never thought that I would ever be someone who’d wanna run away
But here I am in Houston and I’m hitchin’ with my thumb out on the interstate
I had a wild dream just to change my scene and try to get out of this cold
But I just couldn’t feel it, guess my spirit was just way too young to hold

[Chorus]
Could you take me to the border
Take me to the border
Baking in the sun
Drinking all the rum they got down in Mexico
I’m okay
I’m still searching
But I’ll find my way
One drink at a time

[Verse 2]
She said she needed some excitement so she went out there to find it
It didn’t take me long
Thinkin’ why the hell I’m stalling, got my walking shoes and wallet
And a hundred dollar bill in my coat

[Chorus]
Could you take me to the border
Take me to the border
Baking in the sun
Drinking all the rum they got down in Mexico
I’m okay
I’m still searching
But I’ll find my way
One drink at a time

[Bridge]
I throw my wristwatch out the window
I’ve got plenty of time
I’ll order double margaritas
Find a single señorita
And kiss my old life goodbye

[Chorus]
Could you take me to the border
Take me to the border
Baking in the sun
Drinking all the rum they got down in Mexico

[Chorus]
Could you take me to the border
Take me to the border
Baking in the sun
Drinking all the rum they got down in Mexico
I’m okay, I’m still searching
But I’ll find my way
One drink at a time
One drink at a time
