  • Baby, here I am again
    Kicking dust in the Canyon wind
    Waiting for that sun to go down
    Made it up Mulholland Drive
    Hell bent on getting high
    High above the lights of town

    'Cause you and tequila make me crazy
    Run like poison in my blood
    One more night could kill me, baby
    One is one too many, one more is never enough

    Thirty days and thirty nights
    Been putting up a real good fight
    And there were times I thought you'd win
    It's so easy to forget
    The bitter taste the morning left
    Swore I wouldn't go back there again

    'Cause you and tequila make me crazy
    Run like poison in my blood
    One more night could kill me, baby
    One is one too many, one more is never enough

    When it comes to you
    Oh, the damage I could do
    It's always your favorite sins
    That do you in

    'Cause you and tequila make me crazy
    Run like poison in my blood
    One more night could kill me, baby
    One is one too many, one more is never enough

    Never enough
    You and tequila
    You and tequila make me crazy Writer/s: Deana Kay Carter, Matraca Maria Berg

  • Frazer Without The “i” from The DfwContext is key to better understanding of the genesis of everything…
  • Cheryl from Lancaster, CaI know for a fact they did not write this song ....it was me n donna brown who wrote you and tequila
  • Camille from Toronto, OhDamn, this is SUCH an incredible song. That Matraca Berg, she is one amazing songwriter. Had no idea she penned this along with Deana Carter. Those two women are country royalty. Kenny is right when he says this song is therapeutic. I am dealing with a cancer diagnosis. It's been difficult. Every time this song came on the radio, it calmed me, soothed me, spoke to me. I think it's the tone of the song, the sadness. Kenny & Grace's voice are perfection here. Then those words: one is one too many, one more is never enough. So right. So right.
