[Verse 1]
It don't take too much
To get the wheels turnin' round and round in my head
Top shelf or Cuervo
I know it's gonna stir up every memory she left
Still burns, I can't lie
When I think about the good before goodbye
Guess that's what I'm drinkin' on tonight

[Chorus]
It'll make you think that you got a shot at the one that got away when it goes down
She's gonna tell you, she's gonna come back and that's what makes you stay for another round
Keep you stickin' around, keep pourin' out
Until she's all you thinking 'bout
It'll keep you hung up, keep you drunk on what it was
Man, that's what tequila does

[Verse 2]
It sneaks up on you
Goin' out for one turns into 2AM
You know what's next, get you lookin' for a text
Get you checkin' your phone again
Make you stay all night, it'll give you a million reasons why

[Chorus]
It'll make you think that you got a shot at the one that got away when it goes down
She's gonna tell you, she's gonna come back and that's what makes you stay for another round
Keep you stickin' around, keep pourin' out
Until she's all you thinking 'bout
It'll keep you hung up, keep you drunk on what it was
Man, that's what tequila does
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Yeah, that's what tequila does
Oh, woah, oh, oh

[Bridge]
It still burns, I can't lie (I can't lie)
Oh, guess that's what I'm drinkin' on tonight (Oh, woah, oh)

[Chorus]
It'll make you think that you got a shot at the one that got away when it goes down
She's gonna tell you, she's gonna come back and that's what makes you stay for another round
Keep you stickin' around, keep pourin' out
Until she's all you thinking 'bout
It'll keep you hung up, keep you drunk on what it was
Man, that's what tequila does
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Yeah, that's what tequila does
Oh, woah, oh, oh

Jason Aldean

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
