Cocktail And A Song - The Highwomen

Daddy passed me his bottle of tequila

Said Times running out we're gonna have to pretend it's a margarita

It's the order of things it's the way it goes

Don't you look at me girl like I'm already gone

The day is close it won't be long

Couple of cocktails and a song

And don't you let me see you cry

Don't you go grieving

Not before I'm gone

He had his lighter on a leash and menthols in his shirt pocket

Said I'm going up with the smoke there's no doin' anything to stop it

So take a deep breath quit with the countdown

You've always been your daddy's girl nothing's gonna change that now

The day is close it won't be long

Couple of cocktails and a song

And don't you let me see you cry

Don't you go grieving

Not before I'm gone

And then he started down at his shoes

Through the pink begonia's blue

Said daddy all I wanna is your silver belt buckle

And maybe you black Stetson hat

And both of us laughed about that

The day is close no it won't be long

Couple of cocktails and a song

Don't you let me see you cry

Don't you go grieving

Not before I die
