Lick the Salt

Wade Bowen


I'm tired cause these days are so long
Tired of going to the same old job
And grinding my fingers right down
To the bone

I need some time for me
I need to be near
The bluest of seas
Watching the seagulls
How they fly so free

I'm packing my bags on up today
I'm walking out the door with my
Flops in my hand
And I'm going down
Let the seabreeze take me away

Chorus:
I want a margarita
Lick the salt from my glass
And get wasted away with
Some dark head senorita
I want a margarita
Lick the salt from my glass
And get wasted away with
Some dark head senorita

I'm layin here with my
Feet in the sand
I've been away for a week
And I'm good and tan
Think I'll chug this Tecate and
Stumble my way to the bar

My boss expects me to
Come back to work
I just met this old gal and
She's starting to flirt
If she keeps this up I don't
Think I'll ever return

I love the sand, bikinis and beer
I've got Jimmy Buffet
Playing in my ear
I'll just keep my fingers crossed
That she'll take me home tonight

Chorus (2x)

Yeah and get wasted away
With some dark head senorita
