C.C. Waterback Lyrics

[Chorus: George Jones]
C.C. Waterback, one tequila sunrise
One for my aching head, the other for my bloodshot eyes
Last night I let it all hang out, I guess that's how my head got sore
C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more

[Verse: Merle Haggard]
Last night, we got invited to a party at the Jones' place
For fun and games and booze and thing
I guess I must have drank a case
Well, that lady of mine, she drank warm red wine
Till she couldn't even find the door
She wound up in old Jones' bed and I wound up on the floor

[Chorus: Merle Haggard & George Jones]
C.C. Waterback, one tequila sunrise
One for my aching head, the other for my bloodshot eyes
Last night we let it all hang out, I guess that's how our heads got sore
C.C. Waterback, we can't stand the pain no more

[Chorus: Merle Haggard & George Jones]
C.C. Waterback, one tequila sunrise
One for my aching head, the other for my bloodshot eyes
Last night I let it all hang out, I guess that's how my head got sore
C.C. Waterback, I can't stand the pain no more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
