Tequila Little Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pardon me, I don't mean to pry
I saw the tears falling from your eyes, and I thought
You're too pretty not to wear a smile
Hope you don't mind if I sit down for awhile

[Chorus]
'Cause I want tequila little time with you
A little salt and a lime will do
Hey bar man, will you bring us two?
I want tequila little time with you
Talkin' it all out
Seein' what you're all about
I hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me too

[Verse 2]
We don't have to talk about the past
Here's to moving forward and not looking back
Little later, we can take it to the dance floor
But until then, let's order a couple more

[Chorus]
'Cause I want tequila little time with you
A little salt and a lime will do
Hey bar man, will you bring us two?
I want tequila little time with you
Talkin' it all out
Seein' what you're all about
I hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me too
[Bridge]
It's good to see you laughin'
I guess this had to happen
Now let's just get to dancin'

[Chorus]
'Cause I want tequila little time with you
A little salt and a lime will do
Hey bar man, will you bring us two?
I want tequila little time with you
Talkin' it all out
Seein' what you're all about
I hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me too

[Outro]
Hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me too
Hope you're wantin' tequila little time with me too, oh

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“Tequila Little Time” is the the third single to be released off of Jon’s 3rd album Heartache Medication.

The song describes a man who is picking up a woman at a bar and wants to spend time with her, or as the clever wordplay states, “I want tequila little time with you,” meaning, “I want to kill a little time with you” as they are talking over drinks while conversing.

The song features Spanish Horns, which haven’t been in any of Pardi’s singles up to this point. It has a very chill feel to it and many have drawn comparisons of it’s beat to “It’s 5 O'clock Somewhere” by Alan Jackson.

What did Jon Pardi say about "Tequila Little Time"?
Genius Answer

Jon has said,

I feel like this goes great on a boat, a lake or pool and just any kind of atmosphere of having a good time. It’s about picking up a girl that’s down and maybe, maybe we want to do a shot of tequila? There’s no answer, but maybe. She starts feeling better, and it’s fun. It’s just a fun song
