[Verse 1]
You wouldn't know it
But tequila used to be my thing
I put on a show
I was a table top dancing queen
Had everybody going round for round
Drinking 'til the bar ran out
You wouldn't know it
But not it just makes me mean
[Chorus]
Used to be a dive bar butterfly
Now I'm just a couple shots shy of the life of the party
Used to be out in the middle of a dance floor spinning
Now I'm sitting on a stool feeling sorry
Used to be drinking for good fun
Now I'm just medicating with this buzz
Yeah, I'm just trying to be happy drunk
[Verse 2]
I thought a few all nighters would
Get me back to who I was back then
Now it's just a reminder
That the way it was ain't the way it's been
You left, now the silver don't hit the same
You took the fun out of my drinking game
To feel that way again
Oh man, I'd give anything
[Chorus]
To be a dive bar butterfly
Now I'm just a couple shots shy of the life of the party
Used to be out in the middle of a dance floor spinning
Now I'm sitting on a stool feeling sorry
Used to be drinking for good fun
Now I'm just medicating with this buzz
Yeah, I'm just trying to be happy drunk
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
[Chorus]
I used to be a dive bar butterfly
Now I'm just a couple shots shy of the life of the party
Used to be out in the middle of a dance floor spinning
Not a fool sitting looking sorry
Used to be drinking for good fun
Now I'm just medicating with this buzz
Yeah, I'm just trying to be happy
Now I'm just trying to be happy
[Outro]
No, you wouldn't know it
But tequila used to be my thing
Now it just makes me mean
