I went down on a whim, I was just trying to find

     C            Am7           Dm7            G
Me a new place to chase cheap tequila with lime

Heard a half-drunk steel-drum Jimmy Buffett tune

When I saw who was asking what I was drinking

My heart damn near hit the floor

I couldn't get enough, held on to every second

I must've fell for her 'cause I stayed 'til closing time
