Sometimes opposite people find a way to attract
That doesn't mean that they should and I'm an expert on that
I know she loved me but I was too set in my ways
I was tequila and she was champagne
She was the sweetest woman that I've ever known

I was too stupid to change and just let her go

She was a red rose and I was worn out blue jeans

I was tequila and she was champagne



I was too wild and too fast and too crazy sometimes

She was more steady and lovely and always so fine

I couldn't learn when to stop or when to run from the rain

I was tequila and she was champagne



Today I put her picture in a solid gold frame

To remind me what I once had and what I let slip away

Then I polished my dirty old boots and I toasted her name

I'm still tequila and she's still champagne



Yeah, I was too wild and too fast and too crazy sometimes

She was more steady and lovely and always so fine

I couldn't learn when to stop or when to run from the rain

I was tequila and she was champagne



Oh, I was tequila and she was champagne
