about
In "Cancun Christmas Morning," Dougie Poole brings together two country music traditions: the Christmas song and the tequila drinking ballad. The song tells the story of the morning after a Christmas party—when the presents have been opened, the bottles have been drained, and the friends have all gone home. It's looking like a long year until the holidays come around again.
lyrics
Stoli caught the late night local home to Brighton Beach
And the sour mash high-tailed it back to Lynchburg, Tennessee
This Christmas party’s over
All my friends are heading home
But I’m not calling it a night til everybody’s gone
Tequila, my old friend
Well I just can’t seem to shake this lonesome feeling
That this’ll be my final Navidad
Our last hurrah
And boy, that’s how it's lookin’
And it’s a Cancun Christmas morning here in Brooklyn
Well, Fernet left after dinner
And Bloody Mary just this morn
Captain Morgan’s still here somewhere but we don’t talk much anymore
So pass the salt and limes my way
Today I’m laying low
Just kissing Jose Cuervo underneath the mistletoe
Tequila, my old friend
Well I just can’t seem to shake this lonesome feeling
That this’ll be my final Navidad
Our last hurrah
And boy, that’s how it's lookin’
And it’s a Cancun Christmas morning here in Brooklyn
And it’s a Cancun Christmas morning here in Brooklyn
