Jose

Posted in Lyrics. Written by Chris Reading on January 1st, 2008

The boss sent me to Monterrey
I’m stuck down here for 3 more days
I’d watch TV, but I don’t understand a word
I thought I’d kill some time
A little salt, a little lime
I’ve been asking for an hour, so he must not have heard

Chorus
Jose can you see that bottle of Cuervo
Sittin’ on the other side of the bar
I don’t speak Mexican
So I’ll just point again
We’re not getting very far
I thought I made it clear
But he keeps bringing me beer
Jose why can’t you see that bottle of Cuervo

Now I’m on a mission
To teach that boy some English
Cuz it was happy hour 3 hours ago
By now my speech is slurred
And my vision is blurred
But I’d hate to leave, just when I think we’re getting close

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
It’s getting pretty late
And if I leave now I could find my way back home
But I don’t wanna go….

Repeat Chorus
Jose can you see that bottle of Cuervo
Sittin’ on the other side of the bar
I don’t speak Mexican
But I won’t point again
It really shouldn’t be this hard
So I pushed back my chair
And I thanked him for the
And he said, “You’re welcome, y’all come back now, ya’ hear”
I guess Jose could see that bottle of Cuervo
