Lyrics

[Intro]

Woo

[Verse 1]

Well, standing here between the lost and the found

Mm, do I head home or do I buy another round?

Well, I was just popping in on a Tuesday night

When a little devil says it'll be alright

[PreChorus]

See, the mind is willing, but the body's not able

'Cause later on, I'll be dancing on the table

I can't slow down when I'm having fun

And that devil keeps telling me I'm twenty-one

Twenty-one, twenty-one

[Chorus]

But I don't bounce back

Like the way I used to do

No, I don't bounce back

I'm no longer bulletproof

For I've learnt that there are things that send me wacko

Like mixing dip up in tequila and tobacco

I'll never know how or why or when

'Til it's never again, never again, never again, no, no, no, no

'Cause I don't bounce back

[Verse 2]

Now, the first few drinks go down so easy

Where I think I'm pretty funny but I get bit sleazy (We've all seen it)

Busting out the lines and the moves think I'm like I'm George Clooney

Mm, but everybody knows it, I'm just a freakin' looney

[PreChorus]

And now it's last drinks called at quarter to four

It's the same old lesson that I've learnt before

Tomorrow, I'll reap the seeds I've sown

But until then, it's just one for the road

One for the road, one for the road

[Chorus]

But I don't bounce back

Like the way I used to do

No, I don't bounce back

I'm no longer bulletproof

Well, it's a long way off back into the saddle

Guilt and regret is more than I can handle

I'll never know how or why or when

'Til it's never again, never again, never again, no, no, no, no

'Cause I don't bounce back

[PostChorus]

Mm, like the way I used to

No, no-no, no, no

Oh, oh-oh

Woo

[Bridge]

Oh, burning those bridges with calls and text-es

Harassing old bosses and the pissed off exes

All my exes in Texas

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't bounce back

Like the way I used to do

No, I don't bounce back

Well, I'm no longer bulletproof

Well, over the years, you're supposed to get wiser

Putting those wild days behind you

But I know it's only a matter of when

I'll say never again, never again, never again, no, no, no, no

'Cause I don't bounce back

[PostChorus]

Mm, like the way I used to do

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, I don't bounce back

Mm, I don't bounce back

[Outro]

Well, standing here between the lost and the found

Mm, do I head home or do I buy another round?

Tequila, ay-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
