The Ballad of Pedro Aguayo

[Verse] There ain't no tequila in Texas The waiter said he couldn't serve me any That and the fact my ex's name was tattooed on the side of the bottle I took as a bad omen So we left [Pre-Chorus] So we drove all the way back down to the valley Drove to the south of the border Right across the river to the Progreso bridge To a little hole in the wall with sawdust on the floor [Chorus] And there it was I had never heard of Pedro Aguayo before The whole family was there And I took that as a sign from God To drown my sorrows in their presence [Verse 2] And they started coming around Introducing themselves to me Oh Hello My name is Pedro Aguayo And I said Oh My name is also Pedro Aguayo No No No You don't understand I'm Pedro Aguayo I said Oh I understand you are also Pedro Aguayo No You don't understand I'm his father I said Oh My father was also Pedro Aguayo Well He was No You don't understand I'm his grandfather I said Oh My grandfather was also Pedro Aguayo And they started laughing And I was starting to get drunk [Pre-Chorus] And my uncle walks in with his wife He got deported last year And he moved back with my parents And then they just got tired of him And then my wife got tired of him And she got tired of her sister And she got tired of her sister's husband So they left me too So they moved back in with her parents And then they got tired of him [Chorus] And we said Hey Hey You know there's something called the internet You know you can work from home now Right? So he took that as a sign from God to come back to Texas And here we are In a hole in the wall with sawdust on the floor Drinking tequila named after my ex-husband With my family In the south of the border And it ain't half bad
