The dominos kept falling in slow motion
Every doctor's call and diagnostic test
I drove that hundred miles just to see you
The whole while cussing God and the devil in one breath
You knew I'd had my fill of the Bible
But you made it clear you loved me anyway
You never let on you were scared of dying
But you'd reach out for my hand
And I'd listen while you pray
So here's three fingers of tequila,
One finger for the cancer
One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins
One finger for the preacher
Cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much
Would put you through such pain
But I do believe one angel knows my name
When you have up on the chemo and went home
We wrote about the horses, kids, and cows
And you said you'd send me seedlings you were starting
And you thanked me for the way I still made you laugh out loud
So here's three fingers of tequila,
One finger for the cancer
One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins
One finger for the preacher
Cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much
Would put you through such pain
But I do believe one angel knows my name
Now there's a roany grazing peaceful where you're layin'
And a horse-tail woven in between your hands
And I'm pulling on your boots to 'em riding like I promised you I'd do
Every time I got a chance.
So here's three fingers of tequila,
One finger for the cancer
One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins
One finger for the preacher
Cause I don't believe the Jesus that you love so much
Would put you through such pain
But I do believe one angel knows my name
