We drank Kalimotxo in the morning
We were back in bed by the afternoon
Her skin just like the Basque country
Kissed by sun and the salty air
I went back to Tennessee
When she took a husband by the rising sea
In a boat they raised a family
Just like the ocean she never belonged to me
We drank kalimotxo in the morning
We were back in bed by the afternoon
Her skin just like the Basque country
Kissed by sun and the salty air
As I age my memories fade
Yet red wine and coca cola stains
Stay on my mind and on my teeth
Like the lips of red Spanish vintage
We drank kalimotxo in the morning
We were back in bed by the afternoon
Her skin just like the Basque country
Kissed by sun and the salty air
I need something with less sweet a taste
Lovers memories replaced
And bitter thoughts are what remains
And bitter thoughts are what remains
