TIM MCGRAW
"Paper Umbrellas"

I ducked in that little tiki bar
Thinkin' I'd ride out the storm
She was spinnin' pink and yellow paper umbrellas
And holdin' up her hand to have one more
I stood and watched her sippin', cryin'
Flippin' through old pictures on her phone
I said, "Hey, is this seat taken?
I'd sure hate for you to have to drink alone"

[Pre-Chorus:]
She cracked a smile, said, "Sit here if you want"
I said, "I don't mean to pry, but girl, you're doin' this all wrong"

[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a lot of pina coladas
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
I'll sit here a little longer and get us somethin' stronger
Somethin' that'll work in half the time
'Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya, paper umbrellas
Look good on top, but they won't stop the rain

She dropped her straw back in that hourglass
And said, "I guess it's worth a shot"
I said, "Lightnin', it don't mix with any kind of fishin'
So, girl, I'm guessin' time's all I've got
But tonight you need a friend and nothin' more
I know what helps a heart to heal, girl
I've been there before"

[Chorus:]
It's gonna take a lot of pina coladas
If you're gonna drink him off your mind
I'll sit here a little longer and get us somethin' stronger
Somethin' that'll work in half the time
'Cause when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, girl, I'm here to tell ya, paper umbrellas
Look good on top, but they won't stop the rain
Yeah, when love don't shine like you thought it would
Ain't nothin' quite like good tequila straight
To chase the clouds away
Yeah, all them pink and yellow paper umbrellas
Look good on top, but they won't stop the rain
