        Well, I drove down to the ocean
        Left my heartache way behind
        But the rain won't leave, and the pain won't ease
        And the sun don't wanna shine
        So I ordered me up a killer
        Found a view out across the sea
        I sat down in the sand, a drink in my hand
        And the glass lookin' back at me
        I got a bug in my margarita
        Seems bad luck won't leave me alone
        I've got a woman I'm tryin' to drink away
        And I got a long, long way to go
        Yeah, I got a long, long way to go
        Well, I met an ol' boy from Georgia
        His woman done knocked him down
        I asked him how he's doin', he stared at me confused
        And said, "Hey, ain't you look around?"
        He said "The rain won't leave, and the pain won't ease
        "And the sun don't wanna shine
        "And there's somethin' in the bottom of this drink I've
        just got
        "And it don't look like a worm to me
        "I got a bug in my margarita
        Seems bad luck won't leave me alone
        I've got a woman I'm tryin' to drink away
        And I got a long, long way to go
        Yeah, I got a long, long way to go"
        So we put our drinks together, and toasted rainy weather
        And the women that had done us wrong
        Then we threw back margaritas, the bugs just made it sweeter
        And we both sang a happy song
        I got a bug in my margarita
        Seems bad luck won't leave me alone
        I've got a woman I'm tryin' to drink away
        And I got a long, long way to go
        Yeah, I got a bug in my margarita
        Seems bad luck won't leave me alone
        I've got a woman I'm tryin' to drink away
        And I got a long, long way to go
        Yeah, I got a bug in my margarita
        Seems bad luck won't leave me alone
        I've got a woman I'm tryin' to drink away
        And I got a long, long way to go
        Yeah, I got a long, long way to go
