Title: “Tequila and You”
Lyrics by : Paul Sullivan
June 8, 2025
(Verse 1)
Pulled outta town with the windows down
Sun on my face, new life in this round
Left the past in the rearview dust
Found something real I can finally trust
(Pre-Chorus)
You came along like a southern breeze
Now I’m high on hope and feelin’ free
(Chorus)
With a head full of tequila and a heart full of you
We’re dancin’ through the sunrise, chasin’ something true
Got no map but I’ve got the view
Right next to me and shining through
With a head full of tequila and a heart full of you
(Verse 2)
Laughed ‘til we cried on that old front porch
Midnight sparks, yeah, we lit the torch
You’re my wild and you’re my peace
You’re every mile of this sweet release
(Pre-Chorus)
No more runnin’ from who I am
You took my hand and we began
(Chorus)
With a head full of tequila and a heart full of you
We’re dancin’ through the sunrise, chasin’ something true
Got no map but I’ve got the view
Right next to me and shining through
With a head full of tequila and a heart full of you
(Bridge)
We toast to dreams we’re gonna find
To every laugh and every climb
And even when the skies turn blue to gray
We’ve got fire that won’t fade away
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, I’ve got a head full of tequila and a heart full of you
Living out a love that’s bold and brand new
The road ahead’s a golden hue
And every turn just leads me to
A head full of tequila and a heart full of you
(Outro)
So here’s to the ride, the nights, the view…
With a head full of tequila and a heart full of you
“The Best for Last”
July 27, 2025
(Mid-tempo, reflective country ballad)
[Verse 1]
I’ve known heartbreak, watched it walk away
Left with memories and a price I had to pay
Thought I’d used up all the good in me
Till you showed up like a calm and quiet breeze
[Verse 2]
You had your share of stormy nights
Chasing shadows, losing fights
We weren’t lookin’, but love found a way
And now it feels like home at the end of the day
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s true that we save the best for last
After all the lessons, we can breathe and not look back
It’s not fire and it’s not fast, but it’s steady and it lasts
You’re the peace I never had
Maybe it’s true—we save the best for last
[Verse 3]
You don’t try to fix what time has worn
We just hold each other through the quiet and the storms
No more pretending, no need to chase
Just two hearts resting in the same safe place
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s true that we save the best for last
After all the wreckage, we can love without the past
It’s not wild like the ones before, but it’s everything and more
You’re the calm I never had
Maybe it’s true—we save the best for last
[Bridge]
No fireworks, no dizzy heights
Just a hand in mine and peaceful nights
If this is how the story ends
I’d read it all again
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, maybe it’s true that we save the best for last
After all the heartaches, we’ve found something built to last
It’s not a spark that burns and fades, it’s the light that gently stays
You’re the love I’m glad I didn’t have too fast
Maybe it’s true—we save the best for last

“White Dress Wonder”
(Playful, mid-tempo country love song)
(Verse 1)
Sunlight spillin’ like honey on her skin
Barefoot beauty, breeze blowin’ in
That long white dress, swingin’ side to side
Like a slow dance under California sky
She twirled once, caught me starin’ dumb
Heart hit the floor like a kick drum thump
Lord, have mercy, I had to confess
I never stood a chance in that dress
(Chorus)
She’s a white dress wonder, a heart-thief queen
Lookin’ like a daydream outta my league
And every guy’s thinkin’ the same damn thing
But she’s holdin’ MY hand, lightin’ up my scene
Still can’t believe it, every time she spins
That angel in linen, yeah—she's all in
I’m grinnin’ like a boy on Christmas Eve
'Cause somehow she belongs to me
(Verse 2)
Straw hat tilted, sippin’ sweet iced tea
Catchin’ me peekin’ from behind my Ray-Bans sneaky
Lipstick laughter, swingin’ on the porch
Girl, you light me up like a summer torch
All the boys back home say I got lucky
Truth is, babe, you just saw somethin’ in me
Now here you are, lookin’ heaven-blessed
Stealin’ hearts in that Sunday dress
(Chorus)
She’s a white dress wonder, a firework spark
Dancin’ through the daisies, stealin’ my heart
And every gal’s wishin’ they had her charm
But she’s snug in my arms, leanin’ on this farm
Still shakes me up like the first time scene
That cotton and curve, it’s a country dream
I keep thankin’ stars each night I breathe
That somehow she belongs to me
(Bridge)
I’m no cowboy in a movie script
But she sees the good in this grit
And when she laughs, it’s gospel true—
I found heaven just watchin’ you
(Final Chorus)
She’s my white dress wonder, wild and free
She laughs at my jokes and leans into me
And every mile I’ve roamed or run
Led me to her and that July sun
Still catchin’ my breath when she walks to me
Wind in her hair like a melody
Yeah, I blink twice, just to believe—
This barefoot girl of summer... belongs to me
Your Eyes, Your Hips
September 8, 2025
Verse 1
Girl, the moment you walk in the room,
I’m caught in your fire, I’m consumed.
That smile’s a secret I can’t chase,
I’m already lost in the heat of your gaze.
Chorus
Your eyes send me,
Your hips end me,
Girl, you undo me with every move.
Your eyes send me,
Your hips end me,
I’m gone the moment I’m next to you.
Verse 2
The way you sway is a midnight crime,
Got me drunk on your body, one look at a time.
Every whisper’s got me on my knees,
Beggin’ for the mercy only you can release.
Chorus
Your eyes send me,
Your hips end me,
Girl, you undo me with every move.
Your eyes send me,
Your hips end me,
I’m gone the moment I’m next to you.
Bridge
No preacher, no prayer gonna set me free,
I’m tangled in the spell you’re layin’ on me.
If this is trouble, then I’ll never choose right—
I’ll take your kiss over heaven tonight.
Final Chorus
Your eyes send me,
Your hips end me,
Girl, you undo me with every move.
Your eyes send me,
Your hips end me,
I’m gone the moment I’m next to you.
Lock Screen Baby
October 26, 2025
Verse 1
You were scrollin’ through your camera roll,
Sunset hair, that heart I stole.
We ain’t gotta post it, we both know,
Baby, we’re the show behind the phone.
Pre-Chorus
Go on, give that screen a reason
To light up when I’m callin’ you home.
Chorus
I wanna be your lock screen, baby,
Light up your eyes every day.
Make you laugh when you check the time,
Make your girls all say, “dang.”
I don’t need no frame or fancy dream,
Just your phone glow on me.
Yeah, I wanna be your lock screen, baby —
Come on, set it, you’ll see.
Verse 2
Could be that pic from Salt Lake City,
You said my grin looked halfway pretty.
Or the one from Austin on the wall at Jo’s,
Where things weren’t quite told
Pre-Chorus
It’s a simple kinda love, but it feels so right,
Right there in your hand tonight.
Chorus
I wanna be your lock screen, baby,
Light up your eyes every day.
Make you smile even if it’s inside,
I wanna be your lock screen, baby.
Bridge
You can use the one at Christmas,
Or the one where I was a mess.
We’ve got a hundred reasons, darlin’,
To show the world we’re the best kind of yes.
Final Chorus
I wanna be your lock screen, baby,
Front-page love, no shame.
Let ‘em see that spark we’ve got,
Every buzz callin’ my name.
I don’t need no vows or diamond rings,
Just your touch and that screen to sing —
Yeah, I wanna be your lock screen, baby,
Make your world light up with me.
Quiet and the Chaos
Verse 1
The clock keeps time, your voice keeps mine,
Coffee gone cold, but your laugh still shines.
I trace your name on a fogged-up pane,
Countin’ the days till I see you again.
Chorus
Stand by me through the quiet and the chaos,
I don’t need words when the world gets too much.
Just your hand, and your head on my chest—
I need your touch.
Verse 2
Your letters smell like rain on the coast,
I read ’em slow, like a prayer, like a ghost.
Even apart, we move in the same hush—
Different skies, same kind of us.
Chorus
Stand by me through the quiet and the chaos,
I don’t need words when the world gets too much.
Just your hand, and your head on my chest—
I need your touch.
Bridge
Someday soon, those miles will fold,
And all this waitin’ will turn to gold.
Till then, when the night wind calls—
I’ll meet you there between it all.
Final Chorus / Outro
Stand by me through the quiet and the chaos,
I don’t need words when the world gets too much.
Just your hand, and your head on my chest—
I need your touch.
Yeah, I need your touch.
