A#
I'm callin' my friends
Dm          C
I wanna go downtown
A#                              Dm       C
I'm gettin' all dressed up and ready to go

I'm feelin' myself
I'm lettin' my hair down
I'm givin' 'em hell when I walk in the door

           A#
'Cause I'm comin' in hot
         Dm         C
Feelin' light as a feather
When the bartender says
"Hey, what can I getcha?"

Chorus:
               A#
I'm thinkin' straight
                 Dm             C
Tequila, little salt, a little lime
   A#
Straight
                  Dm             C
To dancin' like I do it all the time
I might just kiss somebody
I might be out all night
I might be drinkin', but you ain't on my mind
'Cause I'm thinkin' straight
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, oh, I'm thinkin' straight
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh-huh

Ain't wonderin' why
Ain't wonderin' where you been
I'm throwin' 'em back, like
I don't even know your name
Your smile, your lyin' eyes
Underneath those neon lights

Chorus:
I'm thinkin' straight
Tequila, little salt, a little lime
Straight
To dancin' like I do it all the time
I might just kiss somebody
I might be out all night
I might be drinkin', but you ain't on my mind
'Cause I'm thinkin' straight
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, oh, I'm thinkin' straight
Uh-huh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh-huh

Don't you try to show up,
don't you call me on my phone
Baby, I don't think you wanna know

Chorus:
I'm thinkin' straight
Tequila, little salt, a little lime
Yeah
Straight
To dancin' like I do it all the time
I might just kiss somebody
I might be out all night
I might be drinkin', but you ain't on my mind
'Cause I'm thinkin' straight
Tequila, little salt, a little lime
Straight
To dancin' like I do it all the time
I might just kiss somebody
I might be out all night
I might be drinkin', but you ain't on my mind
'Cause I'm thinkin' straight
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, oh, I'm thinkin' straight
Uh-huh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh-huh

I'm thinkin' straight
