about

From the 2024 Ted Stevens album "Almost There" featuring 8 original songs. "Tiki Bar Shots" and "Hard to Play" are the first 2 songs released from the album as a digital 45.

The only true part of this tale is there were lemon drop shots and a table of ladies, one of them said her name was Cleopatra and absolutely wanted nothing to do with the band, the music, anything....Gilligans Island Bar Siesta Key Florida on a typical Saturday night!

lyrics

I followed a trail of lemon drops right to where they start
She said her name was Cleopatra her friend was kind of hot
Our name is on the drum set and we hope you sing a lot
let's go to the bar and give it all we got

We were drink drink drink drinking someone bought another round
I asked my server for another lime I couldn't put 'em down
And that girl she looks right to me and says take me to the beach
And I grabbed her hand and we walked down to the sea

And we rocked rocked rocked man we never stop
We do shots at those tiki bars

We spilled ourselves onto the street my game was right on par
That is when we realized I couldn't find the car
And I thought it was kind of funny she thought I was acting lame
And right about then it started to pour some rain

Well we finally found the car parked behind the lot
Sometimes a story man is all that you got
I stumbled back to my pickup truck parked behind the bar
At least nobody stole my old guitar
