Along with Desperado, it was one of two songs they came up with the first week that they started writing together. The songs formed the basis for a Western theme, with Frey and Henley comparing the life of a cowboy to that of a musician.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-weight: 900\">Tequila Sunrise shows the transient nature of each job, as the singer falls for a woman who just wants to use him and move on. The theme didn&#8217;t immediately connect with the buying public, but the songs stood the test of time and became staples of the Eagles catalog.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/div>\n<input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69ea61810cd8c6023620599' value='69ea61810cd8c6023620599'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69ea61810cd8c6023620599' value='KEY OF D'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69ea61810cd8c6023620599' value='Show Less'><button id='bg-showmore-action-69ea61810cd8c6023620599' class='bg-showmore-plg-button bg-orange-button  '   style=\" color:#4a4949;\">KEY OF D<\/button><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69ea61810cd8c6023620599' ><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 16pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 900\">[D] It&#8217;s another tequila sunrise, [A] s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 900\">tarin&#8217;
