(Pam Tillis/Mel Tillis, Jr.)

|
It's a slow, smoky scene at the county line cantina
|
Where strangers stop to hear her sing a song
|
She's a legend 'round these parts
|
For stealing all the hearts of cowboys on their way to San Antone
|
|
She used to be a desert rose with ballerina toes
|
But that wasn't in the cards she chose to play
|
The pages of her life are wrinkled, but her Spanish eyes still twinkle
|
Every time she steps out on the stage
|
|
Tequila Mockingbird, flying underneath the neon moon
|
Tequila Mockingbird, dreaming of a love that ended too soon
|
She sings the saddest song you ever heard
|
So bittersweet
|
Tequila Mockingbird, Tequila Mockingbird
|
|
Well now once she had a man, and they called him Diamond Dan
|
He was wild and reckless as a mustang stud
|
'Til one night Tequila found him with the gamblers gathered 'round him
|
Lyin' in a pool of cheater's blood
|
|
Tequila Mockingbird, flying underneath the neon moon
|
Tequila Mockingbird, dreaming of a love that ended too soon
|
She sings the saddest song you ever heard
|
So bittersweet
|
Tequila Mockingbird, Tequila Mockingbird
|
|
She sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hoo
|
It wasn't God who made those blue neon angels
|
ooh woo hoo hooh
|
I know he's waiting on the other side for me
|
|
Tequila Mockingbird, flying underneath the neon moon
|
Tequila Mockingbird, dreaming of a love that ended too soon
|
She sings the saddest song you ever heard
|
So bittersweet
|
Tequila Mockingbird, Tequila Mockingbird
|
|
She sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hoo
|
She sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hoo ooh
