Tequila Mockingbird Lyrics - Pam Tillis

Its a slow, smoky scene at the county line cantina 

Where strangers stop to hear her sing a song 

Shes 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 cheaters 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 hoo 

I know hes 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
