Tequila Mockingbird - Pam Tillis

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
