Pam Tillis - Tequila Mockingbird Lyrics
(pam tillis/mel tillis, jr.)Its a slow, smoky scene at the county line cantinaWhere strangers stop to hear her sing a songShes a legend round these partsFor stealing all the hearts of cowboys on their way to san antoneShe used to be a desert rose with ballerina toesBut that wasnt in the cards she chose to playThe pages of her life are wrinkled, but her spanish eyes still twinkleEvery time she steps out on the stageTequila mockingbird, flying underneath the neon moonTequila mockingbird, dreaming of a love that ended too soonShe sings the saddest song you ever heardSo bittersweetTequila mockingbird, tequila mockingbirdWell now once she had a man, and they called him diamond danHe was wild and reckless as a mustang studtil one night tequila found him with the gamblers gathered round himLyin in a pool of cheaters bloodTequila mockingbird, flying underneath the neon moonTequila mockingbird, dreaming of a love that ended too soonShe sings the saddest song you ever heardSo bittersweetTequila mockingbird, tequila mockingbirdShe sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hooIt wasnt God who made those blue neon angelsOoh woo hoo hoohI know hes waiting on the other side for meTequila mockingbird, flying underneath the neon moonTequila mockingbird, dreaming of a love that ended too soonShe sings the saddest song you ever heardSo bittersweetTequila mockingbird, tequila mockingbirdShe sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hooShe sings ooh hoo, woo hoo hoo ooh
