(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 |
