It's a slow scene at teh country 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 thier way to San Antone


(Bridge1)
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
everytime she steps out on the stage

(Chorus)
Tequila mockingbird flying underneath the neon moon
tequila mockingbird dreaming of a love that ended too soon
she sings that saddesr song you ever heard
so bittersweet
tequila mockingbird
tequila mockingbird


well now once she had a man and they called him diamond man
he was wild and reckless as a mustang stud
'till one night Tequila found him with the gamblers gathered 'round him
Lyin' in a pool of cheater's blood

(Chorus)

she sings ooh 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

(Chorus)

she sings ooh hoo woo hoo hoo
she sings ooh hoo woo hoo hoo o
