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 hoo   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
