tequila mockingbird
pam tillis
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
flying underneath the neon moon
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
she sings the saddest song you ever heard
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
flying underneath the neon moon
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
she sings the saddest song you ever heard
it wasn't god who made those blue neon angels
i know he's waiting on the other side for me
flying underneath the neon moon
dreaming of a love that ended too soon
she sings the saddest song you ever heard
