You never met a sweeter child
She wouldn't hurt a fly
She calls her mama every morning
Talks to Jesus every night

She said I never been across any borders
So we drove down to Mexico
In a bikini with a drink in her hand
I saw a side to her that I've never known

She's got a stiff left hook
She's got a mouth on her too
She knows those words no preacher mans ever heard
Bring on the salt and lime
We'll have a real good time
Me and my tequila mockingbird
My tequila mockingbird

I never knew she could dance like that
She could make a grown man blush
Let's find that ocean and lose these clothes
She said I got a thirst
A thirst for love
Yeah

She's got a stiff left hook
She's got a mouth on her too
She knows those words no preacher mans ever heard
Bring on the salt and lime
We'll have a real good time
Me and my tequila mockingbird
My tequila mockingbird

I like it when she's behaving badly
She says bring it on
And I say gladly
Out of the shadows like old Boo Radley
Here she comes
Yeah

She's got a stiff left hook
She's got a mouth on her too
She knows those words no preacher mans ever heard
Bring on the salt and lime
We'll have a real good time
Me and my tequila mockingbird
Oh my tequila mockingbird
Yes my tequila
Oh my tequila mockingbird
