Somewhere Over Laredo

Caught me a red eye flight out of Houston

Found me a window seat with a view

Headed out west for South California

One Tito's in, I'm thinking 'bout you

In that little border town

Where the desert glows gold when the sun goes down

My head's thirty thousand feet in the clouds

Knowing twenty minutes from now, I'll be

Somewhere over Laredo

Dreaming about those rodeo nights

Laid there on the banks of the Rio

New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine

Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers

Born to get gone from the get-go

But you're on my mind every time I'm chasing this neon rainbow

Somewhere over Laredo

I'm flying high on a 737

Yeah, boy, I'm eye level with these stars

You think I'd be five miles closer to heaven

But I reckon heaven's down there where you are

Do you stop and stare at the Texas sky

Up in the air, and wonder if I'm

Somewhere over Laredo?

Dreaming about those rodeo nights

Laid there on the banks of the Rio

New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine

Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers

Born to get gone from the get-go

But you're on my mind every time I'm chasing this neon rainbow

Somewhere over Laredo

Where the blackbirds fly

Once in a lullaby

For a second, I'm still yours

And you're still mine

Somewhere over Laredo

Dreaming about those rodeo nights

Laid there on the banks of the Rio

New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine

Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers

Born to get gone from the get-go

But you're on my mind every time I'm chasing this neon rainbow

Somewhere over Laredo

Somewhere over Laredo

Somewhere over Laredo
