wheels of laredo - the highwomen lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
on a winter night in webb county, texas
on the north bank of the mighty rio grande
i was watching the jungle fires a-burnin’
across the border of a not-so-distant land

and the echoes of the church bells that were swingin’
could be heard from guadalupe market square
there was a girl down there in the south side of the river
she had feathers tied into her long black hair

[chorus]
and if i was i was white-crowned sparrow
well i would float upon the southern skies of blue
but i’m stuck inside the wheels of laredo
wishing i was rolling back to you

[verse 2]
i put on my favorite jacket for jamboozie
i painted up my eyes and wore my beads
there was a band playing “to god be the glory”
there were people dancing all around the street

there were barrels on the sidewalk that were burning
and a fortune-teller readin’ people’s hands
and i swear‚ i heard those church bells ringing
‘cross the border of a not-so-distant land

[chorus]
singing‚ if i was white-crowned sparrow
well i would float upon the southern skies of blue
but i’m stuck inside the wheels of laredo
wishing i was rolling back to you

[chorus]
if i was white-crowned sparrow
well i would float upon the southern skies of blue
but i’m stuck inside the wheels of laredo
wishing i was rolling back to you

[outro]
i’m stuck inside the wheels of laredo
wishing i was rolling back to you
wish i was rolling back‚ back to you
wish i was rolling back to you
wish i was rolling back to you
