  • 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 thinkin' '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

    Ooh, somewhere over Laredo
