Wheels Of Laredo

On a winter night in Webb County, Texas
 On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
 I was watchin' the jungle fires 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
 Said if I was a White-Crowned Sparrow
 I would float upon the southern skies of blue
 But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
 Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
 Wish I was rollin'
 I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
 I painted up my eyes and wore my beads
 There was a band playin' "To God Be the Glory"
 There were people dancin' all around the streets
 There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burnin'
 And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands
 And I swear, I heard those church bells ringin'
 Across the border of a not-so-distant land
 Singin', if I was a White-Crowned Sparrow
 I would float upon the southern skies of blue
 But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
 Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
