| You’ve always been a friend of mine
|
| And that’s the way we’ll be 'til the day I die
|
| It’s good to know you’re on my side
|
| 'Cause now you know she’s leaving me And I need your help to make her see
|
| So turn on your charm and let it shine
|
| 'Cause you’ve always been the one
|
| Who could make her stay around
|
| So when she gets to the city limit sign
|
| Don’t let me down
|
| Oh Laredo, don’t let her go Just take by the heart
|
| And let the wheels turn slow
|
| Oh Laredo, you’re my only hope
|
| So get her back to the day we met
|
| 'Cause that’s as far as she needs to get
|
| But please don’t let her go Oh Laredo
|
| Make her think about the moonlit walks
|
| And the long, long talks by the waters edge
|
| With her feet hanging off the Cane Creek Bridge
|
| And bring to mind the first kiss we shared
|
| At the old town square when she drives down there
|
| 'Cause that’s a day she said she could never forget
|
| Keep the nights by the candlelight
|
| As an ace in the hole
|
| 'Cause those are nights of passion
|
| That I know will bring her home
|
| Oh Laredo, don’t let her go Just take by the heart
|
| And let the wheels turn slow
|
| Oh Laredo, you’re my only hope
|
| So get her back to the day we met
|
| 'Cause that’s as far as she needs to get
|
| But please don’t let her go Oh Laredo
|
| Oh Laredo, don’t let her go Just take by the heart
|
| And let the wheels turn slow
|
| Oh Laredo, you’re my only hope
|
| So get her back to the day we met
|
| 'Cause that’s as far as she needs to get
|
| But please don’t let her go Oh Laredo |
