Lyrics 4 Aces - Texas Tornados

4 Aces

On a midnight train to Laredo
Four aces stepped aboard
Gonna find Laredo Rose
And find out who she chose
She’s in love with a bearded singer
Come from Texas way
Said his name was Willie
And I don’t mean «Say Hey»
One had an accordion in his left
A cold beer in his right
One was a hippie
Completely out of sight
One was a border singer
From San Benito they say
One had a pony tail
They shuffled in alone that day
Four aces goin' nowhere
Ridin' gently toward the sun
Four aces goin' nowhere
Never meant to hurt no one
Willie sought but he could not find her
'Cause Zimmy was in town
He’s drinkin' at the cantina
He ordered up another round
This vato went down for his pistola
We all thought we were dead
But as luck would have it
Entered one grateful Fred
Four aces goin' nowhere
Ridin' gently toward the sun
Four aces goin' nowhere
Never meant to hurt no one
Crazy
Tale of the Texas story
Is read quite well by all
This border queen had somethin'
That made these hombres fall
Like strings of a sweet corrido
The story is the same
She just won a bundle
On the Texas Lotto game
Four aces goin' nowhere
Ridin' gently toward the sun
Four aces goin' nowhere
Never meant to hurt no one
