Caught me a red-eye flight out of Houston
Found me a window seat with a view
Headed out west for South California
Juan Tito's in,
I'm thinking about you In that little border town
Where the desert glows gold when the sun goes down
My head's 30,000 feet in the clouds Knowing 20 minutes from now
I'll be somewhere over the radar Dreaming about those grunnier nights
Laid there on the banks of the Rio New
silver buckle on your jeans next to mine
Couple wrong for each other,
long 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 the 737 Yeah boy,
I'm high level with these stars
You'd think I'd be five miles closer to heaven
But I reckon heaven's down there where you are
De-stomp and stare at the Texas sky Up in the
air and wonder if I'm Somewhere over Laredo
Dreaming about those grunnier nights
Laid there on the banks of the Rio
New silver buckle on your jeans next
to mine Couple wrong for each other,
long 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
You're still mine Somewhere over Laredo
Dreaming about those grunnier nights
Laid there on the banks of the Rio
New silver buckle on your jeans next
to mine Couple wrong for each other,
long 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
