Caught me a red-eye flight
out of Houston
Found me a window seat
with a view
Headed out west for
South California
One Titos 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
Knowin' twenty minutes
from now
I'll be somewhere over Laredo
Dreamin' 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
Lonestar-crossed lovers
Born to get gone
from the get-go
But you're on my mind
every time I'm
chasin' this neon rainbow
Somewhere over Laredo
I'm flyin' 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
Dreamin' 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
Lonestar-crossed lovers
Born to get gone
from the get-go
But you're on my mind
every time I'm
chasin' 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
Dreamin' 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
Lonestar-crossed lovers
Born to get gone
from the get-go
But you're on my mind
every time I'm
chasin' this neon rainbow
Somewhere over Laredo
Oo oo
Somewhere over Laredo
Somewhere over Laredo
