YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN
A FRIEND OF MINE AND
THAT'S THE WAY WE'LL BE
TILL THE DAY I DIE
YEAH IT'S GOOD TO KNOW
YOU'RE ON MY SIDE
'CAUSE NOW YA KNOW
SHE'S LEAVIN' ME
AND I NEED YOUR HELP
TO MAKE HER SEE
MM HMM MM
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 HER
BY THE HEART
AND LET THE WHEELS
TURN SLOW
HO HO 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
OH BUT PLEASE
DON'T LET HER GO
OH LAREDO
MAKE HER THINK ABOUT
THE MOONLIT WALKS AND
THE LONG LONG TALKS
BY THE WATER'S EDGE
WITH HER FEET
HANGIN' 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 THE DAY
SHE SAID SHE COULD
NEVER FORGET
AND 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 HER
BY THE HEART
AND LET THE WHEELS
TURN SLOW
HO HO 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
OH BUT PLEASE
DON'T LET HER GO
WOH LAREDO
WOH HO LAREDO
DON'T LET HER GO
TAKE HER
BY THE HEART
AND LET THE WHEELS
TURN SLOW
WOH HO 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
OH BUT PLEASE
DON'T LET HER GO
OH LAREDO

YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE
WOH LAREDO
