Laredo Lyrics by Angie K
Many years ago in the town of Laredo
At an old rodeo
A young vaquero from Colorado
Met a girl from Mexico
She was the daughter of a humble ranchero
And he couldn’t keep his eyes off of her
He didn’t know much Spanish
Just enough to tip his hat and lead her to the floor
And they danced under the light of a Texas moon
Luna llena, sin palabras they move
In his arms she found something true
As they were speaking with their eyes
Swinging to the rhythm of a beautiful unspoken touch
They let go
Love is in Laredo
In the morning, he will ride
Saddle up and say goodbye, but they know
Love is in Laredo
Many suns have set over the horizon
Since she last saw his silhouette
She tried to push his love out of her mind
Sometimes a heart won’t forget
He spent the summer moving cattle in the Rockies
Working his hands to the bone
He saved every penny
Till he had just enough to make his way back to her door
And they danced under the light of a Texas moon
Luna llena, sin palabras they move
In his arms she found something true
As they were speaking with their eyes
Swinging to the rhythm of a beautiful unspoken touch
They let go
Love is in Laredo
In the morning he will ride
Saddle up and say goodbye, but they know
Love is in Laredo
Thirty years later
Their granddaughter saddles up for her first rodeo
They tell her the story of when a young vaquero
Met a girl from Mexico
And how they danced under the light of a Texas moon
Luna llena, sin palabras they move
In his arms she found something true
As they were speaking with their eyes
Swinging to the rhythm of a beautiful unspoken touch
They let go
Love is in Laredo
He promises to never go
Eres mi amor, mi corazón
Forever, pa’ siempre
My love is in Laredo
