Tanya Tucker - The Wheels of Laredo lyrics

[Tanya Tucker - The Wheels of Laredo lyrics]

On a winter night in Webb County, Texas
On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
I was watchin' the jungle fires a-burnin'
Across the border of a not-so-distant land
And the echoes of the church
Bells that were swingin'
Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square
There was a girl down there on
The south side of the river
She had feathers tied into
Her long black hair

And if I was I was white-crowned sparrow
Well, I would float upon the
Southern skies of blue
But, I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you

I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
I painted up my eyes and wore my beads
There was a band playin' "To


God Be the Glory"
There were people dancin' all
Around the street there were barrels on the
Sidewalk that were burnin'
And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands
And I swear
I heard those church bells ringin'
'Cross the border of a not-so-distant land

Singing, if I was white-crowned sparrow
Well, I would float upon the
Southern skies of blue
But, I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
And if I was I was white-crowned sparrow
Well, I would float upon the
Southern skies of blue
But, I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you

I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
Wish I was rollin' back, back to you
Wish I was rollin' back to you
Wish I was rollin' back to you
