you’ve always been a friend of mine
that’s the way we’ll be ’til the day i die
yeah it’s good to know you’re on my side
’cause now you know she’s leavin’ me
and i need your help to make her see
so turn on your charm and let it shine
pre
’cause you’ve always been the one
who could make her stay around
so when she gets to the city limits 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
whoa 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
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
pre
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
whoa 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 yeah
whoa laredo don’t let her go
just take her by the heart
and let the wheels turn slow
whoa 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
whoa laredo don’t let her go
whoa laredo you’re my only hope
whoa laredo whoa laredo
