Oh Laredo
Just take her by the heart
Make her think about the moonlit walks
Oh, but please don't let her go
Take her by the heart
So when she gets to the city limit sign
At the old town square when she drives down there
Just take her by the heart
You're my only hope
Keep the nights by the candlelight
'Cause that's as far as she needs to get
Oh Laredo, you're my only hope
'Cause you've always been the one
'Cause those are nights of passion
'Cause now you know she's leaving me
And oh, but please don't let her go
And let the wheels turn slow
Oh Laredo, don't let her go
'Cause that's a day she said she could never forget
Oh Laredo, you're my only hope
Oh, but please don't let her go
With her feet hanging off the cane creek bridge
So turn on your charm and let it shine
So get her back to the day we met
And bring to mind the first kiss we shared
And let the wheels turn slow
And the long, long talks by the waters edge
Oh Laredo
That I know will bring her home
Who could make her stay around
Don't let her go
Don't let me down
So get her back to the day we met
And let the wheels turn slow
'Cause that's as far as she needs to get
So get her back to the day we met
Oh Laredo, don't let her go
'Cause that's as far as she needs to get
Oh Laredo
As an ace in the hole
And I need your help to make her see
Oh Laredo, you're my only hope
Yeah, it's good to know you're on my side
Oh Laredo, don't let her go
