The Wheels Of Laredo Lyrics - Tanya Tucker

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 a White-crowned Sparrow 

Well I would float upon the southern skies of blue 

But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo 

A-wishin' I was rollin' back to you
