4 Aces Lyrics - The Texas Tornados

On a midnight train to Laredo 

Four aces stepped aboard 

Gonna find a Laredo rose 

Find out who was she chose 

She is in love with a bearded sanger 

He come from Texas way 

Said his name was Willy 

And I don't mean say hay 

One had an accordion in his left 

A cold beer in his right 

One was a hippy 

Completely out of sight 

One was a border sanger 

From San Benito they say 

One had a pony tale 

They shuffled along that day 

4 aces going nowhere 

Riding gently toward the sun 

Four aces going nowhere 

Never meant to hurt no one 

Willie sought but he could not find her 

'Cause Zimmys was in town 

He's drinken at the kantina 

He ordered up another round 

His vato went down for his pistola 

I thought we were dead 

But as luck would have it 

Enter one grateful Fred 

4 aces going nowhere 

Riding gently toward the sun 

Four aces going nowhere 

Never meant to hurt no one 

The tale of the Texas story 

Is read quite by well by all 

This border queen had something 

That made meses hombres fall 

Like strings of a sweet corridor 

The story is the same 

She just won a bundle 

On the Texas lotto fame 

4 aces going nowhere 

Riding gently toward the sun 

Four aces going nowhere 

Never meant to hurt no one
