[00:09.79]On a winter night in Webb County, Texas
[00:15.96]On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
[00:22.10]I was watchin' the jungle fires a-burnin'
[00:27.96]Across the border of a not-so-distant land
[00:34.55]And the echoes of the church bells that were swingin'
[00:40.32]Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square
[00:46.76]There was a girl down there on the south side of the river
[00:52.76]She had feathers tied into her long black hair
[00:56.71]
[00:59.50]And if I was I was white-crowned sparrow
[01:04.89]Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue
[01:11.43]But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
[01:17.99]Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
[01:24.47]
[01:26.86]I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
[01:33.46]I painted up my eyes and wore my beads
[01:39.22]There was a band playin' "To God Be the Glory"
[01:45.45]There were people dancin' all around the street
[01:51.50]There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burnin'
[01:58.07]And a fortune-teller readin' people's hands
[02:03.86]And I swear, I heard those church bells ringin'
[02:10.11]'Cross the border of a not-so-distant land
[02:15.51]
[02:16.67]Singing, if I was white-crowned sparrow
[02:22.17]Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue
[02:29.25]But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
[02:35.51]Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
[02:42.20]And if I was I was white-crowned sparrow
[02:47.49]Well, I would float upon the southern skies of blue
[02:54.26]But I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
[03:01.00]Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
[03:03.94]
[03:06.99]I'm stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
[03:13.33]Wishin' I was rollin' back to you
[03:21.41]Wish I was rollin' back, back to you
[03:27.66]Wish I was rollin' back to you
[03:33.95]Wish I was rollin' back to you
