Loco In Laredo
words and music by Paul Wilson & David Beckhom

I've always been a cowboy,
Rode the trails from town to town.
Chased woman... even caught a few.
Towed the line tried not to cross it,
Keep my cool and not lose it,
But it happened, a time or two.

I was dangerous in Dallas,
Got loose down in El Paso.
Barely conscious in San Antone last June.
The mistake down by the border
When I was just to drunk to see,
Got all of Texas after me.

Chorus)
I went loco in Laredo on a hot Saturday night,
With a pistol in my pocket, and a belly full of fight.
Didn't mean to pull the trigger,
but that stranger forced my hand.
I went loco in Laredo and ain't nobody...
Gonna give a damn.

I got all of Texas after me,
and the night is wearin' long.
The Rio Grande's in front of me,
And the moon's shinin' to strong.
I hear hoofbeat behind me,
Sounds like my heart pounding in my chest,
Ya go loca in Laredo be ready to take on Texas' best.

Chorus)
I went loco in Laredo on a hot Saturday night,
With a pistol in my pocket and a belly full of fight.
Didn't mean to pull the trigger,
But that stranger forced my hand.
I went loco in Laredo and ain't nobody...
Gonna give a damn.

Bridge
I could run across the river, and never look behind.
Would anybody miss, me would anybody cry?
Or I could turn and face Texas and make my final stand.
Cause I went loca in Laredo and ain't nobody gonna give a damn.

Chours
I went loco in laredo on a hot Saturday night.
With a pistol in my pocket and a belly full of fight.
I didn't mean to pull the trigger,
But that stranger forced my hand.
I went loco in Laredo and ain't nobody...
Gonna give a damn.
Tag
I went loco in Laredo and ain't nobody...
gonna give a damn.
