Verse 1
[D] Caught me a [Em7]red eye flight out of [D/F#]Houston
Found me a [Em]window seat with a [D]view
Headed out [Em]west for South [D/F#]California
One Tito's [Em]in, I'm thinking 'bout [G]you
In that little [D/F#]border town

Chorus
[D]Somewhere [C]over Laredo
[G]Dreaming about those [Em7]rodeo nights
[D]Laid there on the [C]banks of the Rio
[G]New silver buckle on your [Em7]jeans next to mine
Couple [D]wrong for each other, lone [Em7]star-crossed lovers
[D/F#]Born to get gone from the [G]get-go

[G]New silver buckle on your [Em7]jeans next to mine
Couple [D]wrong for each other, lone [Em7]star-crossed lovers

[C] Where the blackbirds [G]fly
[Em7]Once in a [D]lullaby[C]
For a second, [G]I'm still yours
And [Em7]you're still mine
