[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
