d. c. hill - locked up in laredo lyrics

locked up in laredo
(intro — spoken, slight pause)
well i have been… (slight pause) locked up in laredoooooo
and i ain’t got nowhere else to go

verse 1
it’s just me and this pretty señorita
but she’s carved here on the wall
been through some bad times, boy i ain’t hidin’ it
sometimes i break down and i start to bawl
i press my forehead to the cold iron railin’
watch that texas sunshine fall
lord i miss your laugh, girl, and your sunday dress
and the sound of your steps down our hall

chorus
’cause i’m locked up in laredo, and i ain’t got nowhere to go
just mе and that señorita painted on the wall
been through somе bad times and sometimes i start to cry
when i look through these bars at that texas sunshine

verse 2
i know you’re all alone in san antone
i’m callin’ you on this raggedy old jail phone
i swore that this would be the last time
but the federales said they were mi amigo
i could make it through with my precious cargo
oh god, baby, i guess they just lied
chorus
yeah, i’m locked up in laredo, and i ain’t got nowhere to go
just me and that señorita carved on the wall
been through some bad times and sometimes i start to cry
when i look through these bars at that texas sunshine

bridge (spoken then sung)
don’t worry, sweetie, i whisper through the wire
keep the porch light on and don’t lose the fire
i know i done wrong, i been a ramblin’ soul
but i’m beggin’ for a chance to come back home

chorus (full, with harmony)
locked up in laredo, and i ain’t got nowhere to go
it’s just me and this pretty señorita on my wall
been through some hard nights and sometimes i start to cry
watchin’ through these bars at that texas sunshine

well i have been, locked up in laredo
and i ain’t got no where else to go
if mercy finds me darling i will be coming home slow
until then i keep looking at that texas sunshine glow
