Laredo Slim by Kyra Gordon

Laredo Slim

Sitting in your living room
Sharing a drink and a joint with you
Watching your grandkids tear up the room
They don’t know yet about the life you’ve live through

How you’ve loved some great women and fathered some too
Made hay in Austin with the Conqueroo
With Roky and Tracy and Janis, it’s true
Your harmonica was ready, you knew what to do

Do you dream of Laredo?
When you fall asleep
The city under seven flags
When you were a boy playing with toys
Dreaming of packing your bags

You seen a lot of life through your eyes
Made all this music that feels so alive
Things they get harder, like getting around
Old cowboys don’t die, one day they town

Life is long
Carrying on is for learners and lovers like you
Songs are as good as who you share them with
It’s the love that you give, that’s the truth

Do you dream of Laredo?
When you fall asleep
The city under seven flags
When you were a boy playing with toys
Dreaming of packing your bags
We’re all dreaming of packing, dreaming of packing our bags
