[Verse 1]

Many years ago, in the town of Laredo

At an old rodeo

A young vaquero from Colorado

Met a girl from Mexico

She was the daughter of a humble ranchero

And he couldn't keep his eyes off of her

He didn't know much Spanish, just enough to tip his hat

And lead her to the floor

[Chorus]

And they danced

Under the light of a Texas moon

Luna llena, sin palabras they moved

In his arms, she found somethin' true

As they were speaking with their eyes

Swaying to the rhythm of

A beautiful, unspoken touch

Thеy let go

Love is in Laredo

In thе mornin', he will ride

Saddle up and say, "Goodbye"

But they know

Love is in Laredo-ooh

[Verse 2]

Many suns have set over the horizon

Since she last saw his silhouette

She tried to push his love out of her mind

Sometimes a heart won't forget

He spent the summer moving cattle in the Rockies

Working his hands to the bone

He saved every penny 'til he had just enough to

Make his way back to her door

[Chorus]

And they danced

Under the light of a Texas moon

Luna llena, sin palabras they moved

In his arms, she found somethin' true

As they were speaking with their eyes

Swaying to the rhythm of

A beautiful, unspoken touch

They let go

Love is in Laredo

In the morning, he will ride

Saddle up and say, "Goodbye"

But they know

Love is in Laredo-ooh

[Bridge]

Thirty years later, their granddaughter saddles up

For her first rodeo

They tell her the story of when a young vaquero

Met a girl from Mexico

[Chorus]

And how they danced

Under the light of a Texas moon

Luna llena, sin palabras they move

In his arms, she found somethin' true

As they were speaking with their eyes

Swaying to the rhythm of

A beautiful, unspoken touch

They let go

Love is in Laredo

He promises to never go

Eres mi amor, mi corazón

Forever, pa' siempre

My love is in Laredo-ooh
