Laredo
Cagle Chris Lyrics

You've always been a friend of mine
You've always been someone I can trust and rely on

And that's the way we'll be, 'til the day I die
Our friendship will last forever, until I die

Yeah, it's good to know you're on my side
I'm glad to have you as an ally in this situation

'Cause now you know she's leavin' me
I want you to be aware that my significant other is leaving me

And I need your help to make her see
I require your assistance to persuade her to stay

So turn on your charm and let it shine
Please use your charisma to convince her to stay with me

'Cause you've always been the one who could make her stay around
In the past, you have been successful in keeping her from leaving

So when she gets to the city limits sign
When she's planning to leave town

Don't let me down
Please don't disappoint me by failing to convince her to stay

Make her think 'bout the moonlit walks
Remind her of the romantic walks we took under the moonlight

And the long long talks by the waters edge
Bring up the deep conversations we had while sitting by the water

With her feet hangin' off the Canyon Creek Bridge
Recall the time we spent sitting on the bridge with our feet dangling over the edge

And bring to mind the first kiss we shared
Reminisce about the first time we kissed

At the Old Town Square when she drives down there
When she drives through the Old Town Square

'Cause that's the day she said she could never forget
That's the day she claimed to always remember

And keep the nights by the candlelight
Remember the nights we spent together by the light of the candles

As an ace in the hole
Keep that as a backup strategy

'Cause those are nights of passion
Because those are moments of intense emotion

That I know will bring her home
I'm confident that those memories will make her come back to me

Oh-whoa Laredo
Addressing the city of Laredo directly, in a pleading manner

Don't let her go
Don't allow her to leave me

Just take her by the heart
Help her feel the emotions she once had for me in her heart

And let the wheels turn slow
Take it slow and steady, don't rush her

You're my only hope
I'm counting on you solely to keep her from leaving me

So get her back to the day we met
Help her remember the day we first met

'Cause that's as far as she needs to get
That's all it takes for her to decide to stay with me

Oh, but please don't let her go
A plea to Laredo to not let her leave me

Whoa-oh Laredo
Reiterating the city's name again

Don't let her go!
Urging Laredo to not let her leave

You're my only hope!
Stressing that Laredo represents the last hope for keeping her with me

Oh Laredo!
An emotional appeal to Laredo to help me
