Somewhere Outside Laredo
------------------------

I got 5 bucks in my pocket
my clothes all in a bag
I'm by the road outside of Laredo
guitar on my back

I couldn't even tell you
where I was yesterday
days all run together
the towns all look the same

solo

A trucker just went by I think he's slowing down
I sure hope he stops and takes me into town
I'm so tired of walking I been going all day
I just want a room where I can lay down

CHORUS
Lookin back on all the roads I crossed
the folks I met and the games I lost
I never thought I'd make it this long
But People smile and fill my hat when I sing my songs

solo

He's a nice ol guy with tired blue eyes
He reached out and grabbed my hand and said climb on in
Where are you headed son and what's your name
Your awful young to be on your own, oh you can call me Jim

solo

I was just like you as a smile crossed his face
Always on the go to see the next place
But you know that road gets old and so will you
You need someone to be there waitin just for you

CHORUS
Lookin back on all the roads I crossed
the folks I met and the games I lost
I never thought I'd make it this long
But People smile and fill my hat when I sing my songs
