Laredo Rose Songtext
von Texas Tornados

Laredo rose
Your garden has a scent of cheep perfume
The sun is a stranger to you
How′s a rose suppose to bloom?

Laredo rose
A rose that hangs from your bedpost
A man you just met gets out
Stumbles puttin' on his clothes

As he walks away
You watch candlelight play on a photograph
A husband and a son and a daughter
You bought her a dress today, to send to Monterrey


Laredo rose
Your garden has a scent of cheep perfume
The sun is a stranger to you
How′s a rose suppose to bloom?

Couple bills on the dresser
Father confessin' knows the wages of sin
Many times they've been paid
As sure as night follows day, they′ll be payin′ again
'Til Heaven knows when

And Heaven knows
Our Lady looks down from adobe walls
Uneven footsteps grow fainter
As they echo down the hall

Laredo rose
Your garden has a scent of cheep perfume
The sun is a stranger to you
How′s a rose suppose to bloom?

The sun is a stranger to you
How's a rose suppose to bloom?
