Christmas in Laredo

Big city life has really got me down, It's snowing on the other side of town

I wish the holidays would come around, And send me back to Laredo

I wish that I can go where I grew up, Abuelitas in a coffee cup

We'd drive our pickups 'til we all got stuck, Another Christmas in Laredo

Menudo boiling in an iron pot, We're stealing seconds hope we don't get caught

Tortillas roasting and the carne's hot, Another Christmas in Laredo

Hot tamales in the afternoon, All our friends are gonna be here soon

With some tequila and a beer or two, Another Christmas in Laredo

Paesano traffic out on 35, But I'm here sleeping in a hunting blind

I've got Chalu Burger on my mind, Because I'm down in Laredo

The ranch gets cold, but it won't ever snow, Mesquite is burning with an orange glow

Lake Casa Blanca is the place to go, When you're down in Laredo

I wake up late, and I can't find my shoes, Momma's listening to Pro 8 news

It's all I need to shake these homesick blues, Another Christmas in Laredo

The movie theaters are always near, We don't get any decent movies here

But I can't wait for this same time next year, Another Christmas in Laredo

Okay, I guess I'll take another beer. Because Christmas in Laredo
