Description

✈️When reality is a plastic cup with ice, a cramped seat at the porthole and twenty minutes before boarding, your head stubbornly lives somewhere not at all here. Where the desert glows, where the river whispers under the moon, where the silver buckle on jeans shines in the dark a little brighter than the stars.

Well, yes, it didn’t work out. Well, yes, there was no need to start at all. But who will stop all this, if even at an altitude of thirty thousand feet the heart still lies on the shore of Rio, next to the one who knew how to hug as if there was no promise of tomorrow.

So we fly - to the west, into the sky, away from ourselves, but a little closer to those memories that smell of dust, leather and one big mistake, which we still feel a little sorry for.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Caught me a red eye flight out of Houston
Found me a window seat with a view
Headed out west for South California
One Tito’s in, I’m thinking ’bout you
In that little border town
Where the desert glows gold when the sun goes down
My head’s thirty thousand feet in the clouds
Knowing twenty minutes from now
I’ll be
Somewhere over Laredo
Dreaming about those rodeo nights
Laid there on the banks of the Rio
New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine
Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers
Born to get gone from the get-go
But you’re on my mind every time I’m chasing this neon rainbow
Somewhere over Laredo
I’m flying high on this 737
Yeah, boy I’m eye level with these stars
You think I’d be five miles closer to heaven
But I reckon heaven’s down there where you are
Do you stop and stare at the Texas sky
Up in the air and wonder if I’m
Somewhere over Laredo
Dreaming about those rodeo nights
Laid there on the banks of the Rio
New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine
Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers
Born to get gone from the get-go
But you’re on my mind every time I’m chasing this neon rainbow
Somewhere over Laredo
Where the blackbirds fly
Once in a lullaby
For a second I’m still yours
And you’re still mine
Somewhere over Laredo
Dreaming about those rodeo nights
Laid there on the banks of the Rio
New silver buckle on your jeans next to mine
Couple wrong for each other, lone star-crossed lovers
Born to get gone from the get-go
But you’re on my mind every time I’m chasing this neon rainbow
Somewhere over Laredo
Somewhere over Laredo
Somewhere over Laredo
