Joe Ely - Ranches and Rivers
Letter to Laredo

Verse 1
                   Em                       C
In the cool of the evening, she calls me to dance
                G                         D
My back's about broken, from choppin' the plants
              Em                        C
My soul is so thirsty, I can't sleep at night
                G                     D
She walks in my dreams and brings me delight

Verse 2
I was born to the workers, to toil and to strife
My father before me, he worked all his life
He took nothing for granted, he said son never bend
This heart that's been broken, only her love can mend

Chorus
               G                     C 
Some men could give you, ranches and rivers
               G                            D7
With fences of barbed wire, to keep out the cold
              G                     C    
But me, I got nothin', no titles to nothin'
                  G    D7                   G
Just a love and a fire, more precious than gold


Bridge
F C G G G G G x2
D7
Your daddy works me in the ground
D7
He knows something's goin' down
D7                                      G
Would you pack your things and run with me?

Verse 3
Tomorrow at sunrise, with the dew on the cotton
They cut loose the watchdogs, when they see that we're gone
The smile of my sweet one, asleep on the car seat
Ten miles to the border, where we will be free

Chorus

F  C  G
