 	 C 	       Cm7
The lights of Laredo dance on the water
 	 F 	  	      C
And shine in a young man’s eyes.
      C
He stands on the border
     Cm7      Em   F
And dreams of paradise.
 	 C 	  	     Cm7
He’s heard crazy stories of how people live
   F 	     Cm7      Dm
Over in the promise land.
     C 	       Cm7 	   F     C
He heard they eat three meals a day
Am7 	  	 G 	 C
Just across the Rio Grande.

He’s got a wife name Maria, a baby named Rose.
And another one to feed on the way.
Two willing hands
That couldn’t find work today.

He stares at the river and curses the future
That he can’t understand.
He knows the child would have a chance
Just across the Rio Grande.

Chorus

      C    G     C
It’s on - ly a river
 	 F 	  	 C
That’s not so deep or wide.
   C  	         	    Am7
A boy can throw a stone across
     F 	  	       G
And reach the other side.
      C 	        G       C
It’s just some muddy water
   F 	  	       Dm
Cutting through the land,
      C 	       Cm7      F 	  C
But a man can make a dream come true
(Sometimes it seems like God must live)

Am7 	  	 G 	 C
Just across the Rio Grande.

The lights of Laredo dance on the water
And shine in a young man’s eyes.
He stands on the border
And dreams of paradise.

He’s heard crazy stories of how good life is
Over in the promise land.
And sometimes it seems like God must live
Just across the Rio Grande.
