Laredo Rose - Texas Tornados

Laredo Rose - Texas Tornados Lyrics

Laredo Rose
Your garden has a scent cheap perfume
The sun is a stranger to you
How's a rose suppose to bloom?

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

As he walks away
You watch candlelight playin'
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 cheap 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 cheap 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?
