Lainey Wilson - Somewhere Over Laredo Lyrics



Lainey Wilson - Somewhere Over Laredo Lyrics
Official




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 a 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

Ooh, somewhere over Laredo
Somewhere over Laredo

"Somewhere Over Laredo" is a song by American country music singer Lainey Wilson. It was released as a single to country radio impacting on May 27, 2025, from the upcoming deluxe re-issue of her fifth studio album, Whirlwind.

Wilson co-wrote "Somewhere Over Laredo" with Andy Albert, Trannie Anderson, and Dallas Wilson. Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg also received writing credits as the song interpolates the melody of Over the Rainbow, which was originally written for the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz, and performed by Judy Garland. The title directly references Laredo, Texas and also includes a lyrical nod in the chorus to "Over the Rainbow" with a reference to chasing a "neon rainbow". Wilson said the song was influenced by her downtime flying between shows and "looking out the window, talking to God, dreaming, or even reminiscing".

"Somewhere Over Laredo" was the most-added song at country radio upon release, pulling in 129 first-week stations, and debuted at number 21 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated June 7, 2025.
