Dan King KBMG: Previews
Laredo
The first finished recording of new band The Bandit Kings!
Laredo was written in 2007 after Dan confesses he was into Tex-Mex music after a visit to Texas and Southern California and watching Sam Peckinpah and other style westerns for a spell. The idea of border towns have been a fascination with Dan for some time, one of his favorite movies being the border town film noir "Touch Of Evil". King says "Laredo also has one of the most musical sounding names when you think about it."
Back in Laredo my lady stays
fumbling around on the west side
the rio way
seven flags flown high
and the world touched the sky
with no goodbyes
baby I'm goin, goin back
Laredo
Back in Laredo hot summer nights
my lips were dry so I pulled on a bottle from my side
stars came out to play, I walked along that bridge come mexico way
baby I'm goin, goin back
Laredo
Back in Laredo I'm just night walking by the corner cafes
I was watching a street boy pick his fights along the way
I brushed you from behind, you held by hand and sighed
I don't mind
baby I'm goin, goin back
Laredo
