The Three of You

Oh how I loved you
Through the doors and the broken jaws
Through the kidnappings and broken laws
Oh how I loved you
I loved it all

Through letting me up on the tight rope
And leaving me alone without a grope
And laughing when I had no hope
Oh how I loved you
Through the fist in the door

And singing songs I never heard
To others that loved the words
Sing it again and again and again
I has no reference
Never heard the words
No reference
No Song
No Song
Again and Again
It never ends

Kick it in
The Streets of Laredo
Curious when you sang it
The only two
You cared about hearing it....was....
You and two
You and two
I know all about
All About You
And the Two


The Three Of You

That's it.
Remember the Fist?
The First Fist?
You don’t remember it
You go to Church
Forget all of it?
Oh, that's right...the Bible Belt
It didn't feel so good when it swelt.
Believe me.....one of the only feelings I felt.

Wrap yourself in the deep sunshine
So maybe it’s a fitting time
Spent so much time with your ladies
And gave them all them time they needed.
You could teach them about life and love
And the possibilities

A better tomorrow
But there you are
On the streets
Of Laredo

I wish I knew the words
But I never heard them
Not sung to me
Got the jest of it though
On the Streets
Of Laredo
