Laredo Tornado

(album: Eldorado - 1974)

Summer days, where did you go?
You've made me feel so bad
Clouds fill the sky, gone is the dream
My happy hunting ground
Wild buffalo played
And I never saw a rainy day
But it looks like summer days
Ain't coming back

March, April, May, June and July, ah
You took me for a fool
Big Chief, he lie, cold wind blows cruel, ah
So cold to make you die
Mountain breeze, ocean bay
And I never saw a rainy day
But it looks like them summer days
Ain't coming back

Laredo tornado
Adios, amigos

What can you do
When your dream world is gone
And your friends and lovers, too?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no

West Winter Street, under the ground
The air that makes you choke
Towers of concrete, hellish go-round
Were there when I awoke
City sky pouring down with rain
That can never hope to ease the pain
And it looks like summer days
Ain't coming back

Laredo tornado
Adios, amigos
Laredo tornado
Adios, amigos
