4 Aces - Texas Tornados

On a midnight train to Laredo

Four aces stepped aboard

Gonna find Laredo Rose

And find out who she chose

She’s in love with a bearded singer

Come from Texas way

Said his name was Willie

And I don’t mean «Say Hey»

One had an accordion in his left

A cold beer in his right

One was a hippie

Completely out of sight

One was a border singer

From San Benito they say

One had a pony tail

They shuffled in alone that day

Four aces goin' nowhere

Ridin' gently toward the sun

Four aces goin' nowhere

Never meant to hurt no one

Willie sought but he could not find her

'Cause Zimmy was in town

He’s drinkin' at the cantina

He ordered up another round

This vato went down for his pistola

We all thought we were dead

But as luck would have it

Entered one grateful Fred

Four aces goin' nowhere

Ridin' gently toward the sun

Four aces goin' nowhere

Never meant to hurt no one

Crazy

Tale of the Texas story

Is read quite well by all

This border queen had somethin'

That made these hombres fall

Like strings of a sweet corrido

The story is the same

She just won a bundle

On the Texas Lotto game

Four aces goin' nowhere

Ridin' gently toward the sun

Four aces goin' nowhere

Never meant to hurt no one
