Cover art for Laredo lyrics by Band of Horses

Wow, that 2nd part of the second verse is a nightmare to decipher!

It's definitely A KITCHEN KNIFE UP TO MY FACE (as if that nice Ben would swear!!)

Now, there's no such thing as a KIA LORENZO - there is a KIA dealership at LORENZO, TEXAS but isn't it more likely he says KEY AT LORENZO????

There's no JENNER LAKE in Texas, there is a Jenner Pond Lake in Sonoma, CA - but who knows?

Let's hope the CD has lyrics - I doubt it though!!

Lyric Correction

yeah, the second verse is so strange!

good call with 'up to my face'

as for Kia Lorenzo, and Jenner Lake, I really don't know. I'm not sure how you can put a bullet in a key per se.

the details in the second verse seem to be very Laredo-centric, and I feel like a local would fare much better at recognizing them. (or maybe not...)

I think you have the lyrics right. the Kia Lorenzo line is either he put a bullet in his kia, Lorenzo or "kia lorenzo" i like the second better also jenner lake is in ontario. btw this song rocks and i cant wait for the album to release

I'm from Laredo, Texas. Our lake is Lake Casa Blanca. I wouldn't suggest swimming in it . You'll probably come out with 20 fishing hooks stuck in you. I don't know about the Kia Lorenzo thing. Maybe it is meant to be Kia, Lorenzo. Not sure. It could be about a diffrent Laredo, and not Laredo, TX.
