[Verse 1]
A
Why don't you come home and talk to me anymore
A
When you get home the first thing is you shut that door
A
Way I know is through the look in your eyes
A
Well you can’t close those curtains even if you try


[Chorus]
A
Way it goes
F#m                     E       D     A
I found the road in the dust to Laredo


[Verse 2]
A
The orchids were the worst hit from the drought
A
The rations and the water tank were almost out
A
Rain came down on the town
A                          N.C.         A
Just before everything living, it dried out

F#m

[Chorus]
A
Way it goes
F#m                     E       D      A
I found the road in the dust to Laredo
F#m                      E           D
I caught the wind of the boats of my father
F#m                 E          D        A
I found gold in the tunnels of New York


[Verse 3]
A
The whole town shut down early for the annual fair
A
The children spent their money and the farmers traded for the year
A
Sounds of the people in the summer haze
A
This old town keeps rolling as the music plays

F#m

[Chorus]
A
Way it goes
F#m                     E       D      A
I found the road in the dust to Laredo
F#m                      E           D
I caught the wind of the boats of my father
F#m                 E          D
I found gold in the tunnels of New York
C                       D                   A
I got the call from the heart of my mother
F#m    E    D    A    F#m    E    D    A
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay it goes
F#m    E    D    A
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
F#m         E           D       A
I found the road in the dust to Laredo
