Your sweet and shiny eyes   Are like the stars above laredo   Like meat and potatoes   To me      In my sweet dreams we are   In a bar   And it's my birthday   Drinking salty marguaritas with fernando         Young and wild   We drove 900 miles of texas highway   To the mexican border   As the day was comin' on      We crossed the rio grande river   And we swore we'd have things our way   When we happened to walk in to nuevo leon         Your sweet and shiny eyes   Are like the stars above laredo   Like meat and potatoes   To me      In my sweet dreams we are   In a bar   And it's my birthday   And we're having our picture taken   With fernando            Home plate 1975
