Verse1

On a midnight train to laredo
Four aces stepped aboard
Gonna find a laredo rose
Find out who was she chose

She is in love with a bearded sanger
He come from texas way,
Said his name was willy
And I don't mean say hay.

Verse2

One had an accordion in his left
A cold beer in his right
One was a hippy,
Completely out of sight

One was a border sanger,
From san benito they say
One had a pony tale,
They shuffled along that day

Chorus

Four aces going nowhere
Riding gently toward the sun
Four aces going nowhere
Never meant to hurt no one

Verse3

Willie sought but he could not find her
Cause zimmys was in town
He's drinken at the kantina
He ordered up another round
His vato went down for his pistola
I thought we were dead,
But as luck would have it, enter one grateful fred

Chorus

Four aces going nowhere
Riding gently toward the sun
Four aces going nowhere
Never meant to hurt no one

Verse 4

The tale of the texas story
Is read quite by well by all
This border queen had something
That made mese hombres fall

Like strings of a sweet corrido
The story is the same
She just won a bundle
On the texas lotto fame

Chorus

Four aces going nowhere
Riding gently toward the sun
Four aces going nowhere
Never meant to hurt no one
