Bonnie Raitt - Sweet And Shiny Eyes lyrics

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

<chorus>

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

<again>
