Lainey Wilson has a beautiful new song out now. It is called “Somewhere Over Laredo” and it tells a heartfelt story. She got the idea while looking out airplane windows between her shows. The song mixes dreaming with remembering a lost love from her past and it feels both happy and a little sad at the same time.

The lyrics describe a flight over Texas, thinking about rodeo nights and a special person left behind. It uses the classic melody of “Over the Rainbow” in a fresh country way. She sings about being “lone star-crossed lovers,” perfect for each other but always meant to leave. It is about chasing dreams while holding onto memories.
