I was running outta time
Inspiration hard to find across the Rio Grande
Take me to your city lights
Out by the riverside
I know you understand
Play me something downtempo
Low-key and rock steady
Body hittin' like Kimbo
Fallin' for you like confetti
More whiskey and ginger
Love, I'm just a beginner
What if I stayed in Laredo
Just one more night, just one more night
I know a girl with a diamond crown
Grew up in a border town
Took me to an empty dive
Such a pretty silhouette
Show me how to two-step
She brings me back to life
Play me something downtempo
Low-key and rock steady
Body hittin' like Kimbo
Fallin' for you like confetti
More whiskey and ginger
Love, I'm just a beginner
What if I stayed in Laredo
Just one more night, just one more night
Oh-oh
Ooh
Na, na, na, na
Oh yeah
Play me something downtempo
Low-key and rock steady
Body hittin' like Kimbo
Fallin' for you like confetti
More whiskey and ginger
Love, I'm just a beginner
What if I stayed in Laredo
Just one more night, just one more night
Play me something downtempo
Low-key and rock steady
Inspiration hard to find across the Rio Grande
Take me to your city lights

He totally gots it.
Love the accents from the Definitely Not a Digital Piano throughout this piece!
It feels like late 70s for sure. I love this return to relatively dry mixes.
I hope we get to hear this a lot!! Hints of 70's Robert Palmer, 80's Seal. Really nice!!

This song feels like it's from another era, but I can't for the life of me decide which one?

Early Robert Palmer feel to me. Like it!
Instant 8.
