Ronnie Dunn - How Far To Waco Lyrics






I pulled out of Los Angeles at two a.m.
Nothin' on the radio, mariachi band fadin' out and in
Blacktop in my headlights looks like it has no end
Only thing on my mind is gettin' back to my baby again

How far to Waco
Two hundred miles to New Mexico
Albuquerque by mornin' light
Six hours to the Texas line
Highway miles, they go by so slow
She's waitin' down the road from El Paso
How much further do I have to go
How far to Waco

Stopped at a Tuscon truck stop, Coke and a candy bar
Paid for the gas with the last of my cash, got back in the car
I can't wait to hold you, my darlin', in my arms
Goin' back to the love of that pretty girl that owns my heart

How far to Waco
Two hundred miles to New Mexico
Albuquerque by mornin' light
Six hours to the Texas line
Highway miles, they go by so slow
She's waitin' down the road from El Paso
How much further do I have to go
How far to Waco

How far to Waco
Two hundred miles to New Mexico
Albuquerque by mornin' light
Six hours to the Texas line
Highway miles, they go by so slow
She's waitin' down the road from El Paso
How much further do I have to go
How far to Waco

How much further do I have to go
How far from Waco

    Absolutely one of my favorite Ronnie Dunn songs. Have to turn it up, every time!

    Just discovered that there is a video to it, 7 years later. Opps.
    OK, the video is not the greatest, but the song remains AWESOME!

  4. D.... P....

    I think Ronnie Dunn is great

  5. G.... R....

  6. a.... h....

    If she's waiting near El Paso...why drive to freekin Waco?

  8. A.... K....

    Cool, I am from Albuquerque.
    I know route 66 well.

  9. S.... J....

    My husband was in a nursing home outside Waco about 25 miles. When I was well enough I'd visit, we'd listen to this and talk about how far Waco seemed with me here in Waco and him there. He told me I was the pretty girl who had his heart..although after 44 years I'm not a girl anymore, I loved hearing it. I buried him Monday. I'll never hear this without hearing his words. Music is such a gift.

  10. H.... L....

    Love this!!! But Ronnie Dunn could sing the phone book and be a huge hit mercy man his vocals are all that n then some!!!!!

  11. B.... ....

    love that song! <3

  12. C.... N....

    Excellence Ronnie! Country music's nose dive is because of the moron label execs. Keep pumping out the real stuff buddy!

  13. D.... H....

    I LOVE THIS!!!!

  14. M.... ....

    Took me back to summers in Roswell NM. The whole cowboy/Mexicali fusion sound. OH dancing under old xmas lights under that sky!

  15. A.... K....

    I think it's a fun song to listen to. As far as the geography comments-Hey, it's not a documentary.

  16. M.... G....

    Great tune man, you should have said f**k the punk and ran this song.m

  17. P.... R....

    One of your best....too bad the "suits" didn't like it. Great video.....

  18. J.... C....

    I had a guy drive 5000 miles on a motor cycle to see me. We should of married, but that’s another story.

    J.... C....

    What did he do, drive across the country twice?

    J.... C....

    David Moore No he drove from Anchorage Alaska to Houma La.

  19. S.... ....

    the best kind of country....alot better then this nightmare era we're in now.

  20. B.... M....

    I just love this song play it all the time when I get the chance and I'm from Australia.

  21. R.... C....

    Me: "Oh cool, a song about my home town!"
    Also Me: "None of that stuff is in or even near my home town..."

  22. R.... G....

    Love how he includes Albuquerque in this song!!! I'm from New Mexico and he is one of the few singers who include such a beautiful and unique state like New Mexico in his songs.

    R.... G....

    Ricky Gallegos ever heard of lights of Abq by jim glaserm

  23. T.... A....

    Dr Pepper Museum! ! I've gone further..from Brooklyn to Waco

    T.... A....

    Dublin, Texas

  24. W.... S....

    Ronnie you can't read a map? Why would you leave L.A. and go NORTH to Albquerque to get to Waco? lol......buy a GPS and keep singing!!

    W.... S....

    He also stopped in Tucson - This made me laugh.

    W.... S....

    Ronnie Dunn also lives in N.M

  25. R.... W....

    sounds a little buck...or his buddy maybe?...

  26. L.... C....

    Love this song.

  27. L.... C....

    Waco, Tx. Lol.

  28. R.... ....

    His goatee is the thickest this side of waco

  29. T.... G....

    What's not mentioned is that the all-female band behind him is an ACTUAL mariachi band out of Santa Fe, NM - quite possibly the BEST at what they do. MARIACHI BUENAVENTURA - incredible voices and musical talent in this group of gifted women!!!!!

    T.... G....

    Yes MARIACHI BUENAVENTURA are very good, but not playing on this track. Trumpets are by Nashville studio musicians Steve Patrick and Mike Haynes.

    T.... G....

    My dad plays with that group

  30. K.... ....

    needs some geography lessons.
    Nothing in that video is from the Waco area.
    'Just down the road from El Paso'?... mmmkay- if you consider 9 hrs, 50 minutes "just down the road".
    Rt 66 does not go through or anywhere near Waco either.

    K.... ....

    We know we always say hours instead of miles if you’re a Texan!

    K.... ....

    Poetic license

    K.... ....

    Hi, a quote from Ronnie "The "label" told me that they were going broke so, I used my own money... called in some favors from buddies, went to New Mexico, stuck four lodge poles in the ground, strung white Christmas lights around the tops, rented a Honda Generator, found an all female Mariachi band on Google in Albuquerque, waited for sundown and rolled tape. "

    K.... ....

    Does it really matter? Amarillo Sky was filmed in Illinois that doesn't mean it isn't a really good song. It's called Poetic License.

    K.... ....

    Its a video, jeez. give it a break. its the music that is great

  31. p.... s....

    great song, love how he uses his writing skills, especially the way he went to Waco. 
    Love the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco. 

  32. R.... P....

    play it again! :)

  33. R.... P....

    man, I love that car, the video isn't bad either

    R.... P....

    That car is what I always thought when I made it big I would be driving. Driving a Bentley GT now (LOL) but you get the idea Cadillac had us brainwashed in Texas

  34. j.... s....

    Love this song!!!!

  35. c.... c....

    Love this song. Reminds me of every guy who ever drove a hundred miles just to see me. Some memories never die.

    c.... c....

    c.... c....

    yrs sincerely,
    A European Commie-liberal
    xx

  39. G.... P....

  44. K.... B....

    First song I listened to him without Kix.... Whoa.... Wow..... Uhm....... I like him better alone.

  45. S.... ....

    Two things on how Mexico is depicted on videos/movies: Yes, we have paved roads for Christ's sakes... And the sky's as blue as everywhere else, drop the sepia effect already... Heh-zoos! I mean, Jesus! ;)

    S.... ....

    He's talking about New Mexico, not Mexico.

  46. d.... ....

    I can hear a little Johnny Cash "Ring Of Fire", Dwight Yoakum, and Marty Robbins all wrapped up in this one catchy tune. Nice tribute to all those music "greats"! Greetings from the Land Of Enchantment! I hope to see you all in Mescalero, NM later this summer. Hasta la vista, amigos.

    I been to Waco, Dallas, and Plano - it was beautiful. The people are friendly, warm, and hard working. Plus they are religious and live for their family, brothers, and sisters. I am from Central California, but can't wait to go back and see Texas again - away for the Commie-liberals and fame driven. To the Republic of Texas!
