well guess what i have found out what exactly they are saying there just in case anyone cares..... they are saying: nd we happen to walk into "nuevo loredo" you see right across the US border from loredo, in mexico, is a little town called "nuevo loredo" and if ya listen to the song boy does it fit in......... of course this isnt word of mouth from the writer or bonnie raitt, but that the way i will be doing it ......thanks again to all that helped....

I always sang it "when we happened to walk in to nuevo cour Leon." (the new "lion's heart")

Actually, they are singing "Nuevo Leon", which is the name of the Mexican State that it close to the border.
