The Rose of El Paso (Remix)

Chorus

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina

Blacker than all of the night was her hair

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

(She had it all)

Verse 1

Buckle up it's about to get rowdy

Faded leather seats inside the old Audi

Spinnin' blocks in a desert state of mind

Ran away with a prize I had to find

Wanted posters nailed to every cedar post

Walking with a shadow or a ghost

Caught a glance of her obsidian eyes

Sprinted for the door under dusty skies

Better run boy

Before they catch you with the iron

Pre-Chorus

Wicked is the wind that blows my name

One shot fired just to end the game

Heart is thumping like a kick drum beat

Running out of luck on this empty street

Chorus

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina

Blacker than all of the night was her hair

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Drop

Run it

El Paso

Verse 2

Riding out like I am Jesse James

Bullet holes etched into the frames

Saw her face and I lost my cool

Used to be the king now I am a fool

Vultures circling over the hot sand

Looking for the guy with a bleeding hand

Something's coming and it's coming fast

Never thought a summer crush would last

Maybe I stayed

Maybe I prayed

Maybe I died for the love of a maid

Pre-Chorus

Wicked is the wind that blows my name

One shot fired just to end the game

Heart is thumping like a kick drum beat

Running out of luck on this empty street

Chorus

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina

Blacker than all of the night was her hair

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Drop

Down in the valley

Down in the valley

Chorus

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina

Blacker than all of the night was her hair

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

(El Paso)
