Out in El Paso

Intro

Oh-oh

Yeah

Check it

Yo

Verse 1

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso

I fell in love with a girl from the coast

Nighttime was blooming in Rosa's cantina

Music was playing while she was the host

The shadows are long and the whiskey is cheap

I was too shallow and digging too deep

One wicked look from her black velvet eyes

Took all my spirit and left me a prize

Suddenly a handsome young stranger appeared

Full of the hubris and half of the feared

Pre-Chorus

He was looking for a fight

In the middle of the night

Now I'm running from the light

Chorus

Oh El Paso

The desert is calling my name tonight

Wild horses won't bring me home

I'm a dead man walking through the red sun light

Fallen and I'm far from the throne

El Paso

Oh El Paso

Verse 2

Stole the fastest stallion I could find there

Riding away through the heat and the sand

Blood on the saddle and blood on my hands now

Running from justice in no man's land

The wind is a whip and the moon is a ghost

Living with choices that I hate the most

Better to die in the arms of the sweet

Than living a life that is built on defeat

I hear them coming for vengeance and glory

Ending the chapters of my tired story

Pre-Chorus

He was looking for a fight

In the middle of the night

Now I'm running from the light

Chorus

Oh El Paso

The desert is calling my name tonight

Wild horses won't bring me home

I'm a dead man walking through the red sun light

Fallen and I'm far from the throne

El Paso

Oh El Paso

Drop

Run now

Yeah run now

(Out in El Paso)

Watch me bleed

Bridge

Maybe I stay

Maybe I go

Maybe I rot in the dirt down below

Cradled in lace as the life starts to fade

Paid for the mess and the choices I made

One last kiss as the vision turns black

There is no road and there's no turning back

Chorus

Oh El Paso

The desert is calling my name tonight

Wild horses won't bring me home

I'm a dead man walking through the red sun light

Fallen and I'm far from the throne

El Paso

Oh El Paso

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Oh oh

Down in El Paso

Yeah I'm falling

I'm falling away
