El Paso City

In the style of

Marty Robbins

Lyrics

from thirty thousand
feet above
the desert floor
i see it there below

a city with a legend
the west texas
city of el paso
where long ago
i heard a song
about a texas cowboy
and a girl

and a little place
called rose's
where he used to go
and watch this
beauty whirl

i don't recall
who sang the song
but i recall
the story that i heard
and as i look down
on this city
i remember each
and every word

the singer sang about
a jealous cowboy
and the way
he used a gun
to kill
another cowboy
then he had to leave
el paso on the run

el paso city
by the rio grande
the cowboy lived
and rode away
but love was strong
he couldn't stay he
rode back just to die
in that el paso sand

el paso city
by the rio grande
i try not to let you
cross my mind but still
i find there's such a
mystery in the song
that i don't
understand

my mind is down
there somewhere
as i fly above
the badlands
of new mexico

i can't explain
why i should know
the very trail
he rode back
to el paso

can it be that man
can disappear
from life
and live
another time

and does the
mystery deepen
'cause you think that
you yourself
lived in that
other time

somewhere in
my deepsest thoughts
familiar scenes
and memories unfold
these wild and
unexplained emotions
that i've had so long
but i have never told

like every time i fly up
through the heavens
and i see you
there below
i get the feeling
sometime
in another world
i lived in el paso

el paso city
by the rio grande
could it be that i
could be the cowboy
in this mystery
that died there
in that desert sand
so long ago

el paso city
by the rio grande
the voice tells me
to go and see
another voice
keeps tellin' me

maybe death
awaits me
in el paso
el paso city
