El Paso City - Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
From thirty thousand feet[00:00:13]
Above the desert floor I see it there below[00:00:15]
A city with the legend[00:00:22]
The west Texas city of El Paso[00:00:25]
Where long ago I heard a song[00:00:31]
About a Texas cowboy and a girl[00:00:33]
And a little place called Rose's[00:00:40]
Where he used to go[00:00:42]
And watch this beauty whirl[00:00:43]
I don't recall who sang the song[00:00:49]
But I recall the story that I heard[00:00:51]
And as I look down on the city[00:00:58]
I remember each and every word[00:01:00]
The singer sang about a jealous cowboy[00:01:07]
And the way he used a gun[00:01:10]
To kill another cowboy[00:01:16]
Then he had to leave El Paso on the run[00:01:18]
El Paso City by the Rio Grande[00:01:24]
The cowboy lived and rode away[00:01:34]
But love was strong he couldn't stay[00:01:36]
He rode back just to die in that El Paso sand[00:01:38]
El Paso City by the Rio Grande[00:01:44]
I try not to let you cross my mind[00:01:54]
But still I find[00:01:57]
There's such a mystery in the song[00:01:58]
That I don't understand[00:02:00]
My mind is down there somewhere as[00:02:05]
I fly above the badlands of New Mexico[00:02:07]
I can't explain why I should know[00:02:14]
The very trail he rode back to El Paso[00:02:16]
Can it be that man can disappear from[00:02:23]
Life and live another time[00:02:26]
And does the mystery deepen cause you think[00:02:32]
That you yourself lived in that other time[00:02:34]
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts[00:02:41]
Familiar scenes and memories unfold[00:02:43]
These wild and unexplained emotions[00:02:50]
That I've had so long but I have never told[00:02:52]
Like everytime I fly up through the heavens[00:02:58]
And I see you there below[00:03:01]
I get the feeling sometime in another world[00:03:07]
I lived in El Paso[00:03:11]
El Paso City by the Rio Grande[00:03:16]
Could it be that I could be[00:03:26]
The cowboy in this mystery[00:03:27]
That died there in that[00:03:30]
Desert sand so long ago[00:03:31]
El Paso City by the Rio Grande[00:03:36]
A voice tells me to go and seek[00:03:46]
Another voice keeps telling me[00:03:48]
Maybe death awaits me in El Paso[00:03:50]
El Paso City[00:03:56]
