Karaoké El Paso City Marty Robbins

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 Rosa's where he used to go and watch this beauty whirl

I don't recall who sang the song but I recall a 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 'cos you think that you yourself lived in that other time

Somewhere in my deepest thoughts familiar scenes and memories unfold

These wild and unexplained emotions that I've had so long but I have never told

Like everytime 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

A voice tells me to go and seek

Another voice keeps telling me maybe death awaits me in El Paso

El Paso city
