El Paso
You were fire with amarillo eyes
And I was free as Colorado skies
Out where the outlaws used to ride
Sage in the sand and the air is dry
And we were wild like the desert wind
And never thought about the consequence
Running headlong off into the night
Getting lost in the border town lines
Drinking margaritas and tequila at the L & J
Singing right along with the mariachi
Shining like the stars on the Rio Grande
Drifting away in a long slow dance
At Rosa's cantina half a world away
I was falling in love with you and you with me
Heaven was a long way away, I know
But with you, yeah, it sure felt close
In El Paso
El Paso, yeah
In El Paso
A memory that time will never steal
I hope you know that every time I feel
A little heat in the breeze of the midnight air
I can still see us back then
Drinking margaritas and tequila at the L & J
Singing right along with the mariachi
Shining like the stars on the Rio Grande
Drifting away in a long slow dance
At Rosa's cantina half a world away
I was falling in love with you and you with me
Heaven was a long way away, I know
But with you, yeah, it sure felt close
In El Paso
El Paso, yeah
In El Paso
In a dusty corner of the world
Time stood still
It wasn't paradise or perfect
But baby, it sure felt real
Drinking margaritas and tequila at the L & J
Singing right along with the mariachi (singing right along)
Shining like the stars on the Rio Grande
Drifting away in a long slow dance
At Rosa's cantina half a world away
I was falling in love with you and you with me
Heaven was a long way away, I know
But with you, yeah, it sure felt close
In El Paso (yeah, in El Paso)
El Paso (El Paso)
In El Paso
And I was free as Colorado skies
Out where the outlaws used to ride
Sage in the sand and the air is dry
And we were wild like the desert wind
And never thought about the consequence
Running headlong off into the night
Getting lost in the border town lines
Drinking margaritas and tequila at the L & J
Singing right along with the mariachi
Shining like the stars on the Rio Grande
Drifting away in a long slow dance
At Rosa's cantina half a world away
I was falling in love with you and you with me
Heaven was a long way away, I know
But with you, yeah, it sure felt close
In El Paso
El Paso, yeah
In El Paso
A memory that time will never steal
I hope you know that every time I feel
A little heat in the breeze of the midnight air
I can still see us back then
Drinking margaritas and tequila at the L & J
Singing right along with the mariachi
Shining like the stars on the Rio Grande
Drifting away in a long slow dance
At Rosa's cantina half a world away
I was falling in love with you and you with me
Heaven was a long way away, I know
But with you, yeah, it sure felt close
In El Paso
El Paso, yeah
In El Paso
In a dusty corner of the world
Time stood still
It wasn't paradise or perfect
But baby, it sure felt real
Drinking margaritas and tequila at the L & J
Singing right along with the mariachi (singing right along)
Shining like the stars on the Rio Grande
Drifting away in a long slow dance
At Rosa's cantina half a world away
I was falling in love with you and you with me
Heaven was a long way away, I know
But with you, yeah, it sure felt close
In El Paso (yeah, in El Paso)
El Paso (El Paso)
In El Paso
