El Paso

(アルバム： Honestly (A Personal Collection) - 2020)

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 I 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
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
In el paso
