King of El Paso |
| About a million stars in that desert sky |
| So high and lonesome it can make you want to cry |
| Or drive your young blood wild |
| And a burning glow above that northern ridge |
| Three day ride will get you straight down to old Juarez |
| A fool’s El Dorado |
| He got a taste for Mescal and sweet perfume |
| Didn’t take long to get him in the back room |
| All of sixteen and first taste of the border |
| There’s a pile of bones out on the desert floor |
| All that’s left of el Conquistador. |
| the conqueror |
| Well I rode that beast down into the ground |
| Through every draw and every border town |
| That devil carried me |
| You watch a few go down to the fire or the rope |
| You leave little to chance and nothing to hope |
| An old 24 and nothing could hold me down |
| (Ain't gonna ride no more) |
| Ain’t gonna ride no more |
| Well you cross it once you’re gonna cross it again |
| Something keeps you coming back to that shadowland |
| And so I did for the mysteries |
| To hear that old soul stirrer slamming through the night |
| Tombstone train cuts its own daylight |
| Ain’t gonna ride no more |
| Though my leathers worn and my cuffs in tatters |
| My hearts on straight and that’s all that matters |
| If I lose a few moves it ain’t no loss |
| Cause there’s only one border left for me to cross |
| (Ain't gonna ride no more) |
| I’ll take my sweet time on that one |
| Ain’t gonna ride no more |
| (Ain't gonna ride no more) |
| Oh I ain’t gonna ride no more |
| They call me King Of El Paso and my advice |
| Learn that road between here and paradise |
| (Ain't gonna ride no more) |
| Ain’t gonna ride no more |
| (Ain't gonna ride no more) |
