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) |
