Boz Scaggs - King of El Paso Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 aint 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
  • Aint gonna ride no more
  • (Ain't gonna ride no more)
  • Oh I aint 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)
