El Paso Lyrics

I was told long ago that you'd learn more on a building site than you would in school,

I don't know who's to know in El Paso

Friday nights the floodlights you'd hear us roar

Sing the town till we die then our throats went sore

We have grown on the road to El Paso

Photographs on your mantelpiece they fade

Sitting at some bus stop in the pouring rain

In your mind things that you've seen

Now the shoe is on the other foot, how does that feel

If you wanna go I'll take you there,

Feel the rain on your face in the morning air

Let's go back, take me back to El Paso

You go around with your tie and your briefcase

With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space

Take me back, take me back to El Paso

Oh take a walk, take a walk down the echo road I'll be waiting

Don't you know i'll be waiting

And if you wanna go I'll take you there,

Feel the rain on your face in the morning air

Take me back, let's go back to El Paso

You go around with your tie and your briefcase

With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space

Take me back, take me back, take me back let's go back

To El Paso, to El Paso, to El Paso, to my El Paso
