El Paso / Out on the Weekend Lyrics – Giant Sand
Singer: Giant Sand
Title: El Paso / Out on the Weekend
Out in the west texas town of el paso
I fell in love with a mexican girl
Night time would find me in rosie’s cantina
Music would play, and felina would whirl
Blacker than night were the eyes of felina
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
My love was deep for this mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain, i could tell
One night a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the west texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With wicked felina, the girl that i loved
So, in anger i challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down wеnt his hand for the gun that he wore
My challеnge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Out through the back door of rosie’s i ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back, and away i did ride
Just as fast as i could from the west texas town of el paso
Out to the badlands of new mexico
Back in el paso, my life would be worthless
Everything’s gone in life, nothing is left
It’s been so long since i’ve seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death
I saddled up, and away i did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow, a bullet may find me
Tonight, nothing’s worse than this pain in my heart
And at last here i am on the hill overlooking el paso
I can see rosie’s cantina below
My love is strong, and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to felina i go
Off to my right i see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting, i can’t let them catch me
I have to make it to rosie’s back door
Something is dreadfully wrong, for i feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though i am trying to stay in the saddle
I’m getting weary, unable to ride
But my love for felina is strong, and i rise where i’ve fallen
Though i am weary, i can’t stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
From out of nowhere, felina has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that i’ll die for
One little kiss, then, felina, goodbye
Think i’ll pack it in and buy a pick-up
Take it down to l.a
Find a place to call my own and try to fix up
Start a brand new day
The woman i’m thinking of, she loved me all up
But i’m so down today
She’s so fine, she’s in my mind
I hear her callin’
See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can’t relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can’t bgein to say
She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up
From her big brass bed
Now i’m running down the road trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head
The woman i’m thinking of, she loved me all up
But i’m so down today
She’s so fine she’s in my mind
I hear her callin’
See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Can’t relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can’t begin to say
