El Paso / Out On The Weekend Lyrics

Out in the West Texas town of El PasoI fell in love with a Mexican girlNight time would find me in Rosie's cantinaMusic would play, and Felina would whirlBlacker than night were the eyes of FelinaWicked and evil while casting a spellMy love was deep for this Mexican maidenI was in love, but in vain, I could tellOne night a wild young cowboy came inWild as the West Texas windDashing and daring, a drink he was sharingWith wicked Felina, the girl that I lovedSo, in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maidenDown went his hand for the gun that he woreMy challenge was answered in less than a heartbeatThe handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.Out through the back door of Rosie's I ranOut where the horses were tiedI caught a good one, it looked like it could runUp on its back, and away I did ride.Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El PasoOut to the badlands of New MexicoBack in El Paso, my life would be worthlessEverything's gone in life, nothing is leftIt's been so long since I've seen the young maidenMy love is stronger than my fear of deathI saddled up, and away I did goRiding alone in the darkMaybe tomorrow, a bullet may find meTonight, nothing's worse than this pain in my heartAnd at last here I am on the hill overlooking El PasoI can see Rosie's cantina belowMy love is strong, and it pushes me onwardDown off the hill to Felina I goOff to my right I see five mounted cowboysOff to my left ride a dozen or moreShouting and shooting, I can't let them catch meI have to make it to Rosie's back doorSomething is dreadfully wrong, for I feelA deep burning pain in my sideThough I am trying to stay in the saddleI'm getting weary, unable to rideBut my love for Felina is strong, and I rise where I've fallenThough I am weary, I can't stop to restI see the white puff of smoke from the rifleI feel the bullet go deep in my chestFrom out of nowhere, Felina has found meKissing my cheek as she kneels by my sideCradled by two loving arms that I'll die forOne little kiss, then, Felina, goodbyeThink I'll pack it in and buy a pick-upTake 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 upBut I'm so down todayShe's so fine, she's in my mind.I hear her callin'.See the lonely boy, out on the weekendTrying to make it pay.Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak andCan't bgein to say.She got pictures on the wall, they make me look upFrom her big brass bed.Now I'm running down the road trying to stay upSomewhere in her head.The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all upBut I'm so down todayShe's so fine she's in my mind.I hear her callin'.See the lonely boy, out on the weekendTrying to make it pay.Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak andCan't begin to say.
