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

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 heart of Felina

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

My challenge 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.

Now I think I'll find me a pick-up

Make it out to L.A.

Find a little place and try to fix up.

Start a brand new day.

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'.

[04:25.89]See the lonely boy, out on the weekend

[04:32.79]Trying to make it pay.

Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and

Can't begin to say.

Something is dreadfully wrong, as I crumple

There is pain in my side and blood everywhere

I'm crumpled

And I feel Felina she kneels down by my side

Once more in the arms of my loved one

Then kiss Felina goodbye

He can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and

He can't begin to say.
