"El Paso" lyrics

"El Paso"

I bet you're out there checking fences
Bringing all the mail in
Two fingers of bourbon
Waiting for me to check in
And when you go to sleep in our bed
I hope you know you're in my head

Pulling me a little closer
Your lips kissing my shoulder
You promising you'll hold me
And love me when I'm old me
And not a damn thing would change
Even when I fly away

You got both feet on the ground
I'm on the moon, up so high
Shining down on a different town
Just dreaming as big as the Texas sky
But now I'm missing home
While I'm out here on the road
Ooh, yeah
You've got a way with that lasso
Pulling me back to El Paso

I lost track of all the miles
Sleeping in between the cities
But I can't forget your smile
'Cause I got your picture with me
So, even in this hotel bed
You're the only thing in my head

When I'm under bright lights
It almost gets me too high
But baby, every word I sing about you
Every word's the whole damn truth

You got both feet on the ground
I'm on the moon, up so high
Shining down on a different town
Just dreaming as big as the Texas sky
But now I'm missing home
While I'm out here on the road
Ooh, yeah
You've got a way with that lasso
Pulling me back to El Paso

When I'm under bright lights
It almost gets me too high
But baby, every word I sing about you
Every word's the whole damn truth

You got both feet on the ground
I'm on the moon, up so high
Shining down on a different town
Just dreaming as big as the Texas sky
But now I'm missing home
While I'm out here on the road
Ooh, yeah
You've got a way with that lasso
Pulling me back to El Paso
