El paso
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Flooded roads
out of town
Call and telephone lines are down
I call
and the lines are down
Retarded girl oh' she slurs
Tornadoes out on the desert sir
Tornadoes out on the desert
and were I'm going to:
El Paso I'm going to,
El Paso I'm going to
Chicken blood
on my pants
My Hands are shaky and pillow is damp
My Hands are shaky and pillow is damp ooh
Cigarette
on a rumble seat
Drive all day got nothing to eat
I'm Drivin all day got nothing to get me to were I'm going to:
El Paso I'm going to,
El Paso I'm going tooo....
Guitar solo
Look out
Juarez
I gonna dance with the Strawberry girl
I don't dance with Strawberry girls
Green shirt
muddy shoes
Waiting on the bus to get me through
I'm waiting on the bus to get me to were I'm going to:
El Paso I'm going to,
El Paso I'm going to
El Paso I'm going to
