From thirty thousand feet above
the desert floor I see it there below
the West Texas city of El Paso
Where long ago I heard a song about
a Texas cowboy and a girl
And a little place called Rosa's where he
used to go and watch this beauty whirl
I don't recall who sang the song but
I recall a story that I heard
And as I look down on this city I remember
The singer sang about a jealous
cowboy and the way he used a gun
then he had to leave El Paso on the run
My mind is down there somewhere as
I fly above the badlands of New Mexico
I can't explain why I should know the very
trail he rode back to El Paso
Can it be that man can disappear
from life and live another time
And does the mystery deepen 'cause you think that
you yourself lived in that other time
Somewhere in my deepest thoughts famil
iar scenes and memories unfold
These wild and unexplained emotions that I've had so long,
Like everytime I fly up through the
heavens and I see you there below
I get the feeling sometime in an
other world I lived in El Paso
Could it be that I could be
the cowboy in the mystery
A voice tells me to go and seek,
another voice keeps telling me
Maybe death awaits me in El Paso
