Old 97's - El paso - king of the hill o.s.t. lyrics

Paroles de la chanson El Paso (King of the Hill O.S.T.) : Out in the west texas town of el paso I fell in love with a mexican girl Nighttime would fine me in roses cantina Music would play and felina would whirl Black as the night were the eyes of felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell My love was strong for this mexican maiden I was in love, but in vain I could tell 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 love So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden; 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 Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there; I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of roses I ran, out where the horses were tied... I picked a good one; he looked like he could run Up on his back and away I did ride Just as fast as I could from the west texas town of el paso Out thru the badlands of new mexico Back in el paso my life would be worthless; Everythings gone in life nothing is left But its been so long since Ive seen the young maiden My love is stronger that my fear of d**h I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark... Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothings worse than this pain in my heart And as last here I am on the hill overlooking el paso I can see roses cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward, down off the hill to felina I go Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys Off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting; I can't let them catch me Ive got to make it to roses back door Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel a deep burning pain in my Its getting harder to stay in the saddle Im getting weary, unable to ride But my love for felina is strong and I rise where Ive fallen; Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere, felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that Ill die for One little kiss and felina good-bye
