I was told long ago that you'd learn more on a building site than you would in school,
I don't know who's to know in El Paso
Friday nights the floodlights you'd hear us roar
Sing the town till we die then our throats went sore
We have grown on the road to El Paso
Photographs on your mantelpiece they fade
Sitting at some bus stop in the pouring rain
In your mind things that you've seen
Now the shoe is on the other foot, how does that feel
If you wanna go I'll take you there,
Feel the rain on your face in the morning air
Let's go back, take me back to El Paso
You go around with your tie and your briefcase
With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space
Take me back, take me back to El Paso
Oh take a walk, take a walk down the echo road I'll be waiting
Don't you know i'll be waiting.
And if you wanna go I'll take you there,
Feel the rain on your face in the morning air
Take me back, let's go back to El Paso
You go around with your tie and your briefcase
With a look on your face like I'm a waste of space
Take me back, take me back, take me back let's go back
To El Paso, to El Paso, to El Paso, to my El Paso.
