El Paso (feat. Philip Bowen)

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 lassoo

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
