El Paso

Westbound moving down the big stripe Headed for that California coastline Reeling in the silence, keeping between the lines Trying to make El Paso by tonight Gave away all I couldn't take with me The only way I could ever truly set me free So don't call my name in that soft and tender way Don't give your heart to me now that I've escaped If I come back at all it's not for you to say Out here in the desert, underneath the stars Everything I own and me, sleeping in my car No one around me now to tell me where to start Another dreamer in the dark Goodbye all I thought I knew so well Turns out no one even noticed my farewell So don't call my name in that soft and tender way Don't give your heart to me now that I've escaped If I come back at all it's not for you anyway Westbound moving down the big stripe Trying to make El Paso by tonight
