King Of El Paso Lyrics - Dig - Boz Scaggs

About a million stars in that desert sky 

So high and lonesome it can make you want to cry 

Or drive your young blood wild 

And a burning glow above that northern ridge 

Three day ride will get you straight down to old Juarez 

A fool's El Dorado 

He got a taste for Mescal and sweet perfume 

Didn't take long to get him in the back room 

All of sixteen and first taste of the border 

There's a pile of bones out on the desert floor 

All that's left of el Conquistador... the conqueror 

Well I rode that beast down into the ground 

Through every draw and every border town 

That devil carried me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You watch a few go down to the fire or the rope 

You leave little to chance and nothing to hope 

An old 24 and nothing could hold me down 

(Ain't gonna ride no more) 

Ain't gonna ride no more 

Well you cross it once you're gonna cross it again 

Something keeps you coming back to that shadowland 

And so I did for the mysteries 

To hear that old soul stirrer slamming through the 

Night 

Tombstone train cuts it's own daylight 

Ain't gonna ride no more 

Though my leathers worn and my cuffs in tatters 

My hearts on straight and that's all that matters 

If I lose a few moves it aint no loss 

Cause there's only one border left for me to cross 

(Ain't gonna ride no more) 

Photos 

I'll take my sweet time on that one 

Aint gonna ride no more 

(Ain't gonna ride no more) 

Oh I aint gonna ride no more 

They call me King Of El Paso and my advice 

Learn that road between here and paradise 

(Ain't gonna ride no more) 

Ain't gonna ride no more 

(Ain't gonna ride no more)
