El Paso City - Marty Robbins

I was on the outside I was looking in like a deer in the headlights Stuck in slow motion like I was on the turnpike No ability to steer Can't shake the feeling I'm starting to disappear I'm weighed down in this city It's hard to live here, and I've been feeling restless There's this battle raging in me Don't want to love you anymore But I can't help it I was on the outside Like we were at the cinema Your face was hidden Behind the camera I think I love you More than I'd admit And I was not prepared to be seeing you like this And I'm weighed down in this city It's hard to live here And I've been feeling restless There's this battle raging in me Don't want to love you anymore But I can't help it And between you and me This city is slowly poisoning me And I'm gonna rip deeper into its scales, it Rots beneath my fingernails, and When I try to claw out of the pit All I do is get sucked back in Don't want to love you anymore But I just can't help it And I'm weighed down in this city And I've been feeling restless This battle is raging in me Don't want to love you anymore But I can't help it I'm weighed down in this city Don't want to love you anymore

You don't have to be alone all by yourself Tired of doing things just to save your mental health You made a wish and then you lost it down the wishing well But when you're with me There's no need to be So tell me is there somewhere else that you wanna go? 'Cause you've been running round in circles, stuck in slow-mo I've got that feeling that you really wanna hit the door If you've lost the fight Then let's win the war When you're tired of hiding And you've gotta run, hop right in Sit shotgun, I'm driving I'll be your protector Who's gonna be there when Everything is tumbling down? Who's gonna be there when You fall to keep you off of the ground? I'll be your shelter They'll never get ya So stay with me and I'll be your protector No it ain't easy to survive up in these city streets Lookin' for someone to help you when you scrape your knees Takin' too many punches, now it's getting hard to breathe I'll be your reason so you can believe Are you waiting for someone? Just hold on, here I come To fix when you're undone Now tell me when you're tired of hiding And you gotta run, hop right in Sit shotgun, I'm driving I'll be your protector Who's gonna be there when Everything is tumbling down? Who's gonna be there when You fall to keep you off of the ground? I'll be your shelter They'll never get ya So stay with me and I'll be your protector I'll be your protector So life is a tightrope, and it's hard to maintain Let me hold your umbrella, and never feel the rain You're standing on the edge now, stay close I'm going 12 rounds, ready for another dose Your momma said, "Never run from the devil" Steel chin, and a fist made of metal Look at my face, serious as a heart attack Comin' in your corner, shades on, dressed in black Who's gonna be there when Everything is tumbling down? Who's gonna be there when You fall to pick you up off the ground? I'll be your shelter They'll never get ya So stay with me and I'll be your protector Who's gonna be there when Everything is tumbling down? Who's gonna be there when You fall to keep you off of the ground? I'll be your shelter They'll never get ya So stay with me and I'll be your protector Who's gonna be there? Who's gonna be there To pick you off of the ground? I'll be your shelter They'll never get ya So stay with me and I'll be your protector

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
