Charlie Marie - El Paso

El paso was where we met
And where you walked away
I guess our love was just an act
A part for you to play

The cactus had blossomed
The river on the rise
I never saw it coming
It was all a waste of time

He left me in a lonestar state
He left me on a sunny day
He left me with the desert sand
He left me at the Rio Grande
He left me for a man

You love who you love
Baby that's not a crime
But a cheater is a cheater
Your dirty laundry's on the line

Now I'm high on a mountain
I see us for all we were
Since our sun is setting
Guess I'll just watch it burn

He left me in a lonestar state
He left me on a sunny day
He left me with the desert sand
He left me at the Rio Grande
He left me for a man

Thought you were a soft place to land
When we danced to that Mariachi band
You can't always stand by your man

He left me in a lonestar state
He left me on a sunny day
He left me with the desert sand
He left me at the Rio Grande
He left me for a man
