Out in the West Texas town of El Paso - I fell in love with a
Mexican girl. Nighttime would find me in Rose's Cantina,
Music would play and Felina would twirl.
One night a wild young cowboy came in - Wild as the West Texas
wind. Dashing and daring, a drink they were sharing,
With wicked Felina, the girl that I love.
So in anger - I challenged his right for the heart of Felina
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered, in no less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
Out through the back door of Rose's I ran, Out where the horses
were tied. I found a good one; it looked like it could run,
Up on its back and away I did ride ----
Now I think I?ll buy me a pick-up
Make it out to L.A.
Find a little place and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.
She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up
From her big brass bed.
Now I'm running down the road trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head.
The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up
But I'm so down today she's so fine, she's in my mind,
I hear her callin'.
See the lonely boy, out on the weekend - Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and - Can't begin to say.
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel as I crumble
A deep burning pain in my side and blood everywhere
I?m crumbled I see Felina she kneels down by my side
Once more in the arms of my loved one and kiss Felina goodbye
See the lonely boy, out on the weekend - Trying to make it pay.
Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and - Can't begin to say.
It works and it's -- Wild!
