EL PASO!!!

It was early in the morning 'bout nine to nine
We were driving through the night near the Mexican line
They said we caught you red
We can shoot you dead
So tell us what you got or get a bullet in your head

Got the arrested in El Paso blues
Throw out the [bad word] and the booze
Got the arrested in El Paso blues
We've only got our rights and our freedom to lose

They confiscated our green and they took our dough
They arrested us in El Paso
Now they're pattin us down and kickin our shoes
Readin us our rights got the arrested in El Paso blues

Got the arrested in El Paso blues
Throw out the [bad word] and the booze
Got the arrested in El Paso blues
We've only got our rights and our freedom to lose

They got my worldly possessions thrown about the floor
And I don't think we're gonna make the show no more
So don't you mess with Texas from experience I know
And steer far clear of the U.S. border patrol

Got the arrested in El Paso blues
Throw out the [bad word] and the booze
Got the arrested in El Paso blues
We've only got our rights and our freedom to lose
