Song Lyrics:

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso
I spent a whole week out there in one day
I looked all over for Rosa's Cantina
I think Hernando had hid it away

I asked a cab driver where's Rosa's Cantina?
I'd like to find it cause I can't stay long
He said why don't you go ask Marty Robbins?
Cause he's the hombre who made up the song

I heard the cab driver holler "Ole"
Come to Velveeta's cafe
Velveeta cha cha's and shakes her maracas
Over the bridge that they call Santa Fe
So away

We went into the traffic and over the river
I asked the cab driver why all the fuss?
Why do you foller the front cab so closely?
He said we have to cause he's towing us

Velveeta's cafe had standing room only
Wall to wall drunks all the way to the street
I looked around for a place I could sit down
A lady stood up then, and I grabbed her seat

Soon I felt single though I could see double
Drinking tequila and feeling so grand
Started to walk out, got into trouble
Just then some drunk stepped on top of my hand

I see velveeta's eyes looking at me
bloodshot and shinin with scorn
I asked her where have you been all my life?
She answered most of it I wasn't born
So in anger

I tore out of there like a big herd of turtles
Over the river and back to my car
Goodbye to Juarez and goodbye El Paso
Goodbye Velveeta, whatever you are
