Goodbye Joe, in the kindest way I hope I never see you again
Now that you know, you bought a pickup truck to go and find your own way
When she left you standing on your wedding day, hand full of heat from the golden band of shame
Now you make your way across the pastel shades, the sun will never set on you again

I have seen through the eyes of a mad machine called the border fence
I pretend that my broken heart contends with the pain of that
And I know I’ll never come this way again, even if I’m on the same road
Each day we pay for a lifetime of sin, when we could be bloomin like a desert rose
It’s hard to see but easy to breathe in El Paso Rain
