About a million stars in that desert sky
So high and lonesome it can make you want to cry
Or drive your young blood wild
And a burning glow above that northern ridge
Three day ride will get you straight down to old Juarez
A fool's El Dorado
He got a taste for Mescal and sweet perfume
Didn't take long to get him in the back room
All of sixteen and first taste of the border
There's a pile of bones out on the desert floor
All that's left of el Conquistador.. the conqueror
Well I rode that beast down into the ground
Through every draw and every border town
That devil carried me
You watch a few go down to the fire or the rope
You leave little to chance and nothing to hope
An old 24 and nothing could hold me down
(Ain't gonna ride no more)
