El Paso Skyline - #ElPasoStrong Edition

Got a call from my buddy back home last friday night Been awhile since we’d caught up, guess the time was finally right. We talked about our jobs, and out kids, and our wives, And our crazy busy lives. I said, how’s my baby sister. Haven’t seen her in awhile. Have you met that boy she’s dating? I hear he’s a little wild. He said, naw he’s fine, But if he steps out of line, man, you know who to call. And brother I miss you, let’s talk again soon. Got me thinking about that El Paso skyline, And that sea of lights burning brighter than the stars tonight There’s a long road behind me, 1000 miles of memories But I left my hometown roots, so I could learn to find my wings I remember the night we climbed that water tower And ended up running form the cops. In that rusted up, brown Chevy truck with the bumper busted off Yeah we were bulletproof and we never knew How much we pushed our luck, Or where we’d all end up And it gets me thinking about that El Paso skyline, And that sea of lights burning brighter than the stars tonight There’s a long road behind me, 1000 miles of memories But I left my hometown roots, so I could learn to find my wings Some days I miss my friends and my family And that house on Daugherty rd. I miss Friday nights, football lights, and my high school blue and gold And that star on the mountain seems to call me back home. And it gets me thinking about that El Paso skyline, And that sea of lights burning brighter than the stars tonight There’s a long road behind me, 1000 miles of memories But I left my hometown roots, so I could learn to find my wings

about

On August 3, 2019, an act of absolute cowardice and senseless hate rocked my hometown of El Paso, Texas. Many are dead due to an an open shooting at a place I spent countless hours of my childhood, adolescence, and adult life. But I tell you this, what was meant to break us will only make us stronger.

We will not back down. We will not let fear win. And we will remain #elpasostrong.

We love you El Paso. And our hearts are with you tonight.

Also sales (and additional donations) of this album will be donated to the Victims Fund through the El Paso Community Foundation.
