El Paso is a country and western ballad written and originally recorded by Marty Robbins, and first released on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs in September 1959.
Robbins wrote this in a car as he and his family were traveling through Texas on the way to Arizona. The song is a Western saga complete with drama, violence, and romance. At 4:40, this song was exceptionally long by pop standards.e took a day off and went to Cape Canaveral and Daytona, where we took a tour of the track. At one point I asked the guide who had left a particularly long skid mark ending at the wall--Marty Robbins. And El Paso was a truly great song--I loved it when it was a hit, and I still love it.
