I remember the Alamo, I don't recall who won
  They had swords, they had horses, I hear we had mighty guns
  Like the ones from Navarone last night on Channel 21
  It's a long way back to El Paso.
  
  It was early Monday morning in the Central Standard Zone
  You were quiet like the TV, hung up like the telephone
  You were sleeping next to me, I might as well have been
  alone
  It's a long way back to El Paso.
  
  CHORUS
  And if my heart was a car, you would have stripped it a
  long time ago.
  And if my heart was a car, you would have stripped it a
  long time ago.
  And if my heart was a car
  
  You would have stripped it down and sold it off
  To the greasy man in the salvage lot
  As it is it's just a heart
  No, no, it ain't worth nothin'.
  
  I ain't talkin' bout tomorrow, I'm talkin' 'bout tonight
  You told me you were drunk already, that don't make it
  right
  You want at me, well, have at it, 'cause I'm in the mood to
  fight
  And it's a long way back to El Paso.
  
  And if my heart was a car, you would have stripped it a
  long time ago.
  And if my heart was a car, you would have stripped it a
  long time ago.
  
  And if my heart was a car, you would have stripped it a
  long time ago.
  And if my heart was a,
  And if my heart was a,
  And if my heart was a car,
  
  (Repeat Chorus)
