"El Paso City" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Marty Robbins.
It was released in March 1976 as the first single and title track from the album El Paso City.
[citation needed] The song is a reworking (and indirect sequel) of Robbins' 1959 hit "El Paso," about a gunfighter who flees for his life after killing another man in a fit of jealousy, but who later returns and is himself shot dead by a posse.
He fails to recall the man who sang "El Paso," but immediately senses a supernatural connection to the story.
The Meat Puppets covered the song on their single We Don't Exist (1994).
