[Verse]
D
Josie Escalido, she lived south of the border.
A7
In a church her grand-daddy's daddy built
A little catholic mission where she would spend her days wishin'
D
That he would come along and she'd be saved
Jimmy was an outlaw and outcast from the bad lands
A7
He rode a horse as black as his heart
Stayed, hopped up on mezcal, chased whiskey with saloon gals
D
But he never could get Josie off his mind
G
And he said, "Meet me after midnight.
D
I'll be riding hard and fast
A7
And our love is like a slow dance
D
I'm just tryin' to make it last
G
And I'm laying down my six guns
D
And surrendering my heart
A7 G
And it'll be a rosary, sangria, tequila and a cross
D
Outlaws, angels and the lost"
D A7
D
Jimmy married Josie in that little mountain chapel
And made a vow to Josie and to God
A7
He'd turn from his wicked ways and leave behind his outlaw days
D
And pray for forgiveness from his sins
D
But the past is like a storm that crashes in from the north
A7
Rolls south with the posse set on death
Blood all over Jimmy's hands and Josie lying in the desert sand
D
With a bullet that tore Jimmy's heart in two
G
And he screamed, "Meet me after midnight
D
I'll be riding hard and fast
A7
And our love is like a slow dance
D
I'm just tryin' to make it last
G
And I'm laying down my six guns
D
And surrendering my heart
A7 G
It'll be a rosary, sangria, tequila and a cross
D
Outlaws, angels and the lost"
D A7
D
When you're searching for the devil
Turns out he's not hard to find
A7
He rides a horse as black as his heart
Hell and fire with two-six guns
A black horse on a dead end run
D
When he rode into the rangers camp at dawn
Jimmy buried Josie in the ashes of that chapel
A7
Left the rangers lying in the sun
Rode out towards the bad lands
And maybe God will understand
D
That sometimes even angels will get lost
G
And he cried, "Meet me after midnight
D
I'll be riding hard and fast
A7
And our love is like a slow dance
D
I'm just tryin' to make it last
G
And I'm laying down my six guns
D
And surrendering my heart
A7 G
It'll be a rosary, sangria, tequila and a cross
D
Outlaws, angels and the lost"
D A7
