[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
