Casey Donahew - Josie Escalido
Josie Escalido
She lived south of the border
In a church
her granddaddy's daddy built
A Little catholic mission
Where she spent
her days wishing
That he would come along
and she'd be saved
Jimmy was an outlaw
An outcast from the bad lands
He rode a horse
as black as his heart
Stayed hopped up on mezcal
Chased whiskey with saloon gals
But he never could
get Josie off his mind
He said meet me
after midnight
I'll be riding hot and fast
And our love is
like a slow dance
I'm just trying to
make it last
And I'm laying down
my six guns
And surrendering my heart
It'll be rosary and sangria
Tequila and the cross
Outlaws
angels and the lost
Jimmy married Josie
In that little mountain chapel
He made a vow
to Josie and the God
He'd turn from
his wicked ways
And leave behind
his outlaw days
And pray for forgiveness
from his sins
But the past is like a stone
That crashes in
from the north
Rode south with
the posse set on death
Blood all over Jimmy's hands and
Josie lying in the desert sand
With a bullet that tore
Jimmy's heart in two
And he screamed
meet me after midnight
I'll be riding hot and fast
And our love is
like a slow dance
I'm just trying to
make it last
And I'm laying
down my six guns
And surrendering my heart
It'll be rosary and sangria
Tequila and the cross
Outlaws angels and the lost
When you're searching
for the devil
Turns out he's not
hard to find
He rides a horse
as black as his heart
Hell and fire with two six gun
A black horse on a dead and run
When he rode into
the range he just can't be done
Jimmy buried Josie
In the ashes of that chapel
Left the rangers
lying in the sun
Rode out toward the bad lands
And maybe God will understand
That sometimes even
angels will get lost
He cried meet me
after midnight
I'll be riding hot and fast
And our love is
like a slow dance
I'm just trying to make it last
And I'm laying down
my six guns
And surrendering my heart
It'll be rosary and sangria
Tequila and the cross
Outlaws angels and the lost
