Casey Donahew Band - Josie Escalido lyrics

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 d**h 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
