Phil Vassar - Joe & Rosalita Lyrics
(phil vassar, charlie black)Joe and rosalita, lookem up in the year bookEven then they had that wild-in-love crazy lookJoes car on friday night, after the ball gameSteam so thick on the windowsThey could write their namesTheyd fight like cats and dogs outside of homeroomSeeem hangin all over each other that same afternoonJoe and rosalitaBall-cap, good-ole boy and brown-eyed senoritaRocked this town like no ones ever doneround here theyre known as the legends of loveOld mr.rosenbaum kickedem out of the senior promBusted for dirty dancinSent him home and he called her momPulled the old pillow trick, and they both snuck outShowed up two days later still in a tux and a prom gownGot married on the steps outside the courthouseCalled it the great escape, people still talk about it nowJoe and rosalitaBall-cap, good-ole boy and brown-eyed senoritaRocked this town like no ones ever doneround here theyre known as the legends of loveRosalita is still a roseNow its been 10 years for rose and joeNow sometimes you seeem cruisin down main streetStill got his arm around her, two kids in the backseatThey book a babysitter to go out on fridaySometimes they never even make it out of the drivewayJoe and rosalitaBall-cap, good-ole boy and brown-eyed senoritaRocked this town like no ones ever doneround here theyre known as the legends of love
